Skills
Weapon Skills
With the exception of Demolitions, all weapon skills cost 2000 points to upgrade. The main advantage of higher weapon skill is increased damage with weapons of that type. In addition, heavy weapon skill decreases the movement penalty with heavy weapons, and decreases the amount of time it takes to lock with the GEP gun. Demolitions skill costs only 1000 points to upgrade, and can increase the amount of time you have to react to a placed grenade.
Multitooling
Reduces the amount of time it takes to open something with a multitool, and reduces the number of tools needed. Very useful for a player who wants to have access to a lot of energy.
Lockpicking
Reduces the amount of time and number of picks needed to open something with a lockpick. This is a very useful skill for sneakier players, as it allows easier access to various goodies.
Computer
Greatly decreases the time required to hack into a computer, as well as the penalty for staying logged in too long. If you intend to hack computers regularly, you should buy at least one level of this skill.
Environmental Training
Improves the duration and effectiveness of ballistic armor, rebreathers, thermoptic camo, and hazmat suits. None of these are included in the levels provided with the multiplayer patch, so this skill is not recommended as particularly useful. It is included in the event that other people want to add such items.
