Vehicle Stealth Certification Icon

Vehicle Stealth is a defense slot upgrade available to all standard vehicles except the Corsair and Colossus. It is unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points.

While equipped, vehicle stealth increases the time that lock-on weaponry such as the NS Annihilator require to lock onto the vehicle. It also reduces the range that the vehicle will be auto detected on the minimap of hostile players, based on the rank of the upgrade, and at rank 4, the vehicle will not be auto-detected at any range.

For aircraft, Vehicle Stealth will additionally decrease the range at which they are auto detected by the Engagement Radars from Dervishes, empire specific fighters and Lightnings. This effect is more powerful for the Valkyrie.

Vehicle stealth has no effect on Spotting, and any vehicles with this upgrade will still be revealed for ten seconds on the minimap and in the world when spotted as normal, including on Engagement Radars where appropriate.

This module is active at all times.

Stealth Cloaking Module[]

Stealth Cloaking Module is a defense slot upgrade available to the Sunderer. It is unlocked using Certification Points, as the 5th rank of the Vehicle Stealth defense slot upgrade.

While equipped, the stealth cloaking module increases the time that lock-on weaponry such as the NS Annihilator require to lock onto the vehicle by 1 second. It also prevents the vehicle from being auto detected on the minimap of hostile players.

Additionally, the module grants the Sunderer a one-health 'shield' when it is deployed into a Sunderer Advanced Mobile Station. While this shield is active, the Sunderer projects a bubble of a ten meter radius around itself that fully cloaks the vehicle and all nearby allied infantry. Allied infantry remain cloaked until they use any equipment or leave the bubble, and enemy infantry that enter the bubble will brightly glow their faction's color.

The bubble stays active as long as the Sunderer is deployed until the shield is broken or one of the vehicle's guns are fired. The bubble regenerates 4 seconds after being interrupted.

This module's lock-on time and auto detection effects are always active.

History[]

December 13, 2017 Hotfix

  • ESF/Liberator/Galaxy
    • For these vehicles, the Stealth defensive certification will reduce the range Engagement Radar can detect the vehicle by 100m/200m/300m/400m.
  • Valkyrie
    • For the Valkyrie specifically, the Stealth defensive certification will reduce the range Engagement Radar can detect the vehicle by 150m/250m/350m/450m.

Dev Note: Reducing the range of stealth's effectiveness versus Engagement Radar is intended to help promote target tracking while engaged with a target, while still allowing ambush playstyles to remain effective
