Yeah that ‘crouch while running’ is a game changer.ya I thought about it and it might be too congested...I like being able to roam a little bit and be left alone...I just mopped up too dudes...both lvl 19...I’m lvl 6...that crouching tip to go off radar you fave is a gem...I wasn’t even tryna fuck w/ anybody but this one dude tried to grief me...killed me 2x in armadillo and I ran off cuz I wanted to get the free bonus shit...after I got my things I caught him and his dude in saint denis...they’re literally riding away from me right now lmao
I was messing it up at first. I kept tapping the X button while crouching & it made me stand up straight every so often. Then I learned that all I have to do is crouch first, then just hold X... and I will run for a mad long period of time in the crouch position. Granted, I don’t run as fast as if I was standing upright, but the benefit of going ‘stealth mode’ until I reach a good spot to reach cover & hide... definitely outweighs the lack of speed.
And the only way someone can see you while crouch running... is if you are directly in their line of sight.
I was in Saint Denis earlier, trying to reach the Fast Travel post. And there was like 10-15 different griefers near it, just having a wild melee. Killing everyone in sight. So I crouched down from about 2 blocks away... cut thru some back alleys.... and ran & hid in some TALL dense bushes right around the corner from where the big fight was happening. And for like almost 5 minutes... NOBODY spotted me.
People were riding horses & running right past me in the street... having shootouts.... and fistfights right in front of me. Then they would take off running. Even a posse leader used a cart for cover (right in front of me) while he was in a shootout with 2 other dudes at the other end of the block. When he finished, he dipped right past me.
The only way I got discovered was when 2 guys had a fistfight right in front of me & it spilled into the bushes I was hiding in. I already had my knife out, so I just tackled & stabbed one guy in the chest, while the other was fumbling to pull out his pistol & i stabbed him too & took off running for the Fast Travel post & jetted out of there all the way to Strawberry, in a heartbeat.
