On Grounded you're better off using stealth. Especially when there are clickers and hunters in the area.
My nikkas out here actually using stealth in this game. In the busyard stage, This nikka bill talkin bout *theres a lot of runners you you should go in quiet* I was like. And walked in that bytch LOUD, beating the shyt out of anybody who wanted WHAT with nikkas.
Why waste time beating dudes up going through all your ammo if intelligence can get you through by sneaking around? It's an easy decision for me.
