Better Stealth

Retune how Dishonored 1 hunts you without changing damage, deaths, mission objectives, or the visible mission-stat counters.

Choose gentler searches, blind psychic picks, calmer attacks and a wider lean directly from the in-game MODS menu.

Requirements

• []Dishonored 1 on Steam, buildid 8335061[/]

  []Dishonored Mod Loader 1. 3. 7 or newer[/]

Features

• []Exact live values applied through the pause-menu MODS interface[/]

  []Five options: Search time, Psychic chance, Crumb spacing, Attack delay, Lean angle[/]

  []Every option defaults to vanilla and applies reversibly at any time[/]

  []Off switch for search time and psychic chance[/]

  []Persistent settings through Dishonored Mod Loader[/]

  []No edited game packages, replaced config files, or altered damage types[/]

Options

Search time

How long enemies keep searching after losing you. Off ends searches the moment they begin, Shorter halves the vanilla duration, Longer doubles it.

Psychic chance

How often guards pick a search point aimed at your real position instead of a random one. Off removes those picks entirely, Reduced halves them.

Crumb spacing

How densely guards sweep an area while searching. Sparse thins the search out, Dense tightens it.

Attack delay

How long enemies hesitate before their short attacks. Calm doubles the vanilla delay, Aggressive halves it.

Lean

How far Corvo leans out of cover, in degrees from 15 to 20. Vanilla is 15. Re-lean after changing it so the new angle takes hold.
