Starfield has one of the most immersive skill trees in recent RPG history, but there is one skill every Bethesda fan targets first— the Stealth skill. If you want to become an overpowered Stealth Sniper in this new RPG, here’s how to level up the Stealth skill fast in Starfield.

Starfield is easily one of the most influential games of 2023 as it has redefined the RPG genre in a typical Bethesda way. After achieving the best launch in the developer’s history, many have even gone ahead and called it their best game ever.

The Skyrim “Stealth Archer” is a way of life for Bethesda fans. However, if you want to bring that style of play into the futuristic world of Starfield with a sniper rifle instead, you will need to increase your Stealth skill.

Here’s how to level up the Stealth skill in Starfield fast.

How to rank up Stealth skill fast in Starfield

To level up the Stealth skill in Starfield, you will have to perform a number of Stealth Attacks to go through each threshold of the skill. The battles in the game are mostly set in such a way that leveling up the Stealth skills seems to be tedious and time-consuming.

However, there is one way to counter this problem and we will be using exactly that here. To begin with, you will have to search for a planet with some fauna. Even Kreet at the beginning of the game would suffice. Once you have a destination, make sure to pack a gun with high range, preferably a suppressed weapon with a scope.

Stealth is extremely overpowered in the game.

You can find such guns in most of the weapon shops in cities, or the UC weapon dealer in Cydonia. Although you can do this with any gun if you are sneaky enough, a suppressed gun with decent range always helps.

Now, make your way to your desired planet and sneak your way through it until you find some creatures at a distance. Make sure that you are crouched and hidden, and start attacking them one by one. Keep in mind that every sneak attack will put you ahead in your quest to level up your Stealth skill in Starfield.

If you get tired of searching for additional fauna, head back to your ship and sleep for a few hours to reset the planet. This was everything you need to know to level your Stealth skill fast in Starfield.
