Skills & Progression | |
Uncharted 4 does not feature a traditional RPG skill tree or extensive character stat upgrades for Nathan Drake. Progression is primarily through acquiring new weapons and gear found in levels or dropped by enemies. There are no craftable upgrades for Nate's personal abilities. Gameplay mastery comes from improving player skill in combat, stealth, platforming, and puzzle-solving. Some weapon 'upgrades' are simply finding more powerful versions or attachments. The grappling hook is a key new tool that enhances traversal and combat options. |
Players earn Perk Points by completing challenges, finding Perk Magazines, and completing Prepper Stashes. These points are spent on various Perks categorized into Survivalist, Renegade, Assassin, Prepper, and Leader, enhancing abilities like health, weapon handling, stealth, crafting, and companion effectiveness. |
