Agreed, It's ridiculous it literally feels like no one playtested it, but then again the whole game feels that way, especially on tier mode.

Is this mission on cartel agents "screen"? Is it the one in the center below the main boss?

p.s. Thanks, Ubi, for shoving useless Russian language client down my throat!

If i recall the optical camo item only has its benefits in PVP, as enemy AI can still spot you pretty easily. Same with the ghost recon future custume, while it looks cool and makes you feel like you're the predator, it really doesn't seem to have any benefit outside of PVP. But be aware the mission to get it is complete BS, and it gets even worse the harder difficulty you play, as an FYI dont be dumb and try to play it on extreme, or advanced really....it will make you rage against the game hard.

And that's why I play ghost mode on regular only. Cba having an enemy teleport onto me after being spotted.

the camo cant equipped in pvp

and uhm, its like a stealth boost, let's say like pd2, from 30 to 18 detection, but still can detected, lol

I see, well i dont play on PVP cuz i get sick of people constantly bickering with each other it seems to be that way in every game...then you get that one person who wants to rambo it or decides "tactics? nah we dont need tactics" just dont die, or try to tell you that what you want to do is impossible and we should do it their way which actually makes it a lot harder than it needs to be.

Ive got the optical camo and the GRFS version and the GRFS didnt seem like it did anything, that it was just a gimmick. The GRFS outfit i didnt see anything about it helping with lowering detection rates both in game and on forums and such, and i still havent seen any info on it other than "i think" type of comments. Ive seen the game state the optical camo pack does make it harder for enemies to spot you, but it didnt seem like it was that impressive at the time, still felt more like a gimmick.

Does the GRFS outfit do the same because it felt like no matter what i did people could still spot me, the optical camo does seem to work a little better the more i play with it as i had 3 enemies walk basically right next to me i was prone next to a fence that had a upward slope and i was basically between the fence and the ground sloping up and all i got was a 2 second suspect notice, that once they walked past the length of my characters body it went away. Basically do they give the same stealth boost? Also do you know if your character outfit has anything to do with detection rates? ive yet to find any answers about that, as people are saying yes it does, but it seems like more people are saying that its purly cosmetic. I know a lot of FPS games your characters looks dont have any impact on being spotted, though ive played a few games that it does but its not a huge advantage like one would assume and i dont know if this game is that way or not.

HAHAHAHA don't play on extreme or advanced, ahaha.

Ubisoft thought so otherwise, when they gave us the challenge to complete this mission on extreme with snipers only...

I played it on normal and it's beyond rage inducing. my AI team are literally handicapped they continuously get spotted idk what that is also the helicopter handles like a flying tractor. and how i'm supposed to dodge 3 cobras in that thing is beyond me

If you're doing campaign forget going through all the trouble getting that suit. It doesn't help stealth. The can still see you a mile away. Unless you're doing Silent Spade then that's ok.

it does slow them down to detect, thought they still detect at same radius
