Loadout philosophy

This loadout is built to keep Heat as close to zero as possible for contracts where extraction speed matters more than loot volume.

The loadout

This combination trades firepower for information and mobility.

  • Primary: suppressed SMG, used only as a last resort.
  • Utility: motion sensor, thrown ahead at intersections to reveal patrol positions before you commit to a path.
  • Gadget: grapple hook, for skipping ground-level patrol loops entirely via rooftops where the map allows it.
  • Perk: Soft Step, which further reduces the Alert-meter gain from movement noise.
