Somethings I noticed with my latest walkthrough

You can sneak past red lasers using any type of spray weapon. I ain't had the chance to try it on those blue ones yet. You did not know about this, don't even lie because you use crates, destroyed them or used multi tools.

The level designers have spread out a lot of flares in the game, this hints that they're the best utility item and a must have for stealth walkthroughs. I use them a lot and I still have 14 of them as of the MOLE people's hideout.

On your way to the warehouse with the generator, you can stack up a staircase with bins which brings you to the main entrance in less than 5 seconds, making the mission much easier.

That first one is incredibly helpful, I'll probably try the whole game in Stealth. I generally just rush in guns blazing or snipe all the fuckers -- the latter is stealth in itself but I don't class it as "stealth."

And I was always thinking, do flares attract guards? I've never tried, might do sometime tomorrow. Seriously, I know I'd be a bit suspicious is a random flare flew past my head LIT.

Distracts them for at least 10 seconds, throw them the way where you don't want them to look.

Did you find out if it works for the blue wires yet?
This is interesting - I'm going to try doing another stealth walkthrough, utilizing this spray technique. Props for discovering.

It works for any wires, except ones that that are effected by any object interfering. I found out there is no difference in the colors, and only different types of laser systems.

There's no difference in colors? Goddamn, I actually always thought that 1 color didn't even allow crates etc.
