The former lets you use companion abilities while the latter means your inhaler also heals your pals in the midst of battle. This means you can spend credits on improving the quality of your weapons and armour, and if you want to make sure you can pass almost every skill check in the game, you'll want to put some points into Science.įinally, unless you're running as a lone wanderer, you're going to want points in Inspiration and Determination in order to keep your companions alive. You can also pickpocket humans when you get it up to 40, so it's more than worth it.Īnother skill check I found to pop up quite frequently was Science, which also provides you with the ability to tinker at workbenches. If you are aiming to talk your way out of situations rather than killing things, Sneak will be extra useful too, as having this high reduces the distance you can be detected by a considerable distance. Putting points into all three Stealth skills is required in order to explore as much of the world as possible, because there's a considerable amount of loot and secrets hidden behind locked doors and terminals. Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Snipers and more are all classed as Long Guns, so invest in this to be adept with most of the powerful guns in the game.

Under the Ranged category is where you'll find Long Guns, and this encapsulates most of the The Outer Worlds best weapons. All three of Persuade, Lie, and Intimidate show up frequently, so unless you're vehemently against the idea of lying to someone or intimidating them, I recommend investing in all three. With that said, here are my favourite skills to buff up as high as possible:Ĭonversational skill checks are found in most chats you'll have with named NPCs, so if you want to talk your way out of any situation, this is a crucial one to invest in.

Playing as a smooth talker with the ability to deceive and break into anywhere is something you can have some serious fun with in The Outer Worlds. While you can play as a violent, murderous madman with buffs to skills like Long Guns, Heavy Weapons, and 1/2-Handed Melee, the combat mechanics aren't the most refined or polished. The Outer Worlds excels when it comes to story, dialogue, and conversation choices.
