How do you beat skull enemies with stealth

[Olaf]

So im having no problems with the silencer revolver build around stealth with the pistol perks on LOWER levels, but when I meet skull enemies they discover me even with silencer. How do I get around this?

[brimstone]

you don't.

skull means they heavily outlevel you.

come back when you level up.

Yeah, like wat said, either come back later, or you might need to switch to a different build style for the fight. I'm running stealth revolver from a distance, and melee katana up close. I have no problem ripping through red skulls with the katana, but the pistol doesn't keep up. You might find that theres a different weapon, maybe not the katana, that just works better. Basically look at the loot you have, find something with high DPS, and build a bit around that and keep it upgraded.

they will just out-heal your damage, this is the reason why some people thought its a bug that enemy wont die

they're trying to play it like gta or something.

So lemme get this right; I have to build up my general level, outlevel them and that will eventually cause them not to hear me when I shoot out of stealth with a silencer? They will behave as low level enemies?

[brimstone]

yeah, that's how rpgs (that don't have enemy scaling) work.

you don't necessarily have to overlevel them, being around the same level range is enough. check the journal as it indicates what quest has what enemy difficulty (very low means you outlevel it, moderate means you're at the right level for it).

May try using Panam's sniper rifle, the Overwatch that is the one to use. It has silencer built in and packs a punch.
