| This [[:vision]] lasts until the agent moves (or is [[:KO|KOed]] or [[:lethal_damage|lethally wounded]]); it will not automatically go away during the [[:corporation]] turn, nor will it be reduced if a door is closed after the peek. This means that it is possible to scout [[:guard_behaviour#patrolling|patrols]] in adjacent rooms by opening the [[:door]], peeking, then closing it again, and not moving the agent again that turn. | This [[:vision]] lasts until the agent moves (or is [[:KO|KOed]] or [[:lethal_damage|lethally wounded]]); it will not automatically go away during the [[:corporation]] turn, nor will it be reduced if a door is closed after the peek.

| [[:Agents]] will never be seen by peeking, and the direction the agent is facing does not matter. Peeking is particularly important in [[:modes:Expert Plus]] mode, where danger zones are hidden, and moving agents through doors or around hard corners can result in them being seen by a [[:guard]] or [[:mainframe_devices:security cameras|camera]] that was previously hidden. Conversely, if an [[:agent]] peeks, you can see anything that would see that [[:agent]] on adjacent tiles. | [[:Agents]] will never be seen by peeking (unless they peek from a tile watched by a security camera), and the direction the agent is facing does not matter.

| Human [[:guards]] peek once they have reached an [[:guard_behaviour#interest point]]. When they peek, all their [[:vision]] cone becomes primary vision, and they turn 45° to the right, then to the left. This means that a guard with a standard 45° primary [[:vision]] cone and 90° secondary [[:vision]] cone will see a total of 180° when peeking. [[:Guards]] always look right before looking left, in case multiple suspicious things are in the room. | Human [[:guards]] peek once they have reached an [[:guard_behaviour#interest point]].
