If you’re someone who prefers to work in the darkness and take your battles up close and personal, then Starfield has something for you.

Starfield: Best Build For Stealth

When it comes to creating a build in Starfield, character creation is highly important. Because while you can change cosmetic features of yourself after the start of the game, background and traits are locked from the beginning. And for those that don’t know, backgrounds are a feature that allows players to select a set of skills to start with, pertaining to a certain narrative history. Not only does this count towards combat systems, it also applies to dialogue, including specific choices you can make in conversation.

For a sneaky build, players will want to go ahead and choose the Ronin background. You’ll be provided with Dueling, Stealth, and Scavenging as your starting skills. All of these are extremely useful towards making sure you don’t leave a trace on any mission, while making sure you can survive on your own without others. Traits on the other hand provide extra bonuses and benefits, while having a trade-off dependent on the trait.

Players can select up to 3 traits, or choose none at all, but if you’re grabbing any for a stealth build, you’ll want to go with Unwanted Hero, Introvert, Alien DNA. These are primarily due to the fact that all of these traits will help increase your health, damage, oxygen when alone. Since a stealth build works best alone, these traits will help maximize the damage you can do as a one-man army.
