Next I ran these same actions with the Stealth Perk only, then with the Escape Artist perk only, then again with the Chinese Stealth Suit only. I also walked back and forth in front of it to see when Caution and Danger would trigger. I stood and triggered the turret, and crouched to try to break stealth. I took note of how big my Hidden indicator was. The second set I went behind the turret, outside of its line of sight.įor the visual test, I first stood naked and without Stealth or Escape Artist equipped. The first set of tests I did in front of the turret.
I wanted a stationary enemy with a blind spot behind them, and isolated so as to not confuse my Hidden rating with another enemy’s line of sight. I did this by going to Sugar Grove and clearing out enemies in the lobby, leaving only the turret overlooking reception. Second, I did the same thing but attempting to isolate the sound component of stealth. First, I looked at how the Stealth perk, Escape Artist perk, the Chinese Stealth Suit, and Power Armor stealth boy mod affect visual detection. In essence I ran a few very simple, somewhat flawed tests in two scenarios. I know Escape Artist makes you go invisible for a moment when it activates, so I wondered if the Stealth Boy mod for PA has the same effect. However, when I looked at a list of perks not compatible with power armor on the Fandom wiki, I noticed Sneak wasn’t included, and instead Escape Artist was – something I thought WAS compatible with PA. I had also heard that when you put on PA it negates your stealth perk card if you have it equipped.
It seems really useless, considering how loud armor is. Some background, I’m intrigued by the stealth boy mod for power armor. Really, I’m hoping this helps me find people who know Fallout 4 / Fallout 76 mechanics much more thoroughly than I do. A BIG caveat – I’m not a theory crafter in any serious sense of the word, and I don’t know anything about modding, which I suspect would have been a big help if I did. So, I ran my own experiment and wanted to report the results.
Stealth is a very complicated stat in Fallout, I’m noticing, and I’ve searched around for detailed, quantitative breakdowns of the stealth system to no avail. You may have noticed my other recent post asking for help with stealth boy power armor mod mechanics.
