If you're the stealthy type, an array of integrated and attachable silencers that mask your attack from the foe will come in handy, as will the ability to equip them to many more weapons than normal. Armor will be your best friend, but will degrade more and more rapidly as you take fire, and you're no longer limited to the standard array: 9 new pieces of body armor have been added as a means to protect your miserable hide from the onslaught for another minute.
