| Perk | Attr. Level | Effect at Lv. 1 | Rating & Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
 Silent And Deadly |
3 | Increases damage dealt by silenced weapons by 25% while sneaking. |
Silencers reduce damage by 15-30% themselves making this bonus only partially useful. |
 Crouching Tiger |
3 | Increases movement speed while sneaking by 20%. |
This perk helps in takedowns and sneaking around allowing you to maximize stealth (and increase Stealth EXP as well). |
 Hidden Dragon |
5 | Allows you to perform lethal or non-lethal aerial takedowns on unaware targets. |
While this takes advantage of height, there is rarely an opportunity for this skill to be maximized. |
 Dagger Dealer |
5 | Allows you to throw knives. Hold L2 to aim and press R2 to throw. |
While knives are pretty common and oftentimes buyable, you lose them in the process making this skill a bit expensive to use. |
 Leg Up |
7 | Movement speed after a successful takedown is increased by 30% for 10 sec. |
Movement speed increase is useful only in certain situations. |
 Strike From The Shadows |
7 | Increases your Crit Chance by 15% while sneaking. |
Very useful when already equipped with weapons that has a high Critical chance. |
 Assassin |
7 | Deal 15% more damage to human enemies. |
Pretty useful especially early in the game when more often, you battle human enemies. |
 Sniper |
9 | Increases damage from headshots fired from outside combat by 30%. |
When paired with Snipers that have a high headshot multipliers, this will almost ensure a one-hit kill on any target (except for bosses). |
 Cutthroat |
9 | Thrown knives deal 30% more damage. |
While this could ensure a very high damaging single-shot attack, you lose whatever Knife you throw making this attack style very expensive. |
 Aggressive Antitoxins |
11 | Grants immunity to Poison. |
There are very few opponents that use Poison related attacks making this skill only partially useful. |
 Clean Work |
11 | You can pick up an enemy's body immediately after performing a takedown by holding R3. |
Unless you have the Transporter ability from the Athletics Skill Tree, this skill will render you unable to attack or sprint. |
 Stunning Blows |
11 | Quick Melee Attacks with ranged weapons stagger enemies, giving you an opportunity to grapple them. |
It is very rare that you can find an opportunity to use Quick Melee Attacks, making this perk far less useful than others. |
 From The Shadows |
12 | Upon entering combat, Crit Chance increases by 25% for 7 sec. |
Critical hits are particularly useful in finishing off opponents quickly - and making it happen more often is definitely helpful. |
 Ghost |
12 | Detection time is increased by 20%. |
This skill is particulary useful in finishing missions in Stealth since it delays detection and unwanted battles. |
 Commando |
14 | You cannot be detected under water. |
There are very few missions that occur near bodies of water and for those that do, there is rarely a need for V to get into the water, making this school mostly useless. |
 Venomous Fangs |
14 | All knives apply Poison. |
This is particularly useful when knives are used in melee combat (not thrown). |
 Rattlesnake |
14 | Enemies affected by Poison are slowed. |
This skill is highly dependent on applying Poison which can only be effective once Venomous Fangs is unlocked. Otherwise, this skill is very situational. |
 Silent Finisher |
16 | Enemies with less than 15% Health are defeated instantly when attacked with a Knife. Does not work on enemies with a Very High threat level. |
This makes Knives even deadlier when added to the effects of Venomous Fangs, Rattlesnake, and Neurotoxin. |
 Hasty Retreat |
16 | Temporarily boosts movement speed by 50% for 5 sec. when detected by an enemy. |
Good as an escape tactic however, it defeats the purpose of stealth which this skill tree is supposed to increase. |
 Restorative Shadows |
16 | While in stealth, increases Health regen by 25%. |
This allows V to fight a bit more recklessly while in Stealth as it preserves his health. |
 Neurotoxin |
18 | Damage from Poison is doubled. |
Highly dependent on other skills and Poison-inducing weapons in order to be effective (such as Rattlesnake and Venomous Fangs) |
 Hasten The Inevitable |
18 | Deal 20% more damage to enemies affected by Poison. |
Highly dependent on other skills as well as weapons that inflict Poison in order to be effective. |
 Cheat Death |
18 | When your Health drops below 50%, reduce all incoming damage by 50% for 10 sec. Cannot occur more than once per minute. |
Useful especially against enemies that deal a lot of damage. |
 Ninjutsu |
20 | Crouch Attacks from stealth with melee weapons deal 100% more damage and guarantee a critical hit. |
This almost guarantees a one-hit KO with any blade or blunt weapon. |
 Toxicology |
Level 20 in Stealth | Increases the duration of Poison applied to enemies by 5 seconds. +0.2 sec. per Perk level. |
This is highly dependent on skills that apply Poison immediately otherwise it would not be as effective. |
| Perk | Attr. Level | Effect at Lv. 1 | Rating & Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sniper |
9 | Increases damage from headshots fired from outside combat by 30%. |
When paired with Snipers that have a high headshot multipliers, this will almost ensure a one-hit kill on any target (except for bosses). |
| From The Shadows |
12 | Upon entering combat, Crit Chance increases by 25% for 7 sec. |
Critical hits are particularly useful in finishing off opponents quickly - and making it happen more often is definitely helpful. |
| Cheat Death |
18 | When your Health drops below 50%, reduce all incoming damage by 50% for 10 sec. Cannot occur more than once per minute. |

In the crafting screen, would love to see a comparison between what I'm currently equipped with vs what I've selected to craft. In the Inventory screen, I have no idea where any extra weight is without going into each category (weapons, clothes, etc). Please add some sort of weight indicator next to each category so I know exactly where I seem to be overloaded. In the Map, please mark completed items (assault in progress, access points), grey out the icons or something similar?
