The tools that let you control a fight before it starts.
Pinging (tagging)
Look at an enemy and press T to mark it. A marker floats over its head, and your newest ping shows the distance in metres. Pings stick to the edge of the screen when the target is off-screen, and they show on the minimap. You can hold up to 10 pings; tag an 11th and the oldest one drops off.
In Co-op Multiplayer, everyone sees everyone's pings, with the name of whoever made them.
Stealth kills
Sneak up on an unaware guard and use the interact prompt to take them down quietly. A takedown can still be heard within 8 m, so check who's nearby first, and drag your victims out of sight. If another guard finds the body, they'll come searching.
Distractions
- Throwable Rock (G): makes a noise where it lands that pulls nearby guards over to investigate.
- Goose Cage: let a goose loose and it goes after enemies, honking loudly.
Lights
Shoot out floodlights and wall lights to make yourself harder to see. See Detection & Visibility.
Night vision
Night Vision Goggles let you work in full darkness, and guards are less likely to try blinding you with a flashlight while you're wearing them.
