The Outskirts

Tall grass, abandoned fuel stations, broken road and empty checkpoints, with farmland running off either side. The cover thins out and the sightlines open up. Stealth sections run longer here because there is simply further to go between places worth hiding in, and the things chasing you are faster than anything underground.
