The Stealth Meter warns you before AI spots you.
How it works
As an AI soldier starts to notice you, an audio cue plays and a HUD indicator fills, going from white to yellow to orange. If it completes, you have been spotted and the fight starts.
How to react
- Break line of sight. Step behind cover the moment the meter starts.
- Go prone in grass or low cover.
- Back off rather than pushing through a patrol.
Why it matters
Getting spotted raises the area’s threat level and brings reinforcements. Staying hidden keeps the Hostiles Kill Count low and the area quiet. The Warfighter Trait Viper Sense hides you from thermal optics and AI targeting.
