The distance at which locations of interest will appear 'has been significantly shortened, which means players will no longer know what's waiting around the corner.Д®xhaustion, hunger and thirst will also come into play. Threats will also no longer display on the compass, unless added by a Recon scope. Positioning and timing are more important than ever and Melee players will need to use block and parry more often to avoid massive damage.

Note that Sleeping removes anywhere from two to all 10 ranks of Adrenaline, depending how long the player spends in bed.Д¬ombat is also more strategic, as both the player and enemies are more powerful. To deal more damage, players can use the new perk 'Adrenaline' but it also 'slows you down and gets you to think about what youвЂ™re walking into.' For every five kills, Adrenaline rank is increased, adding 5% bonus damage for up to an extra 50% damage at the max rank of 10.

Role Playing: Increase the realism of the world and the issues one might face there. Resource Management: Balance out items in the world that may be too easy to acquire or horde, giving players more to consider when planning their current loadout. Then back up those decisions with faster, more brutal fights.Д®xploration: Slow down the pace of the game and encourage players to explore the nooks and crannies of the world. Strategy: Intensify decisions involving when to get into combat versus when to avoid it, and also make you think more about what gear to take into combat.
