Dying Light 2 Stay Human’s Skill Tree And XP Systems Have Been Revealed

Ahead of its February 4 release, Techland has revealed the skill tree and XP systems within Dying Light 2 Stay Human.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human will feature two skill trees that focus on combat and parkour, with XP being earned primarily by performing actions related to those skills. Traversing the map by vaulting, climbing and free running will be rewarded with XP that goes towards the parkour experience bar while taking on human and infected enemies will net you XP in the combat experience bar. The more creative you are in your movements and attacks, the greater the experience you’ll earn, with skills that you unlock giving you more ways to earn XP.

Of course, completing missions will result in XP being earned for both experience bars, but the more you traverse and fight, the quicker you’ll gain access to new abilities. While detailing the skill trees and progression, Techland also unveiled six of the abilities that will be available in the game, three from parkour and three from combat. Here are the abilities that have been revealed:

• Block Charge. When blocking, you’ll have the ability to charge at an enemy and knock them to the ground.
• Perfect Parry. Parrying at the last moment will cause the attacking enemy to stagger.
• Ground Pound. While in mid-air, you can propel yourself to the ground to cause a shockwave that will knock back enemies.
• Far Jump. While vaulting over obstacles you can use them to launch yourself into the air and jump further.
• Bash. While running, you can burst through obstacles and bash past enemies without stopping.
• Tic Tac. Run along horizontal surfaces (wall run).

Dying Light 2 Stay Human releases on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch and PC on February 4.
