stealth is impossible on illuminate planets

[GrimdarkSalamander]

Im being serious and any of you can go try it if you want but one thing ive noticed is that the illuminates AI always seem to know where you are even if they are not currently agro. I literally had one of those drones fly over me about maybe 2 or 3 times until it spotted me while i was trying to do stealth

why you play stealth on an action game?

because i like stealth and the game supports stealth and also stealth is action like when you play it correctly

Personally, I think the game could stand to add a few more stealth implements like the cloak backpack and suppressed weapons... But what do I know as a HD1 vet??

Yeah I also noticed that the zombies tend to spawn "angry" when you get near certain objectives and come rushing in as fast as your own sprinting speed straight to you even if you're not even using that objective

There's been tons of times I'll get near one of their bases or a SAM site and then a group of 30 zombies spawns off screen and comes rushing in at full tilt

The watchers are very very sensitive and get drawn to your location very easily. Their hearing range is quite long, as I've sprinted when I was about 50m+ away from one and it got aggro'd towards me. You can tell when they're passive as they have a blue light or they're investigating something when they start doing a strobe effect of blue and purple

It feels like as long as you're in the city the gamemaster will keep spawning tons of zombie waves

The devs claim the squid zombies have terribly sight but exceptional hearing.
Since im not playing stealth i cant confirm but that might be a reason... or its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI.

just shoot down the snitch with a stun electricity gun and ur chill

[Foxador]

That could be why if it's based on hearing as hearing for enemies doesn't need sight lines and just is like in a 100m in a circle around them. Even sprinting triggers hearing because that's considered to be too loud. Plus the moment you fire a single shot it'll pretty much alert everyone

[Midas]

Yeah, I noticed zombies just appear everywhere, not just in patrols, which makes stealth kinda pointless.

They aggro from a super long distance, but stealth is very easy around them. Just check any stealth connoisseur on youtube like Eravin

[Rhaaxerus]

I've definitely noticed there are issues right now with;
AI pathing
dynamic ambient spawn system and spawn radius
AI player detection
AI frozen after spawning until players get close

I've had moments where Voteless have a sixth sense and know I'm there two blocks away,
then I've had moments where I can walk past Voteless like they're still Super Citizens just out for a stroll ignoring you.

Drone are designed to find you and they will.
Just find the best solution to take them down as soon as possible.
Illuminates react to noise, fire a weapon and they will go in that direction, use turrets to lure them where you want and no one will follow you.
Try to understand at which group belong the illuminate that you are killing, all of his group will be alerted when he dies, be prepared.
Stealth is possible, it's just difficult if you don't plan your attacks well.

[Darkshape]

Disagree. I am having excellent results with stealth game play against Illuminate.

[☼Solaire Of Astora☼]

I'm not personally into the whole stealth thing but I can respect it, even if I disagree with it since I just PURGE THE UNCLEAN IN HOLY FIRE! instead

Skill Issue, you just don't know how to use the radar the correct way while moving around.
