Sneaking up is a special ability that allows you to move undetected.
It is based on Agility points, especially the Sneak perk which gives you +20% to stealth.
All security turrets also notice you faster than humans and monsters.
Sneaking mode is activated with a single button that is also responsible for crouching.
In this mode you automatically move slower and quieter.
Also, a bar appears in the middle of the screen.
Each state can slowly change into previous one if you are well hidden and wait for some time.
Attacks performed while sneaking up have two positive traits.
You have greater accuracy and you receive a damage bonus for surprise attack.
By default, the bonus is 2x the number of damage dealt.
With the Ninja perk (requires agility) the multiplier can be increased.
Pickpocketing is related to sneaking up.
Only in stealth mode you could use it.
To do it, you must walk to any NPC.
An option to steal will become available, you could activate it with action button.
Simply checking the equipment of your target isn’t considered as a bad behavior.
Only when you will make a run at steal something, the game will consider it as robbery.
At the bottom of the screen you might check your chances for a successful theft.
The higher the agility, the greater the chance for success.
Stealing someone’s belongings for your own profits is not the only trait of this skill.
Another profit of stealing is the possibility to add something to other people’s inventory.
It is especially useful to give them grenades or mines.
Unsuspicious enemy can drag such bomb to a group of enemies and cause some damage while you remain undetected.
This trick is worth using, especially since you receive a trophy/achievement for it:Prankster’s Return.
