Most sneaks are in Hound faction atm. And BBoys, who for the last few hours have been running around with Hounds. You, yourself a Hound. I would say the odds are currently in your favour.
I myself have had a history of going to core and getting killed by sneak quite often (as you well know). I also tried scavenging recently with a hound char, in hound zones. I walked away with no deaths and a much higher grade and quantity of gear. And I'm only assuming here, but it probably wasn't peak time/numbers. Not that any of that matters.

Now on point. I haven't had
too much trouble from sneaks since start of season 2. Yes going in to core alone for scraps of toilet paper and porn, getting wasted blah blah. That aside, 85% of sneak
I have seen
this season are either running in front of or behind a ZC squad. Not running along alone. Yes some people ran around in snek squid and killed a few loners. I then see those loners go out in blue to look for their lost pixel. Instead of getting a few guys together and gearing themselves up with a chance.
I see a sneak attack the edge of a ZC squad and get crushed in seconds by a fast response. Then I see it go the other way and the sneak picks a guy off the edges, only for that guy to be revived by his team mates. Sneaks gotta know when to strike during large ZC. Unless swarm, then its pretty much do whatevermakesufeelgud.
Do I think sneaks should be gimped to the point of living CCTV? No. Do I think their weapons and gear, maybe their playstyle should be a little more specialized and situational...Depends.
Like most things, its accessible to everyone, and not necessarily the best thing to use, hm. Sneak is
so tricky. I
think I want to vote to keep them as they are...For now at least
