• Excellent talent; stamina is needed for all movement.
  
• Judging by tests in conjunction with other talents, it slightly increases their effectiveness since they work as percentages.

- While walking [V], stamina regenerates as if you were standing still.

• Doesn't work while walking with gun aiming.
  
• There are reports that the talent doesn't work while holding a weapon.
  
• This is a questionable talent on PC; there are reports that it works on consoles during any leisurely movement.

------------------------------------

- Short rolls reduce stamina consumption by 5-25%.

• It appears to only work on the regular [Alt] roll and not on the long [Shift + Alt] roll.
  
• Useless talent. You'll likely never use the short roll.
  
• The 3/5 talent allows you to do 8 short rolls in a row instead of 7, while the 5/5 talent doesn't add the ability to do an additional roll.

------------------------------------

• Little less useless talent if climbing ladders doesn't consume stamina and it regenerates (untested).

------------------------------------

- When climbing over small obstacles, you can jump and bounce off them.

• Only small waist-high fences, railings, etc., which the character can quickly vault over, are suitable.

• The more items in the container, the greater the benefit from this talent.

• Makes the sound of looting containers and raiders 30-50% quieter, but players with tuned audio will still hear you.
  
• Reduces the sound range from 80 to 60 meters.

------------------------------------
15+ level
------------------------------------

- Your stamina regenerates faster while you have a health-restoring buff active.

• A useful talent; you'll need to regenerate health often, sometimes on the go, and stamina comes in handy.
  
• When sprinting or rolling, stamina does not regenerate.

------------------------------------

• Raider containers aren't limited to the ticking, buried supplies of raiders.
  
• Raider containers include weapon cases.
  
• Raider containers include all containers in locations where raider settlements or stashes once existed.
  
• Consumables, from smoke grenades to Raider Hatch Keys, are increasingly found in containers.
  
• A controversial talent, but consumables are a very valuable resource and make survival easier, especially with free gear.
  
• I recommend taking at least 1/5 - you'll start to see new loot that almost never appears in regular containers like lockers without a talent.

------------------------------------

- Partially reduces the stamina recovery penalty when overencumbered.

• Does not affect the movement speed penalty or stamina consumption penalty.
  
• Useless talent.

• Reinforced lockers cannot be opened without this skill, even if someone has opened them before you.

• After disarming, the mines/traps can be picked up.
  
• There are reports that this talent also reduces the trigger radius of enemy mines and traps.
  
• A relatively useful talent, more and more players are starting to use mines.
  
• However, this talent won't help with tricky trap and mine placements, such as laser mines placed on the ceiling, etc.
