Quick question on stealth. I’ve seen some people who claimed that if you crouch while in stealth, AND you move, you remain invisible.
Yet, ever match I tried this, the first thing that happened was a bag of bullets to the face. Is this an actual mechanic? Is it bound to classes?
Or is this just a case of good FT spotting?
All I’ve heard is that if you are completely still.
Never heard about still being invisible while crouch-walking
Its just when totally still. Although I think when you crouch move its less obvious, depends where you’re standing. (i.e on a building you’ll stand out more).
Crouching is not needed to turn completely invisible. It takes a second or 2 to go completely invisible and any sound you make (switching weapons, predator clicking) are giveaways that you are still around and the sound really gives away your rough location. Any movement will reveal you although you can still look around and aim with your bow and stay invisible.
Another big giveaway that you went invisible is that all of a sudden your big thunderous footsteps stop. You either leaped away or stood still to go invisible.
you can be standing or crouching, it takes 3 seconds to go fully invisible but you can not walk or crouch walk. You can look and aim bow like the guy above me stated, but that’s about it. I also think you can toss traps as I’ve done it in front of people but I haven’t play tested it so I don’t know if they just didn’t notice me
Trap tossing is a 50-50 for me still when it comes to the cloak. I think they are just listening to the sounds and ‘spot spam’ until they find me. Throwing is a pretty easy to “spot” sound.
If I run hunter I’ve started rolling with Audio decoy and Motion sensors just to mess with them. The infinite cloak build is fun to run with the bow, especially since everyone is just Combistick blitzing with Zerks these days. After waiting 20 min for a match I want it drawn out
Some time ago someone on Illfonic tweeter asked tehm why pred player dose not see the same camouflage effect as the FT players? His question was totally ignored at the time.
A lot of people are still confused regarding how exactly dose the cloak work, when are you invisible and when are you highlighted like a christmas tree. Personnaly I think pred player should see the exact same camo effect as the FT is experiancing, for tactical reasons - pred shuld know when he is invisible and when not
I never looked on the hud, but it might have a badge, Only reason you can’t fully mimic it is for orientation it’s nice to see your own outline, as anyone who remembers the smart disc bug would tell you, not seeing yourself is really annoying, but that’s also just my opinion
@G-bomb82
Some kind of stealth meter would be nice. But I agree that the ability to see your own outline is necessary.
What infinite cloak?
In your perks run: modified reserves, energy cell and light bender. You can stay in cloak the whole match essentially if you don’t use plasma cannon
Modified reserves and light bender give you infinite invisibility actually so you don’t need energy cell. I replace that with long jump to make a good stealth build.
Spot Spamming needs to be gotten rid of. PERIOD.
