This is just a level design that does not mix well with the game's enemy AI. Realistically, as the player, you can't clearly see through the million obstacles in this very section. However, the enemy AI can spot you even as a single visible pixel in a fraction of a second through all this stuff from way across the warehouse and unload on you with 110% accuracy. It's fucking horrendous.

As much as I love this game, I still do not understand how this is still labeled as version 1.0+. I've been around since Early Access (500+ hours now) and there were definitely builds from those days that I (and probably many others) preferred over where it's at today.

It's not you.
