However, this stealth often turns out to be close to useless, for the following reasons: As for invisible units, they aren't of any concern when playing stealthy, since they aren't cloaked unless attacking you and even then (specifically boss battles) they can be seen due to light refraction around their bodies.Many Role Playing Games that are mainly based on combat also have a "stealth" mechanic that can ostensibly be used to get past monsters without fighting, thus enabling another choice of strategy. Cones of vision can be useful, but enemy vision can be judged using only the radar system. In the long run however, it all depends on the play style. The usefulness of this augmentation shows later down the tree, with the cones of vision (indicating enemy vision cones on the radar) and especially the Mark & Track system, allowing the player to track targets (even if while they're invisible). It does, however, include a counter, indicating the time until the alarmed status of enemies expire, which may help non-stealth players. Similarly, the Last Known Position system will also not be used by stealth players. Especially at the first level, which only tracks how much sound you are making, which is useless since most stealth players will move either crouched or from cover to cover. At first it can seem a pretty low-priority augmentation as opposed to the Icarus Landing System or other augmentations. One of the augmentations that the player has to manually unlock at the cost of 2 praxis points. However, only users who have invested the time and effort getting familiar with this feature will be able to unlock its full potential. Info: The mark and track software is ultimately able to follow up to 7 targets at once.Use: Displays an icon over up to seven targets, so they can be easily tracked.Upgrade Requirement: Mark and Track 2.0.Marked targets can also be unmarked, in order to free up marking slots. Info: More experienced users will be able to track up to 5 targets.Use: Displays an icon over up to five targets, so they can be easily tracked.Upgrade Requirement: Mark and Track 1.0.This basic version can track up to 3 targets simultaneously. An icon appears in the users field of view, displaying the target's location at all times, making stealth operations that much easier. Info: By tagging targets, the user is able to track their movement up to a range of a 100m.Deactivation: Aim at the tracking icon and hold the Interaction Button.Activation: From a distance, place the reticule over an opponent and hold the Interaction Button to mark him.Use: Displays an icon over up to three targets, so they can be easily tracked.This marker appears only in the user's field of view, via augmented reality, and helps them slip away unnoticed by showing him where the enemy thinks he is. Once an evasion is successful, the on-board software places a marker at the approximate location where enemies are expecting the user to be. Info: This stealth upgrade gets activated upon detection by enemy forces and monitors the opponents' behavior and eye movements in order to determine whether they've lost sight of the user or not.Use: Once detected, displays an icon at the location the enemy last saw you.Upgrade Requirement: Noise Feedback Upgrade.These vision cones appear on the radar display. Info: The enhanced 'Vision Feedback' functionality of the Stealth Monitor allows experienced users to define and track the sight cones of enemy targets (either organic or inorganic).Use: Displays the enemy's cones of vision.This information appears as a pulsating circle radiating from your position on the radar. Info: The enhanced 'Noise Feedback' functionality of the Stealth Monitor gives its user a real-time representation of personally-generated noise levels and their detection range.Use: Displays the range at which the noise you produce travels.Upgrade Requirement: Stealth Enhancer Augmentation.Info: Initially the Stealth Enhancer augmentation only includes an ambient noise feedback indicator, projected directly onto the user's optical display. Use: Displays stealth-related information such as cones of vision, known location and allows to mark and track targets at a distance. The Stealth Enhancer grants the user the ability to increase their perception, displaying stealth-related information such as noise generated by the user, enemy cones of vision, last known location (where enemies saw the user) and lastly a mark and track ability (used to track targets from a distance, even if invisible).
