Sensory Protocol

Sensory Protocol

Class	Relic Perk
Attribute	Relic
Cost	1 Relic point
Levels	1

Sensory Protocol slows the moment V is caught. Being detected while crouched slows time briefly, and a dash or a dodge out of the enemy's line of sight ends the fight before it starts. It is a stealth pick in the Relic tree. It is the answer to a stealth run that has just gone wrong.

Effect

Detection is normally instant and final. The alarm goes up, the camp turns around, and the approach is over.

Here there is a window. Time slows, V has a moment to see where the cover is, and leaving the enemy's view inside that moment exits combat entirely. It runs on a long cooldown, so it is one mistake forgiven rather than all of them.

How to Unlock Sensory Protocol

It is bought with a Relic point. Emergency Cloaking has to be bought first.

Character Builds

The build is a stealth build that works crouched, which is the whole Cool stealth branch.

Buy it once Emergency Cloaking is in place. Gag Order in the Cool tree delays the rest of the camp noticing if V strikes first, so a build with both has two separate answers to being spotted, one by fighting and one by vanishing.

Notes

Gag Order in the Cool tree delays the rest of the camp noticing if V strikes the enemy who spotted them, which is the alternative answer to the same problem.

Crouching is the condition, and the Cool tree is full of reasons to be crouched.
