Don’t Fight if You Don’t Have To
Speaking of skill points, you’ll get these by completing missions. We Happy Few doesn’t have a standard progression system, where you’re gaining experience points through combat and leveling up via traditional means. Instead, you’ll receive skill points for every main and side mission you complete, so there’s absolutely no point in fighting enemies if you don’t have to. Basic weapons break very easily in this game, and it can be hard to find healing items when you first leave the tutorial island, so try to rely on stealth as best you can.
However, it’s also worth noting that you can choose to fight enemies if you want to progress through a quest the easy way. One of the main story missions requires you to obtain a Boiler Suit so that you can convince an NPC to give you a key item. During my playthrough, I didn’t have enough resources to craft the outfit. Instead of backtracking and hunting down the materials I needed, I simply beat the shit out of the NPC and stole the item off his body. Brutal, but it works.
