Overview
- Skill points were introduced with the Developer's Cut of Lost Alpha. See Xray PDA Skills module for a brief history.
- The player receives skill points on completion of certain main mission tasks and side missions as well as other events not yet fully disclosed.
- To collect skill points the player needs to have a Xray PDA Skills module and to fit it to the player's PDA.

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.
