Night City is a crazy place, filled with gang violence, massive evil corporations, and blood around every corner. However, some situations still call for the calm, stealthy approach. In this guide, we will break down a top-to-bottom build for those who lurk in the shadows and pick off their enemies.

Stealth Stats

Since stealth is the name of this build, invest points into Cool, Reflexes, and Intelligence. Your perks will level up the more you use them. Specifically, stealth takedowns will level up Ninjustu perks.
