✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (165k) shows it's a popular pick for stealth players.
- ESPless means no extra script bloat—runs clean.
- Last updated July 2025, so it's fresh and likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or videos in the description, so you can't preview the indicator before installing.
- No compatibility notes—might conflict with other UI mods, so test carefully.
For stealth players who want a clearer read on enemy awareness without breaking immersion. Skip if you prefer minimal UI or don't play stealth-focused builds.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, it should work with most mod managers—just drop it in your mods folder.
- If you use other UI mods, load this one after them to avoid conflicts.
- Test in a crowded area to see the indicator in action before relying on it in stealth missions.
