CAMO INDEX

The Camo Index in the upper right corner of the screen indicates Snake's visibility. The higher the number, the harder it is for enemies to spot him.
The color of the numbers will change as follows.
Blue: Camo Index is boosted because of a disruption in the baseline (field).
Red: Camo Index is reduced because of an Alert Phase or other phase.
