Dying Light 2: Stay Human has separate Combat and Parkour skill trees. The supplied guide describes Combat Points and Parkour Points gained from their corresponding activities, with bonus experience at night that is lost if Aiden dies before reaching a safe zone. These records cover named combat moves, ranged-shot abilities, and traversal skills, including their described effects and stated prerequisites. Some skills require another skill, a Health or Stamina threshold, or a particular situation to use. This reference explains recorded functions and gates without comparing effectiveness. The supplied passages do not establish weapon mod effects, gear bonuses, or a complete progression path.
If you want to understand counters and enemy control, start with Grapple, Perfect Dodge, and Block Charge; check each listed prerequisite and condition.
If you use ranged weapons, read Precise Aiming and Power Shot together: the guide describes aiming zoom and added armor piercing and damage as separate effects.
If movement is your priority, compare High Jump, Active Landing, and Dart; their recorded effects cover jump reach, landing recovery, and a stamina-costing sprint.
The guide says some skills require earlier tree skills, and some abilities also require upgrading maximum Health or Stamina using GRE inhibitors. A named skill is not necessarily immediately available.
Combat and free-running at night award bonus experience, but the guide says those additional points are lost if Aiden is killed before reaching a safe zone.
The described effects can be situational: Block Projectiles calls for a block just before impact, while Block Charge’s roof-fall outcome depends on using it near an edge.
