In Sniper Elite 5, leveling up involves gaining skill points, which may be used to unlock new abilities or bonuses. The following guide will assist you in determining which equipment related talents or perks to obtain initially in Sniper Elite 5 in order to make the early game easier.
As you go in Sniper Elite 5, you acquire skill points via XP. These skill points may be spent to unlock unique abilities and benefits. The special talents are separated into three categories: combat, equipment, and body, with a total of 27 skills.
Some of the talents take just one skill point, while others demand more, but the choice is yours. Don’t worry if you’re having problems picking which abilities to pursue. We’ve compiled a list of the top talents to learn early on in the game.
Equipment Skills
| Skill Name | Effect | Skill Point Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Scavenge Weapon Ammo | Allows you to extract ammunition from found weapons | 1 |
| Extra Item Slot 1 | Adds an extra item slot | 1 |
| Extra item Slot 2 | Adds another extra item slot | 2 |
| Carry More Decoys | Increases the max carrying capacity of Decoys and Bottles | 1 |
| Pistol Special Ammo | Adds an extra special ammunition slot for the Pistol | 2 |

When it comes to Equipment Skills, you can pretty much just pick and choose which ones you want to use based on your own preferences. We do, however, strongly advise selecting Scavenge Weapon Ammo to ensure you don’t run out of ammo early in the game. Taking Extra Item Slots early on would also assist.
