Stealth Build Playstyle
Stealth is an unconventional stylefor completing the main objectives in the game.
Stealth build will not work on Eradicate mission types that require eliminating a certain number of Terminids or Automatons.
You willsee an hour, minute, and seconds timer whenever you scan a mission.
Foes always go into investigative mode if you make too much noise or get into the line of sight.
TheLAS-1 Scorcher is the best choice for the stealth playstyle,as the weaponcomes with explosive impact.
Since each plasma round deals explosive damage, the weak spots of foes consistently get hit.
This is also whymost light-armored enemies are killed instantlyusing the LAS-1 Scorcher.
Avoiding patrols should be done at all costs.
What Are The Best Stratagems For A Stealth Build?
This becomes possible by using smoke to your advantage.
Orbital EMS Strike
TheOrbital EMS Strike ceases enemy movementand renders them useless.
This stratagem is anarea-wiping tool, especially if the enemies are in close proximityto each other.
You must be aggressive while playing missions like Purge Hatcherieson the Terminid faction and theSabotage Airbaseon the Automaton faction.
This is where the Orbital Laser stratagem comes in.
Aperfect throw at the center of the Automaton Airbasewillannihilate the shipsstationed there.
The stratagem will make quick work of the crowd and eliminate all threats quickly.
Eagle Airstrike
Eagle Airstrikeshould be the last resortwhen clearing an objective location.
You must alsoreserve this stratagem for the main objectivesand not waste on side missions during an operation.
The best time to use Eagle Airstrike is while playing Blitz missions.
Most of theAutomaton Fabricators are lined up adjacentto each other.
This is why Eagle Airstrike is a must-have stratagem for stealth build playstyle.
Eagle Airstrike always lands perpendicular to where you throw the stratagem.
Loadout Choices
Plasma weapons tend to make much less noisethan regular munition round guns.
This weapon is especiallyuseful to one-shot light-armored enemies.
Besides being offensive while infiltrating the main objectives zone, you might alsouse G-3 Smoke to mask your presence.
This will stop enemies from detecting you, even if they are standing very close.
It can stop causing more heat and allows you to complete the main story objective easily.
Armor Choice: SC-34 Infiltrator
Armor choice is the most important element of the stealth build.
That is becausethere are noise levels each armor punch in makes.
Theheavy armor is the easiest to detectby enemies, and themedium has reduced detection.
However, thelight armor with the highest Speed and Stamina Regeneration stats offers the lowest detection.
Crouching reduces the noise your character makes whenever you are near enemies.
Booster Selection
TheStamina Enhancement boosteris the best pickfor the stealth build in the game.
Whenever you throw offensive stratagems with a red light, all nearbyenemies will automatically be alertedto your position.
You mustbe swift and run awayfrom that spot to maintain stealth.
This requires a lot of stamina and faster stamina regeneration.
This is where you will find the Stamina Enhancement booster useful.
Bring the best loadout and shred Automatons to pieces.
