stealth missions
Undetected infiltration tasks
Stealth missions are operations—in video games, military contexts, or espionage—where avoiding detection is the primary objective or constraint.
Success depends on remaining unseen rather than confronting enemies directly: I prefer stealth missions to open combat.
The term appears most frequently in gaming, where such missions often require patience and precise timing.
