How to level Stealth fast in Starfield

Skills in Starfield can be tricky to level up if you don't know what you are doing, as I learned the hard way over multiple hours in-game. Other times, skills like Stealth are confusing as the game description doesn't explain how the skill works. Luckily, we at PGG cracked the code and made this guide on how to level up Stealth fast in Starfield.

How to level Stealth in Starfield - Fast Leveling Guide

To level stealth in Starfield, you first need to unlock the skill. Unlike previous Bethesda games, you must unlock the stealth skill before leveling it. You can unlock the stealth skill by opening your skill menu and using one skill point. To access the skill menu on your PC, press the P key on your keyboard. For console users, press the menu button on your controller and use the analog stick to access the skill menu. You can find and unlock the stealth skill at the top of the physical skill tree.

Once you unlock the stealth skill in Starfield, you can level it up fast by getting successful stealth kills while undetected. The status Hidden will appear at the top of your screen when undetected. Only attack targets when you see this on screen, or the stealth kill won't count toward leveling the stealth skill. That said, you can tell when your character is hidden by checking the top of your screen for the status Hidden as shown below:

To help with stealth kills and leveling stealth, we recommend getting a decent suppressed weapon and practicing on low-level enemies to get stealth kills. Using a scoped weapon and shooting a creature like the ones in our image above is also a good option. Overall, it doesn't matter where and how you farm your kills as long as you attack enemies while the status is Hidden on screen. Doing so ensures the kills you get while in stealth count towards leveling the stealth skill. Once you get the hang of stealth, you can fully level it by earning over 60 stealth kills and using four skill points.
