Quick notes
- Look before opening a door. The optic cable lets Sam inspect the other side of a suitable door.
- Keep scouting and incapacitation distinct. Sticky cameras reveal remote areas; sticky shockers and ring airfoil rounds have different guard-control roles.
- Use vision modes for different information. Night vision makes dark surroundings readable.
- Choose light and camera tools carefully. Shooting a light can create darkness but also makes a disturbance.
Useful tip
Shooting a light can create darkness but also makes a disturbance.
