| Once considered a "sport of kings," boxing is still practiced as a recreational competitive activity, but its combat applications can't be denied. | |
As Boxing is a Novice skill, it can be learned without having to spend skill points on other skills in the Physical skill tree. You just need to spend a skill point on Boxing to learn it.
The Boxing skill is automatically learned by the following backgrounds:
| Bouncer | Gangster |
| Rank | Challenge | Effects |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | - | Unarmed attacks do 25% more damage. 25% less O2 used when using a power attack. |
| 2 | Kill 20 enemies with an unarmed attack | Unarmed attacks do 50% more damage. 50% less O2 used when using a power attack. |
| 3 | Kill 50 enemies with an unarmed attack. | Unarmed attacks do 75% more damage. While in a fight and unarmed, running consumes 30% less O2. |
| 4 | Kill 100 enemies with an unarmed attack. | Unarmed attacks do 100% more damage and have a chance to knock down opponents. |
You can complete the Boxing rank challenge by killing relatively harmless fauna from a planet with them. Fighting the local fauna saves time by not having to look for combat encounters and their relative abundancy in some planets.
To unarm yourself, unequip any weapon you may be holding from the weapons section of your inventory.
Boost your melee damage and kill enemies more quickly with damage-boosting Aid items. Some higher-tier damage-boosting items, such as Red Trench and Frostwolf, are craftable in the Pharmaceutical Lab, while most damage-boosting items can be bought from vendors.
