=== Loudness & Visibility ===
[[File:Combat.jpg|frameless|right|400px]]
How much noise you make and how visible you are determines whether or not nearby Infected will notice you. The slower you move, the less noise you make. Be aware that firing guns may attract Infected as well as alert other Survivors to your position, especially at night. The closer to the ground you move, the less visible you are. Slowly crawling will make you almost invisible and allow you avoid confronting Infected. Of course, other Survivors can still see you, though it will be much harder if you're in tall grass.

Your outfit has a large influence on your effectiveness in hiding from and defending against other Survivors. The default clothing selections stand out from the environment, especially in the woods or at the edges of towns. Even when hiding in bushes, you should be easy to spot for experienced Survivors. There are several ways to remedy this: choose more natural-colored [[Clothing|clothing]] or use natural camouflage such as a [[Ghillie Suit‎|ghillie suit‎]].
