Theory, You are looking though the shield through a rectangular slit. from the front, this would basically look like a baby juggernaught. They think you are one of them.

Confuses their human recognition algorithm obviously

I love it. They can see and shoot at you through mountains but can't see you behind a shield.

I think you saw my reddit post. Noise is your only real issue when using this tech. Vaulting and walking normally might alert them but as long as you are facing them shield up they wont actually know youre there. Also when an enemy alerts, you have a second or two to put your shield up and they go back to a neutral state

This is like that military AI that was trained to identify soldiers on photographs that could be easily fooled by just holding a branch over your head or moving by doing summersaults instead of walking. Cuz that's not what soliders did in the training data so they are not soldiers as far as the AI is concerned

"Where does the metal end and the man begin?"

I remember an article about some top scientists, programmers and engineers had made a robot of the US armed forces and put on a demonstration for the US Marine Core. They challenged some marines to sneak up to it. One marine held up some branches and just walked at it and the robot couldn't see him and 2 marines got in a large cardboard box and crawled toward it, giggling all the way, they touched the robot, turned around and crawled back to the starting line, giggling all the way. The USMC was not impressed and the nerds did not feel good about it. Apparently the bots still haven't figured this out

It's absolutely related to the other bug that prevented you from exiting prone. My guess is after the viper commando update the shield now counts as terrain that can block movement and by extension it can also block vision.

Watch them nerf the Ballistic Shield because of this. Like, yeah obviously this isn't intentional, but if Arrow Head's track record is any indication.

Them making the ballistic shield into a terrain property just so grenades bounce off of it has caused so many things to it lmao

I use the crossbow as a replacement for the grenade pistol atm. So mostly for buildings/bugholes/containers etc. Crossbow + Bushwacker + HMG + Stun Grenades. Makes for quite a fun loadout^^ I think all they did last patch was give the AoE the same penetration als the projectile or something and add the destruction force. I never understood why they nerfed the radius in the first place.

I wonder if this is why the Factory Strider minigun turrets stop firing at the player when they hold up the shield and or are in the mech.

Neat video. Some anecdotes about stealth, in case you continue to do this in the future: Gunships can only see within their respective spotlights. When you aren't in the path of that and aren't making an absurd amount of noise or volume of fire in their vicinity, they won't alert to you or scan for you. You can always safely sprint out of their path before their spotlights hit you, preferable to them catching a glimpse and starting a scan or alert. Crouching isn't perfectly silent. You can still be heard within about 4 meters or so. Crawling, however, is completely silent.

Exploding crossbow is good. From what ive heard though they buffed the front of the scout striders to have a little more explosive resistance. Ive seen the AC take 5 shots to kill one.

@1.21jiggawatts2

I’ve been using the explosive crossbow for the bots and I found how to take them out in 2 or sometimes 1 hit from the front. Aim for the little slit that the bot is looking for. You don’t have to hit it, but if the explosion is near it, I guess it can travel through the slit and damage the bot driver.

This is like some Terminator 1 future scene where Kyle was kreeping in the rubble to avoid HK hunters and Terminators so cool

It would be interesting to see a run using this without killing a single bot or without a single dropship. The true stealth no alarms run.

"Huh that's a weird looking automaton...must be a new model."

..the memes on this one is too good.. paint a picture of an atomaton on the sheild.. PERFECT DISGUISE they'll never know

Tried it earlier and it's also super useful against scout striders. They just stop shooting and look for another target giving a shooting window at the pilot. Saved my team a lot of ammo...

Confirmed, Automatons fear average British person

19:20 Geo survey can be stealthed with smoke, but you also need a shield gen decoy. Otherwise they path straight to the objective anyway.

I don't know if you plan on doing another gameplay with this playstyle, but I'd be curious about whether you could use your crossbow or knives to misdirect enemies and draw them away from places, like the terminals. You used to do this in some of your old stealth gameplay, using impact nades to get bots to go one direction while you went the other. I am also curious about if this works on bugs. I'm guessing not since I believe bugs have "scent", which probably circumvents this.

You have to get in a pacifist helldive run before this is patched. Smokes, stuns, EMS, shield. I wonder if you can smoke through an entire extract with the nades and eagles.

@caomhanbasswood8611

6 күн бұрын

You can easily stealth extract, even without smoke. Just call in extract unnoticed and run to the far side of the extract and lie down behind a wall or a rock. Patrols will come to extract but leave after some time when they don't detect a player. Works even without any stealth loadout

Thinking I’m seeing a handy way to gather up some samples.

I don't know how much this effects this but...doesn't that armor have a perk where you are less detectable by enemies?

The crossbow changes were... + Velocity + Stagger - AoE It used to be vaguely decent at killing chaff enemies, but the projectile dropped like a brick and medium enemies shrugged it off. After the changes it became more of a medium killer. All in all I consider that patch as a significant buff to the crossbow, since before it being a mediocre chaff killer that did nothing else of value, was honestly pretty useless. Now that you can hit weakspots accurately and use it at a distance, it's got a far more viable niche as a stealth weapon that can efficiently kill devastators, whilst still being fine for the light bots so long as you're only using it to kill sentries rather than expecting to clear large groups. It's better this way, since we already have the Eruptor and Plasma Punisher for AoE. If we ever get the ability to select our ammo type for weapons, it would be cool though to be able to choose the "old bolts". I feel like most would stick with the new ones after realising just how bad the ballistic arc used to be, but I'm sure some would still enjoy the old derpy crowd control version.

I was thinking this too

Isn’t it because the ballistic shields were manufactured in repurposed automaton factories? The shields still holds a signal that tells the automaton that you’re an ally, so they don’t attack you

20:48 here you were surrounded by bots and assumed you don't have to face them to not be seen but these specific bots are from the group in the middle that followed you. That group over time can loose the ability to do anything but follow and look at you. They indeed knew exactly where you were and just couldn't do anything about it

This is Metal gear solid V level shenanigans

What's up legend.

I believe the exploding crossbow's explosion is negated when shooting water. Hence your troubles around 16:37

That makes sense actually. The shield had an issue where it would prevent you from existing prone while it was on your back. This suggests that the game now thinks of the shield as terrain with a hitbox that impedes movement so it makes sense that it would also block enemy vision from the correct angle.

That's one thing that blows my mind about 95% of players in this game. They don't seem to look around at the start and spot secondary objectives except for spore towers and shrieker towers.

It might be that they gave the knife a bonus to stealth like the armor.

Wearing stealth armor I've full sprinted under a Gunship patrol and they didn't see me. Variables could have been their altitude/distance and atmospheric conditions like fogginess. There was no event going on at the time like a snow storm or dust storm.

That bot grenade 🤣, I want it for 🏈

Yeah, my guess is that they totally can see you - but that as long as you've got that shield in front of your face, it fools their software into thinking you're a robot, too - but that there's maybe something a little "off" about you they can't quite put a finger on. (Until, of course, you betray them by completing a SEAF objective in front of their faces.)

At 33:50 our guy sees the longest input code in the game and doesn't even flinch. Gotta complete the mission.

If their vision is infrared that actually makes sense, they wouldn't be able to see you behind a solid object.

Need to see you 100% a no kill mission

Be really funny if that's basically the shield the heavy devastators have

its hillarious.

Patrol sees something: ⚠️ ALERT! HUMAN BRAIN DETECTED Patrol: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No. The fact that they're doing the scanning animation means he's in range. This is more likely related to the bug that would prevent you from exiting prone with the shield on your back. I'm assuming because the shield has a hitbox that blocks movement it also has a hitbox that block vision.
