Notes
- Other Skill points are awarded on an irregular basis for combat. Most of these appear to involve defeating Mutants. (v1.4007 only)
- Some missions may yield a point on a random basis ("Find a wire" - see gallery) This may be part of the alleged irregular behaviour of the Xray PDA Skills module that precluded its inclusion in the earliest release.
Trivia
- All applicable versions:
- Skill points may not be purchased, traded in any manner or re-used.
- There is no obligation that the player needs to actually use any or all of their points. This is entirely at the player's discretion.
- Skill points can be used later (you don't need to use them immidiately)
- Completing the storyline correctly may issue you more skill points, which can be very handy in freeplay.
