The Detection Meter Explained: Getting Detected While Sneak Attacks won't multiply with your Critical Hit Multiplier, Crits can be used to ensure that a sneak attack will land and make the damage reliable when you need it to be and have a poor chance to hit. Sneak Attacks aren't just for gun users - Players who build up a high level of sneak skill and use melee weapons can do incredible things with the Blitz Perk in the Agility tree - it lets them engage at great distances - between that of a sniper rifle and handgun, while the Ninja Perk will increase the Sneak Attack damage for both guns and melee users - heavily favoring Melee because of how hard it's supposed to be to sneak up close with a super-sledge. Your results may vary, and my memory may be tained. I have seen a sneak attack occur at red, and now theorize that it has to be on its way back to hidden in order for the sneak attack to work at that point, or else that one opponent has called off their search. You're guaranteed to do double damage if you hit when the Stealth indicator is still green. Sneak attacks deal double damage to enemies, but only if they haven't detected you. Sneak attacks and critical hits stack for massive damage, so you can save these for super-long range kills on powerful enemies - or just to sofen up a tough one.

The game's AI will never catch you, though this method can take some time and it's not as useful when you're inside a building. You may want to avoid battles, or pick off enemies one by one from a distance and be a sneaky sniper. You can use this to pickpocket enemies when behind them, steal items lying around without anyone noticing (just don't make noise!). When you're crouched, you'll see 'Hidden'. What causes them to detect you and the way the meter works seems to be a point of interest for new players, so I'll explain how some of this works to help you be a bit more successful.

In all of these circumstances, you are able to move closer to your effective range before the enemy detects you.
