Rest of the tips
  • at night enemies have shorter vision but they hear better, if the look in a light source their vision becomes normal
  • if you are standing on a higher ground and there is a horse below you, you can jump on it
  • if you are riding a horse you can make 1 more horse to follow you by left clicking on it
  • When you have a hero aiming at an opponent around a corner, and you can see both a red and a green cross, hold down the Shift key. Press the left mouse button, your hero will dive roll and shoot the target in the sights. Pressing the right mouse button will make you're here roll back again
  • when you are in noise areas(waterfall etc) your actions make less noise
  • some places like paddle make much more noise
  • if you want to kill easier and more efficient do this: for example, you
    want to kill the guy that will come around the corner. Hide around the corner,
    click on the throw knife icon (or press the hotkey) and hold down the left button
    of the mouse. Keep it on the corner or the enemy. When bandito comes in knife
    throwing range, Cooper will throw the knife with a lethal precision (credit ZAndrei)
  • some(maybe all) civilians when sees you will go hide, run or inform guards
  • some enemies they dont leave their spot even if they are alerted(they will move only if you wound them with gun and run) and some of them(alerted or curious) will call another enemy and send him to your position
  • you can shoot on floor to draw attetion (big range)(alerted)
  • you can throw dynamite on floor to draw attetion(huge range)
  • you can drop a body in enemy vision to lure him(curious), very few enemies can resist this, you can make path of dead bodies to lure enemies to a trap(like Cates cards)
