Gameplay[]

To perform stealth kills, the player must be able to remain undetected whilst approaching the enemy be able to hit the enemy before being discovered. To increase the chances of stealth kills, the player will have to decrease their chances of being detected. There are multiple ways of doing this:

  • Wearing Stealth Armor: 10% Each piece, can be removed when damaged.
  • Wearing Rabbit Fur Boots: Adds 20% Stealth permanently whilst equipped.
  • Applying Mud: Doesn't add stealth as a stat though makes the player harder to detect.
  • Traveling without a light source, this includes the lighter and Fire Arrows
  • Hiding in bushes
  • Hiding behind objects
  • Crouching, this also adds a stealth meter to the center HUD
  • Avoid making noises of any kind, running, swinging the weapon, cutting trees, using explosives etc.
