[multiple spoiler alert]
Early in the game there's a side mission "Cloak and Daggers" that has a secondary objective, "Remain undetected while in DRB territory." Eventually I gave up and just went in guns-a-blazin', but I'm wondering whether I missed a sneaky entrance.
I found three ways in:
-
The main alley leading into DRB land. The main entrance is protected by a couple of thugs (instant detection). There's some rubble and a concrete pipe immediately to their left that I tried sneaking through, but it was such a frontal entrance that I always triggered somebody's alert.
-
Moving down the street to the left (left as I face the alley) I come to some stairs in an alley that take me to a rooftop with sneaky access to the DRB zone, but requiring a 15' jump across to a DRB fire escape. With leg augs I'm sure I could make that jump, but without them I kept splatting in the alley below. Rather than jumping I tried leaving the roof by walking along some vent-work to the left, but could never make it from the vents onto the DRB fire escape.
-
Still further left down the main street is a door that leads to a tunnel with DRB access. It's blocked by large crates, and eventually I bought the Lifting aug to get through this way, but there are a couple of thugs here that always detected me.
Am I missing another way in? Or can I get in undetected through one of these entrances without the leg augs?
Best Answer
You can be detected by these people and still get the reward for being sneaky. As long as they don't go Hostile, you're fine.
You can make this jump without the leg aug, but you need the Punch Through Walls aug to go this way. This also involves snapping a guy's neck and will ruin a pacifist playthrough. Also throwing a grenade at the wall works, and only knocks the guy unconscious., or you could just use the ventilation ducts attached to the wall...
As before, if they don't go Hostile, you are fine.
The game will tell you if you fail the sneaky objective.
