Is Assassin Worth It?
| Upgrade Priority (Ranking) |  |
|---|---|
| Reason | Pretty useful especially early in the game when more often, you battle human enemies. |
Early Useful Skill
This is definitely a skill to get very early but its usefulness wanes later in the game as more and more, damage against humans becomes dependent on the type of weapon you use.
However, it still is a useful skill to have since majority of the enemies you will face in this game are of the human variety. You just have to adjust when faced with drones or powerful robots.
