My stealth build in The Outer Worlds 2 has me obsessed with a particular gadget, but every single one has "multiple purposes" because Obsidian didn't want them to be "singular use tools"

Thanks to the many RPGs and adventures that let me lean into my love for stealth, I'm no stranger when it comes to covering up my tracks. Whether I'm chucking a corpse over my shoulder and discarding it into a big dumpsters in Cyberpunk 2077, or ditching the evidence of my misdeeds in some tall grass or hay bales in any one of the best Assassin's Creed games, hiding kills is textbook stuff when it comes to avoiding detection.

Now, The Outer Worlds 2 has entered the stealthy scene to put a gadget in my hands that I didn't know I always wanted: Auntie's Acidic Dematerializer. Honing in on the Stealth skill, I've been crouching my way through much of Obsidian's corporate-dystopian sci-fi universe, and stabbing enemies in the back as I go. And thanks to this handy dandy gadget – which is essentially a goo-filled spray can – I can evaporate the bodies of foes I've killed and turn them into an unassuming pile of green sludge.
