Stealth Fundamentals for the New AI

The reworked AI reportedly reacts to silhouettes, sound, and missing patrol members. That makes stealth a game of patience and information, not luck.

The undetected loop

1. Scout the full patrol loop before you move — never act on the first opening.
2. Stay out of direct light cones; the new AI reacts to silhouettes.
3. Move during ambient noise spikes to mask your footsteps.
4. Take down isolated targets and hide the evidence immediately.
5. Have an exit planned before you commit to the entry.

Patience is a weapon

Most detections come from moving too soon. Watch one more loop than feels necessary — the gap you need almost always appears.
