Weapon Modification Impact
Equip a suppressor on a rifle and test a stealth run, then replace it with a laser sight for a direct assault. Record differences in detection and accuracy.
- Reserve Bullet Time for high‑risk fights to maximize its benefit.
- Combine Bullet Time with precise aiming for efficient takedowns.

AI Behavior Observation
Engage enemies and watch how they seek cover, coordinate tactics, and call for backup. Vary your approach to see which actions provoke the strongest AI response.
