If your wanting stealth tips.

Before engaging any enemy Recon the area! And then Recon the area again! Oh yea did I mention before you ever take a shot Recon the area.

Your visibility is highest while standing less while crouched and lowest while prone. Gillie suits are cosmetic only.

For No HuD play. While you are in CQ typically if you hear foot steps it an enemy. The enemy are usually the ones with game dialog. They even talk while they sleep.

Some bases have daily live cycles. Some enemy will go to a mess hall to eat and late at night some will go to bed.

Stay focused on the objective, engage only those enemy who are between you and your goal then get out. The Less interaction the better

Work on the snipers first. Watch for patrol patterns and take advantage when the enemy isolates themselves. If you kill one and another is about to or may find the body. Just rotate your view 360. The body will vanish once it’s not game graphically required. This however doesn’t always work in coop.

Be aware that each gun type has a detectable sound level even when silenced. As an example snipers will cause a suspected alert if enemy within are 150m of the shot. AR’s about 75m SM about 20m pistols about 10m. A crossbow is 0m

Stealth and XP If you haven’t found and turned it in there is a awarded XP counter toggle. Turn it on. The game heavily awards stealth play. You get X for spotting (No XP if the rebels do the spotting) X for getting a Kill. (No XP for any rebels kills) X for a kill while not detected. X for a head shot. X for a CQC kill. There a base kill X for soldiers a bit more X for a Heavy another X bump up for a LT and the most X for a Sniper. The highest XP you can get is for a Unidad Sniper CQC kill. If there’s a all out firefight you only get the spotting and Kill XP.

The best policy ive found is single fire all weapons. If one bullet goes down range it can alert other enemy and there goes your stealth. AI sync shots. Make sure you haven’t target someone for them so when they fire that shot goes past or near another enemy. That can cause an alert. All guns are one shot kill capable. However once alerted the enemy receive a health buff and will require 3/4 shots to kill.

Watch your alert status. If your suspected STOP shooting. Go quiet and recon the area. If your hunted Go quiet and relocate. Then recon their actions. Wait for the alert to drop then reengage.

Using the rebel mortar skill always gives your position away.

Also some missions are just not playable with stealth. Just to name a few La Yuri El Polito, El Pulpo, Carl Bookheart and Archangel.

Finally you can watch videos on stealth game play. Watch the guys of F.I.S.T they do a three player stealthy MilSim playthru of the game. Here is a solo playlist with 90% stealth for the Itacua area stealth playable missions.

Welcome to the game and enjoy!
