Need some help, in general (new to the game) and with the Faceless of Rail Crossing. Playing on hard and they really paste me if they see me. I'm sitting on a levelup which I could put entirely into Stealth which I currently have 10 points in, I have a padded coat which has +16 stealth. How much stealth do I need to sneak around the Faceless? I looked on the wiki and I have enough persuasion to persuade the Faceless leader if I can reach them. Alternatively, is there a way I can fight them head-on, maybe with EMP mines or something?
I've come back from Junkyard with the Armadillo drill bit, and I've visited camp Hathor briefly and done the optoelectric battery thing in the east. I'm currently rooting around Core City for oddities, not doing any quests there yet. I'm level 11, I have PSI and no weapons or traps skill. My armour is an anti-thermic galvanic overcoat and I have a Conservative Medium Shield; the rest of my gear is unremarkable.
At level 11, if you've only put in 10, Stealth was never intended to be one of your main skills? It's not a great idea to put points in anywhere just to put out fires. If you're not a stealthy guy, don't waste points in it and look for other solutions; in Underrail, there usually is one.
ItsChon's east wall route will help you avoid most/all Faceless. Even if you don't have lockpicking, it's a path that can help you avoid most/all fights outside the shop if you're careful.
EMP grenades will short-circuit robots, but also fuck up people who have active energy shields (including you). Any character can use grenades, just be prepared to miss.
You can talk to Myles back in town to pursue a sidequest that he says might help you dampen the Faceless threat before you have to go in there.
Memory is fuzzy, but I believe exploring all of the above options, you can solve the quest by fighting something like 1-2 Faceless directly.
