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. |
Ability progression is tied to collected Gear pieces and weapon modifications rather than traditional skill trees tied to player XP. Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium. |
