I have been pretty much been using knife or smart assault rifle and mowing shit down on hard. I am going to nab those epic mantis blades and give them a shot.
One of the bigger issues in this game I have found with the AI (beyond some of the stupid stealth shit where it magically moves to see you breaking any pattern) is it seems to have issues pathing and aiming at you if you are significantly different from it on the Z axis. Like bad pathing to get to you, inability to track you with shots, and so on. Also if you manage to bypass their little premade setups and come in the back of a camp/encounter, their patrol patterns are laughably easy to stealth kill because they set up all the patrols purely to dick over the path they expect you to be forced to enter by. Both of these aspects make the super jump legs one of the more ridiculous items in the game, because you can jump in the air and confuse the combat AI as you drop in and knife the enemy and you can trivialize some of the harder bases by using the super jump to sneak to the end of an encounter. Fun and neat that there is this much variation, but maybe should not be quite so good.
Still enjoying the game and feel its the best open world game I have played since Vice City, but its definitely got its flaws.
