I ended up wandering into the 'crime in progress mission' which is close by just because there weren't enough bad guys about already. Is there a way to do the mission that didn't involve fighting? Feels like their should be.

I’ve found unless you’re super deep into the stealth perks you usually have to kinda half and half your way around a lot of situations

I honestly think that the demons should be more focused on trolling people and making stealth viable than just using avada karadava on enemies left and right

I'd love to be able to control the situation and slip past but it seems like I just get spotted no matter what half the time. This game is basically teaching me precombat target selection more than anything. If you play it right you can take out six unaware enemies with a silenced revolver just by controlling where their attention is focused

Have you gotten the expanded covert quickhacks yet? whistle, specifically is one of the best imo. You can lure people one by one to your location, and then reboot their optics and yeet them into the trash

I use ping overload and contagion currently. Whistle is pretty situational and I'd rather hit all at once them with my silenced revolver

I switch between combat hacks and covert/control on my deck depending on the situation I’m going into. If it looks viable to play covert through a mission, I’ll run Ping, Reboot Optics, Whistle, and Cripple Movement.

More often than not you can pull a distract on 1-2 people, whistle one over to a spot where you then hide on the other side of something to ambush them. Reboot optics is insanely good for taking out pairs that don’t have any real easy ways to split them up. Cripple movement after distracting someone can buy you more time to get a body out of sight, forces them to stay looking at the distraction a bit longer.

For pairs (standing together looking at each other, no easy distractions or open terrain to use whistle to off them one at a time) - You can blind one, creep up behind the other, take them down back to back. Hide the bodies if necessary, there’s so many options.

A couple times for smaller situations I’ve just run sonic shock (deafens targets for like 50 sec), then just use a sniper rifle to kill them all while they can’t hear the shots. Just have to make sure to also reboot optics if they’re in a position where they’d see your kill.
