Issue: Invisible NPCs revealing solo players’ positions

[grave jolt]

If I’m playing solo and I’m near a team of three, I often stay still to avoid being detected. But it’s unacceptable that an invisible NPC suddenly appears right behind me just to reveal my position and get me spotted by other players, even when I’m completely motionless!
It really feels like the game intentionally spawns this creature when someone is camping, and that’s just wrong. This mechanic should absolutely be removed.
PLEASEEEEE!!!!!

They are meant to punish camping

[grave jolt]

We’re not playing Call of Duty here — camping in an extraction shooter is a legitimate playstyle.
If I’m just 10 meters away from a 3-man team, carrying valuable loot, it’s perfectly reasonable to stay still and wait for them to leave.
But having an invisible enemy suddenly spawn behind me and reveal my position, causing me to get killed by that team, doesn’t feel fair at all.

You can melee, you can run away. Skill issue. That's the whole point of stalking mob

Also team has 3x chance to get spooked by invincible since well, there is 3 of them

The timer on the invisible spawn was horrible before. It might be changed a bit now, hopefully, all these stealth changes are hard to spot.

thats the nature of this game. very hard pve. i had many many moments where i died during pvp because bots kept interrupting me

[hollow sierra]

Yes but even staying to long in a map square causes that
For exampleheadquarters just randomly spawn them in even when you are moved half over the map

this is not call of duty or any of that arena run and gun game, you cant expect us to run around like a headless chicken all the time, then people ask why people dont play pvp? this is why . those invisible ruins the game

[lavish topaz]

Ehh, I don't think I've ever had an issue like this because crouch walking is quiet enough to keep moving. I also think it was toned back at some point to harder focus afk players for a long time.

[quick cave]

It was horrible before, since the "anti-camping" invisibles did not care if you had moved. You could, literally, run 300m in a half-circle for a flank, then take a moment to scope the enemy and without fail have one spawn behind you and ruin the entire pvp encounter.

i hope they fixed it, i dont know because i stopped playing since

[quaint prawn]

There is nothing to fix

They are ment to punish campers. It's a very good mechanic that works as intended.

[split knoll]

Campers ruin PvP.

@split knollif you wanna run around like a headless chicken like the influencers like be my guest

[split knoll]

Apparently strategic and careful movement = "running like headless chicken"

Which is ironic since it require more braincells than sitting motionless and camping, ruining the game for yourself and others
