High Alert
Perk · Multiplayer
Vision pulses when spotted by an enemy player outside of view. It gives a visual warning when spotted from outside your view. Guide suggestion: use it as a cue for cover and reassessment rather than a rush.
What it does
Your vision pulses when an enemy player spots you from outside your view.
Why it helps
- You learn an unseen enemy has spotted you, so you can get to cover.
- It warns you about angles you weren't watching, especially behind you or to the side.
When to use it
Pick it if you keep dying to angles you can't see, or you hold one spot for a long time.

Use cases
- Cross an area with several sightlines; identify nearby cover.
- Cover an objective while a flank behind you is possible.
- Relocate after a warning rather than repeat a peek.
Tips
- Choose cover before crossing.
- Check the new angle with a teammate.
- Remember Cold-Blooded when interpreting no warning.
Common mistakes
- Assuming no pulse means safety.
- Turning in the open without cover.
- Treating the warning as an exact location for every enemy.
