Agility
Sneaking is an agility skill.
Overview
Experience is gained by sneaking (pressing C) near zombies while undetected.
Walking/running while sneaking has a default 20% sound radius multiplier, and a 40% detection chance multiplier. For example, at level 0 in the sneaking skill, the base 20% sneak sound radius multiplier will be multiplied by the level 0 sneaking skill multiplier of 120%, leading to an effective footstep sound radius of 24% while sneaking. (20% * 120% = 24%)
Skill effects
The sneaking skill affects how loud a character's footsteps are when sneaking, and how likely zombies are to spot them.
