Tracking and movement are different decisions
Killer Sense is the information-gathering side of Michael’s kit. IllFonic describes a first-person perspective that helps locate nearby residents and build Stalk by focusing on them. Higher Stalk supports identification, tracking, and execution opportunities.
Do not confuse that purpose with Shape Jump’s traversal. One helps you understand and prepare the hunt; the other helps you reposition. The sensible order is to establish the target and route before committing to a close approach.
Reported default controls and focus points
GamingAlly’s September 4 guide reports R as the default keyboard activation. It also describes focus points on victims that speed up Stalk when aligned with the crosshair. Follow your actual binding and HUD rather than treating this reported key as mandatory.
The same guide cautions that visualized sound cues may come from distractions or environmental noise. Investigate the clue, but confirm the target instead of assuming every marker identifies a civilian.
Use a short observation routine
Our recommendation is to find a concealed viewpoint, identify one target, observe which direction it can leave, and only then build the approach around that information. If the target changes direction, recheck instead of mechanically following the first route.
This page does not supply fixed Stalk thresholds, damage multipliers, or guaranteed execution conditions. Those depend on the current interface, target, and context; verify the displayed opportunity before acting on a challenge guide.
