Unable to perform a Stealth Kill enemies in Starfield? No matter how sneaky you are, you get detected after shooting one bullet at the enemy. Moreover, it seems that there’s no way to backstab an enemy at all. However, it’s necessary to do sneaky kills to rank up the Stealth Skill. So, how exactly can you kill enemies and remain undetected? Check out this guide to learn how.
How to Stealth Kill Enemies in Starfield
Any character build can perform Stealth Kill by crouching and using suppressed weapons. But those who have unlocked the Stealth Skill Tree can check their ‘Hidden’ status. This helps to get behind cover before the Hidden bar depletes and you fall in danger. Now to Rank up this Skill to level 2, you’ll have to do 10 Stealth Kills. To do so, you need to target an enemy who’s not close to its backup. Make sure that you have a suppressed weapon with you. Once you find a target alone, crouch, get behind it, and fire multiple shots until the enemy is killed. This will maintain your hidden status and allow you to execute a Stealth Kill in Starfield.
If you are specifically looking to rank up the Stealth Skill, then killing creatures works too. There are planets where you can find space animals in abundance. You can crouch behind them to make them dead as well. As you level up this skill, your detection chances will reduce.
