Starfield Stealth skill overview

The Starfield Stealth skill is a tier 1 skill in the Physical skill tree. It, as with all Starfield skills, has 4 ranks, beginning at rank 1 and ending at rank 4. In order to progress up the Stealth skill tree, you will need to complete various skill challenges related to the skill in question, and increase your Starfield level to earn skill points. Each rank requires a skill point to unlock.

Stealth offers an alternative way to either avoid enemies or deal with them silently, this skill is a great way to improve your stealthiness.
