Skill Training

Every week i dedicated a day for purely skill training, i'm interested in what you all think would be best to cover in terms of stealth.

I don't really have a training regime for stealth, I just go out and do it. For physical training, focus on agility & balance. Being able to contort your body to cover/make your silhouette unrecognisable and moving steadily is very conducive to stealth movement.

@Vengeance, I like to choose different surfaces or terrains to work on moving silently through. For instance, I like to practice on stairs, wood floors, gravel, sidewalks, wooded areas, leaves, tall grasses, and more. Through each environment, I practice running, walking, crouched walking, crawling, rolling, and getting to and from flat on the ground quickly and quietly.

I also find value in practicing climbing trees, various types of fences, and rope. Working on pull-ups helps with this, too.

I would be interested to hear what you decide to do for your training and how it goes.

This is a good idea
My only issue is finding some places with that terrain out of sight

Yes, you're right and i do
The skill day is just for me to perfect Stealth movements and other skills like lockpicking, quickly changing clothes, etc.
Stuff like that
