Each successful assignment increases the follower count of DedSec. This how to avoid witness calls and heat levels guide will show how to avoid witness calls and heat levels in the game.

How to Avoid Witness Calls And Heat Levels

Before we start off with the actual guide, here is the explanation of how the system actually works. If you commit any crime, the cops will start to chase you. With increasing heat level, they will look to kill you and not arrest you. The heat level is depicted by the color of the background and on the mini-map.

  • Black Background – Active Pursuers and Limit is to Arrest
  • Yellow Background – Cops are out of sight
  • White Background – Cops are no longer chasing

Now, how to escape the cops? After level 3 heat, even civilians will try to help cops and tell them your current location. Also, the heat doesn’t drop even if you kill the cops chasing you. So, in this case, use the feature News Bulletins. A civilian with an inverted triangle on his head indicates that he is aware of your criminal activity. He will go for a call. In this case, you can either kill the civilian or deploy distract hack to interrupt the call.
