Wanted System

Your "wanted level" is between 1 and 5. Your current level is indicated in the top right with up to 5 stars.

If your wanted level is 2 or above, you will be considered hostile and the OF will shoot at you.

If you are physically seen (by line of sight, not sound) as a threat you will receive an instant 2 Star wanted level. This includes:

• Open carrying a weapon of any kind
• Non-fatally wounding anyone
• Non-fatally colliding with anyone in a vehicle
• Wearing the uniform of an enemy
• Looting a body
• Going too close to an OF Base or FOB

If you kill anyone while physically seen you will recieve a 3 star wanted level. All nearby units will be notified of your position.

If you are seen in an armed vehicle you will recieve a 4 star wanted level. This may cause AT teams to be dispatched towards you.

If you are seen flying an armed helicopter or plane you will recieve a 5 star wanted level. This may cause AA or air assets to be dispatched.

When you are no longer seen by OF soldiers or radar, your wanted level will drop by 1 every x seconds (determined by difficulty level) until it reaches 1 star. While at 1 star if you are seen again it will go back to 2 stars (or 4 if you are in an armed vehicle, or 5 if you are in an aircraft). At 1 star you have some options to become completely unwanted again:

• Hide and wait a while (time determined by difficulty level)
• Change your clothes

Stealth

By stealing OF uniforms and wearing them you can openly carry a weapon or enter an OF Base/FOB as long as you keep your distance from any OF soldiers (distance determined by difficulty level). Weather conditions and nighttime will increase this distance. If you get too close you will get a 3 star wanted level. Shooting at them or running them over will get you 4 stars.

Notoriety

Your Notoriety will increase every time you are wanted, and go down passively. When high you need to keep a larger distance when wearing OF uniforms. When very high you will become wanted for doing absolutely nothing, requiring you to "lay low" for a while to get it back down.
