Okay, did you already hack the captain's computer and the random third floor guys?name_here wrote:I screwed up the sweet talking.
Current situation: I'm on the second floor, every guard on the second floor is incapacitated, all bodies on higher floors are hidden. I have no goddamn idea how to get past the gigantic room of police officers in front of computers without getting noticed.
I have been trying jumping down and sprinting to the elevator, but then there's like six guys on the morgue level and no easy way to pick them off one by one. Now, my level-3 dermal armor and general FPS deadeye aim would make slaughtering the lot of them trivial, but I am trying to get through this without doing that.
If so, leave by the roof, and go back in through the Sewers, lead you right to the morgue with like two people at most in the way.
I'm not talking about weapons. There are plenty of reasons you might want to use a pistol, or a combat rifle, or the sniper if you don't care about alarms or have the preorder silenced one. Not to mention the revolver being pretty good in boss fights if you don't have the Typhoon and have been upgrading it.Guyr Adamantine wrote:The thing is, stunned targets can be woken up by an ally. Dead ones can't. Personally, I mostly stuck with non-lethal weapons, if only because all of them are silenced.
What I'm talking about is lethal takedowns. Lethal takedowns have the same range as non lethal ones, which is adjacent.
Since that is the case either:
1) Someone sees you do the takedown, and you are now in a firefight, and you will win that firefight, and no one will wake up your hapless friend because they don't do that while firefighting.
2) No one sees the takedown, and you have time to drag the body to hiding before anyone will find that guy.
Added reason you will never lethal takedown is that if you are ever in a situation in which you are okay with someone finding a dead body, you will use the pistol. Because one pistol shot to the head kills anyone in the game except boss fights. The silenced pistol with quantum tunneling and laser sight (so, before you even enter Derelict Row) takes a single shot to the head, to kill any enemy, can do it from impressive range, and does it quieter than a lethal takedown.
