Emergency Cloaking

Emergency Cloaking

Class	Relic Perk
Attribute	Relic
Levels	1

Emergency Cloaking lets V disappear out of a fight. Turning on optical camo during combat makes enemies lose track of V, which gives a chance to break away entirely. It is the stealth pick of the Relic tree. It is the only reliable way to leave a fight that has gone wrong.

Effect

Optical camo normally hides V without resetting the enemy's attention. They keep firing at where V was and the fight continues.

With this perk the camo breaks the contact. Enemies lose the track, and if V uses the moment well the fight can be exited and started again on better terms. The camo has to be in the combat gadget slot for any of it to work.

How to Unlock Emergency Cloaking

It is bought with Relic points and nothing in the tree has to be bought ahead of it.

Character Builds

The build is a stealth build with optical camo in the combat gadget slot, which the perk requires rather than suggests.

Buy it with the earlier Relic points, then Sensory Protocol, which is bought from it. Vanishing Act in the Cool tree keeps the same camo running while V moves, so a build with both has camo for crossing ground and camo for leaving a fight.

Notes

Sensory Protocol is bought from it and gives V a second escape, triggered by being spotted while crouched.

Vanishing Act in the Cool tree makes the same camo switch itself on while V is moving.
