Entry
You can grapple enemies who haven't detected you by pressing [key]
You can still move while grappling an enemy, and can choose to perform a lethal [key] or non-lethal [key] Takedown.
The enemy will struggle to free themselves from your grip. If you hold them too long, they will eventually break free. High-level enemies, marked with a , will break free more quickly.
Although some high-level enemies cannot be grappled, you can still perform Takedowns on them while undetected. Using certain abilities and items, as well as cleverly using the environment to your advantage, will help you remain out of sight. Some bosses might require multiple Takedowns to defeat.
Enemies and security systems may notice and react to bodies you leave out in the open. Make sure to dump the bodies in appropriate hiding locations (a dumpster, for example) or otherwise in areas that are not easily visible to enemies.
Hold [key] to pick up a body, then press [key] to dump it.
To dump a body in an appropriate container, approach it while holding the body and press [key]. If you perform a Takedown on an enemy directly next to one of these containers, you will hide the body there automatically.
Remember: these containers have limited capacity, and once you've placed a body in one it cannot be removed.
All loot from dumped bodies is automatically dropped to the ground in front of the container.
