I haven't played RW in a while, do you still get a red envelope when these guys show up to raid you? The idea of invisible enemies sounds terrifying, but I can see how if the game treats them like all other Raiders it wouldn't actually be that big of a deal.
You get a notification about sight stealer shrieks, so you're going to be forewarned. Problem is that once they're on the map, they act like normal raiders who are invisible until they are about to attack somebody.
Seems like it wouldn't be too different from a drop pod raid in that case. Annoying since they don't attack until they're right on top of you.
I'm just going to say that it depends.... My current play through I've had two of them. The first I had a really tough time because the first person he took out was my best melee fighter. I had a pacifist, a person with a 3 shooting and one person with a 9 shooting while the rest were on caravan.
I hunted him down as best I could but I didn't have the necessary people and equipment (wake up) to keep the hunt going
I haven't seen an sightstealer retreat so far. Are you sure you're not referring to a revenant, instead?
Yeah I caught one easily because it appeared when traders were present. I don't think the spoiler alerts are obliged anymore, but do as you please everybody
