 **Q: What is NG++?**
-**A:** New Game++. It refers to loading a completed save file for the 3rd round. It enables some benefits such as skipping Stillmans bomb tutorial, but also adds extra randomness. Ames location in the hostage room is the main example. NG++ also resets strut D's bomb locations for Hard and above.

 Pros:
   * Staying low (useful in strut E and to avoid Harrier's machine gun)
+  * If equipped at the right time, guards won't fire at you upon detection saving time and health
   * Not being detected by enemies when stationary (obvious)
   * Easy to turn around (useful when avoiding Fortune's shots)
