B&E, cops, and the wanted list

[Alexandrea]

I've been seeing a lot of new people at B&E locations with wounds from the cops lately AND the same names come up when doing evidence hacks, with some pretty high notoriety numbers.

I just want to be sure that they are getting into trouble deliberately, and not because they don't know the tricks to B&E without killing guards.

If you don't already know you might find it helpful to follow these steps
BEFORE you B&E.

Change the battle tactics (there is even a way to 'set' different tactic sets to expedite this [yes it costs karma]) to these settings; 'At which point do you attempt to flee from NPCs?' = 'As soon as possible' 'When an enemy attempts to flee...' = 'Let them go' Set Powers to NEVER use, AND unequip all weapons.

also DO use the gizmos, the smoke bombs, knockout bombs, etc. ...all will help you stay under the radar and off the wanted list. (where some of you will be ending up as soon as you hit the level up minimum)


anyone who wants any help (I have lots of other B&E tips, it's my 'thing' lol) or needs the gizmos? Just send me a message.

One of the things I want to do this month is have a tutorial popup the first time newbies try something like a B&E, and it will be more detailed than the old tutorial advice in the tutorial hub area (but still just like one page or two of info). One of the things I'll be sure to do is mention that you should avoid guards, and if caught then try to run if you're concerned about police bounties.

Great idea!

If there's anything you need from me, just give me a poke. I am trying to get back into things. Again. >.>

reminder to anyone having trouble with killing in the b&e mini-games; change those battle tactics and enquip all weapons BEFORE you go into a b&e building.

and smoke bombs are your friends <3
