So I tested the sneak bow in crucible and I'm not sure if the perk is bugged or I'm just missing what the buff is. To my understanding, the perk is supposed to remove the occasional ping on people's radar while I'm crouched so that I am not on radar period. However, I still ping people when I'm crouched. I tried testing whether it meant the red arrow doesn't show up when someone gets shot telling them where they were getting shot from, but that was still there. I saw this video that confirmed what I tested. So is the perk bugged and not doing what it's supposed to do or am I missing something?

Think you’ve misread.... it states it prevents radar pings from shooting while crouched. So previously when you shot an arrow it would ping the radar for each shot. Now it should only ping the standard amount of time while crouched even when shooting. Which could still be very powerful if you can utilise it correctly. I’ve not had a chance to fully test but I’d recommend giving nightstalker a go and combine the invis effects with the bow. The main thing to remember when invisible is anything boosted (jump/sprint) will ping but walking/crouching won’t. Even when the invis stops you have approx. 10/15 seconds if you stay crouch walking where you won’t ping the radar. So how I’m going to spec into a ‘shinobi’ build is by utilising top tree nightstalker and try to stay invis as much as possible. So will use sixth coyote for that double dodge and use a sneak bow and a shotty to catch people unaware. You can then use 1 dodge to get into position and have the second dodge to slip away if you need to.
