Patrol Observation
Before entering any new area, take time to observe enemy patrol patterns. Note their routes, their stopping points, and how long they stay in certain areas. This allows you to predict their movements and plan your approach or takedown. Use your optic cable extensively.
Investigation & Alert States
Understand the enemy's alert states. A yellow indicator means they're suspicious; a red indicator means they've detected you. If an enemy is suspicious, they will often investigate the source of the disturbance. Use this to your advantage by creating a distraction and then ambushing them when they come to investigate. Hide bodies to prevent further alerts.
Interrogation Benefits
Grabbing and interrogating enemies can provide valuable information, such as keypad codes, safe combinations, or the location of objectives. This often saves you time and prevents unnecessary hacking. Always interrogate before knocking out or killing an enemy.
