Knives Out: Some more tips

Utilize crouching and sprinting!

You can move while crouched, and even though you’re slower it’s much more safer. Try to make it a habit of crouching and exploring, especially when you’re looting a house. There are windows everywhere and there could be a person watching a window waiting for someone to fall right into their trap. Stay under windows to keep yourself out of view.

When you’re running from a town to another city, you’re going to be right out in the open for any prying eyes to swoop down on you. Tapping the running guy icon next to the minimap will make your character sprint. Try to stay out of open fields as much as you can, and when you do have to run through them, sprint to the nearest cover you can see.

You can even go prone, and this is more useful than it sounds. Going prone in the grass almost covers you completely, but don’t do this if you’re already under fire; you’ll just make yourself a sitting duck.

Use a car to get around easier!

Occasionally you’ll find an abandoned car that you can drive provided you have the gas for it. Gas can be randomly found just like any other item, but it’s pretty rare. Cars have the advantage of getting you to places faster, but you will attract a LOT of attention. Cars are naturally noisy and very easy to spot. People can shoot you through the windows too, so be careful!
