Acquiring skills in Sniper Elite Resistance is as easy as playing the game at your own pace. Every action, like takedowns, sabotages, sound mask kills, and so on, accumulates experience points, which reward you with one skill point. These skill points can then be distributed freely among the three skill trees wherever you see fit.

Do note that skills need to be unlocked starting from the innermost circle. The central skill is the core of that category, the middle is an added ability, while the last layer enhances perks provided by the middle layer.
