stealth mission

Secret infiltration task

A stealth mission is an operation—military, espionage, or in video games—where success depends on avoiding detection rather than direct confrontation.

The goal is to infiltrate, gather intelligence, or complete objectives without alerting enemies: The stealth mission required them to slip past guards unnoticed.

In gaming, stealth missions often penalize or fail players who are spotted.
