Without its parkour, Dying Light 2 would feel bland. The ability to scale buildings, jump from rooftop to rooftop, and leap across gaps with relative ease helps make the game a breath of fresh air. But getting around the massive world can be tough without the right parkour skills in Dying Light 2.
So, which parkour skills do you invest in to enhance your movement?
You Need These Parkour Skills in Dying Light 2
As you level up your parkour skills, you’ll unlock new techniques to help make moving about the world more fluid and easier overall.
The techniques you should focus on first include:
High Jump
High Jump is the first skill in the parkour tree and easily one of the most useful in the game.
What does it do? High Jump allows you to, as the name implies, jump a bit higher and reach tough-to-grasp ledges. You simply hold down the jump button a tad bit longer than normal. Easy!
Safe Landing
If you’re like me, you likely fell to your death countless times as you learned the intricacies of parkour in Dying Light 2.
Thankfully, the Safe Landing skill perk helps make traversing the rooftops a tough bit safer.
The Safe Landing perk allows you to fall from greater heights without taking life-ending damage. To acquire this skill, however, you need the Active Landing skill, one parkour point, and a total of 160 stamina.
Firm Grip
It’ll happen eventually. You’ll run and leap from one rooftop and slightly miss the next, inevitably falling to an untimely death.
But with the Firm Grip skill, Aiden will leap across that same gap and grab hold of the ledge with…well, a firm grip.
While falling, hold the jump button to grab a nearby ledge and avoid fall damage.
Fast Climb
With so much of the game focusing on verticality, the ability to quickly scramble up the side of a building or other scaling point becomes a godsend.
Seriously, invest in Fast Climb early on to rapidly ascend and thereby use less of your previous stamina pool.
Utilizing the perk in-game is as easy as moving forward, backward, or side-to-side while climbing on ledges.
Crowd Runner
There are a lot of zombies in Dying Light 2. At times, you’ll want to sprint through the crowds instead of stopping to fight, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
With the Crowd Runner perk, zombies ahead of you won’t stop you in your tracks. Instead, you’ll run through the same group without losing momentum by gracefully stepping between and around bodies.
With so many parkour skills to choose from, these five should keep you one step ahead of both zombies and Renegades!
