The best skills in Dying Light 2 that you should get as soon as possible

There are many ways to get through the zombie-infested streets of Dying Light 2. But no matter whether you move over roofs or choose a brute method, you should not forget a certain selection of skills. Find out here on MeinMMO which skills are without alternative in the zombie apocalypse.

What is important in Dying Light 2? Dying Light 2 allows a variety of approaches. You can move like a parcour artist over the roofs and walls or just stubbornly march through the hordes of undead and human opponents and knock everything to a lump.

Then just pay attention to the durability of your weapons, which can only be repaired with this trick. But a few skills are so useful that they actually always make sense.

You should definitely level up these skills first

In total, there are two skill trees with 24 skills each when Dying Light 2 is launched. It is divided into combat skills and skills for parcours, i.e. the art of diving through the area quickly and acrobaticly.

You get experience points for the respective skills by doing things that belong to the skills. So you level up your fighting skills by fighting, and your parcours skills by hopping around.

So that you don’t waste your hard-earned skill points, we’ve put together a few essential skills here.

The most important combat skills

You should get these six skills quickly, because they make the fights noticeably easier for you. First choose the mandatory skill Vault Kick / Jump Kick. With that alone you can jump back and forth between opponents and give them fat kicks. Then you get the following skills:

• Perfect Dodge / Perfect Dodge: If you get the timing right here, you can stagger the opponent, which in turn allows you to vault kick.
• Air Kick / Air Trip: A very useful skill for flattening enemies from high above. Since you often do gymnastics on roofs anyway, this skill is essential.
• Dropkick / Dropkick: With this skill you can knock one or more opponents away from you with a massive dropkick. Great for banging them off roofs or into spikes or other unhealthy obstacles.
• Power Attack / Kraftangriff: With this skill you can get the most out of large, two-handed weapons and really bash and stun opponents. Great for banging out more combos.
• Perfect Parry / Perfekte Parade: This skill works 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 come against enemies who will hole up at a safe distance and pelt you with arrows and other projectiles. With this skill you can easily block the projectiles and take away the advantage of the opponents.

The most important course skills

The first skill you get here is the high jump. This way you can get higher, which is essential for parcours. Then you get the following skills:

• Firm Grip: This gives you one last grab if you’re stuck on edges and running out of breath. In addition, if you fall, you can grab hold of a hold and save yourself from many falls to your death.
• Active Landing / Activation: This allows you to roll after a fall with the press of a button and take less damage.
• Far Jump: Here you can jump from obstacles, which also gives a great advantage.
• Safe Landing: Here the distance that you can fall without being damaged is further increased, which forgives you for many mistakes on the course.
• Dart: / Assault You can’t just run in Dying Light 2. It takes a skill to do this and this one gives you a short speed boost that also increases jump distance.
• Sleek Runner / Schnittiger Runner: Here your speed is increased when you run over narrow or otherwise difficult to negotiate areas.
