Skills you should definitely level up first
At launch, there are two skill trees in Dying Light 2, each with 24 skills. These are divided into combat skills and parkour abilities, which is the art of swiftly and acrobatically moving around.
You earn experience points for the respective skills by doing things that relate to those skills. So through fighting, you level up combat skills, and through jumping around, you level up parkour abilities.
So that you don’t waste your hard-earned skill points, we have gathered some essential skills here.
The most important combat skills
You should quickly acquire these six skills as they significantly ease your fights. First, choose the essential skill Vault Kick. With it, you can already jump between enemies and land powerful kicks. After that, you can get the following skills:
- Perfect Dodge: If you manage the timing here, you can stagger the opponent, allowing you to execute a Vault Kick.
- Air Kick: A very useful skill to flatten enemies from heights. Since you often maneuver on rooftops, this skill is essential.
- Dropkick: With this skill, you can push one or more enemies away from you with a massive dropkick. Ideal for sending them off rooftops or into spikes or other hazardous obstacles.
- Power Attack: This skill allows you to get the most out of large two-handed weapons, delivering significant blows and stunning enemies. Ideal for chaining further combos.
- Perfect Parry: This skill functions like Perfect Dodge, only with a block. It also unlocks the next very useful skill.
- Block Projectiles: Some of the toughest fights in the game are against enemies who take cover at a safe distance, bombarding you with arrows and other projectiles. With this skill, you can easily block the projectiles, taking away their advantage.
The most important parkour skills
Your first skill here is High Jump. This allows you to reach greater heights, which is essential for parkour. After that, you can get the following skills:
- Firm Grip: This lets you grab one last time if you’re hanging by edges and running out of breath. You can also reach for saving holds while falling, thus saving yourself from many falls to your death.
- Active Landing: With this, you can roll after a fall with the press of a button, taking less damage.
- Far Jump: This allows you to leap from obstacles, which also provides a significant advantage.
- Safe Landing: This increases the distance you can fall safely, forgiving many mistakes in parkour.
- Dart: You cannot simply run in Dying Light 2. It requires a skill, and this one gives you a brief speed boost, increasing your jump distance.
- Sleek Runner: This increases your speed when running over narrow or otherwise challenging spots.
