Stealth in this game is crap
I'm playing this on Ubisoft platform so no whinging from trolls about not owning the game on Steam.

I'm trying to do a Slicer mission where you have to get a code from a Technician at an Imp outpost in the open world. I get there and see plenty of imps around the outpost. I think to myself I'll try to thin them out. I see one imp walking around on his own and I enter some vegetation cover some distance away. I see imps on top of the tower looking in my direction and stand up to see if I'm within their detection range. I'm not.

I then wait for the patrolling imp to come in range and use whistle. He approaches my position and I move back a little more to ambush him but when I hit the melee key to take him down, imps on top of the tower that could not see me when I stood up out of the grass can suddenly see me attacking the imp I'm ambushing. Total, frustrating, BS.

Devs of this game really did screw up stealth and even after updates that have reduced the mission fails for breaking stealth, detection BS like this shows it's still crap. Glad I'm playing this on Ubisoft+ and not bought it, especially at the higher price for this game on Steam.

The devs at Massive has some great level designers, environment attention to detail and great environmental audio programmers but those people on the team are always let down by the mission and gameplay design team creating BS mission experiences like this.

Do yourself a favour and wait until this game hits Bargain Basement prices on Steam because it's sure not worth it at the moment.

I think that this is the mission where you can have Nix pickpocket the code. If I'm correct (There are a lot of missions) there is a blind spot behind some rocks where you can see them but they can't see you.

Just keep sending Nix to steal from the Technician characters who are wandering around.
So far I just had to send Nix to get the item

When a code is on a person and you're supposed to get it, you should send Nix to steal it.

If it's in a computer or at a location, then you need to get Kay to it personally so that she can slice a computer or access a file.

Enemies drop weapons when incapacitated. You don't obtain mission objective codes or materials by knocking them out.
Maybe you just suck at it because it required a small amount of planning and thought. They even made it easier for people like you
