How to Stealth Kill in The Forever Winter

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that The Forever Winter has quickly become one of my favorite games to sneak around in. The desolate environment, filled with the remains of past battles and the ever-present threat of enemy patrols, provides an exhilarating challenge.


In the harsh landscape of The Forever Winter, you’ll be constantly on the move searching for resources, navigating through devastated battlefields. Frequently, you’ll find yourself surrounded by lethal adversaries and menacing war machines. Given the situation, fighting is usually a desperate measure, particularly when dealing with larger drones or heavily fortified enemies.

In the game The Forever Winter, due to the danger inherent in combat, it’s usually wiser to choose stealth as your method of movement through the harsh landscape. This involves slipping past patrols and gathering resources from containers and bodies, which is generally less challenging compared to engaging a group of adversaries with your gradually depleting ammo stock. However, the game’s tutorial fails to highlight one useful stealth feature: the capacity to eliminate enemies quietly from behind.

Executing a Stealth Kill can be quite challenging, especially for beginners. To succeed, it’s essential to approach the enemy covertly from behind while maintaining a low profile (preferably crouching). This is because one spotted enemy will typically alert others, increasing the chances of you being detected, which usually means your stealth kill attempt will fail.

When you’re right behind an enemy, go ahead and click the melee attack button (usually the Middle Mouse Button or ‘V’ key). You’ll notice a target icon with a skull when you’re ready for a stealth kill. This move quickly eliminates most weaker opponents, but keep in mind that bigger adversaries, such as vehicles and mechs, can’t be targeted. The stealth kill usually keeps the enemy’s squad unaware (though this seems to depend on proximity), but it’s not completely silent like silenced weapons. Also, remember that you’ll be locked into the kill animation until it finishes, which might lead to trouble if you pick the wrong moment to strike.

Mastering the art of a Stealth Kill is beneficial for conserving ammunition and ensuring you can take down opponents without putting yourself in harm’s way, making it an essential skill to have when navigating treacherous battlefields and tight passageways. Choosing a character with enhanced speed, such as the Shaman, can facilitate sneaking up on enemies unnoticed and executing a stealth kill more effectively.
