General / Re: How do all those 3 con 3 per builds survive stealthed enemies jumping them?

Flares are nice, also if you have 20 pts in intimidation, you can pick Yell. Some Stalker encounters are straight up F5-F9 to pin point the locations though through the use of flare and laying traps beforehand. 3 per and 3 con is completely okay on dominating, you get used to it

I see. I get that it's playable, but I can't stand this level of metagaming and savescumming.

Shame there's no "immersive" alternative :\

I've yet to play DOMINATING on a build with low PER, but even my max PER sniper character, that had the best possible detection with Paranoia + goggles and consumables, got reliably ambushed by crawlers (that stopped at a certain point) and death stalkers and for even normal stealthed humanoids I had to be very careful and give myself some time to detect them.

I also remember my first ever playthrough on normal a while ago, and I was constantly getting ambushed and hat to reload. I imagine on DOMINATING a 3 con build getting ambushed by a knife-wielding stealthy mcstealthface will get oneshot.

Do these builds just assume you are going to abuse F5+F9 and metagame to win or what? I understand a tin-can doesn't give a shit if they get jumped but everyone else?
