Developer Techland has shared a brief primer explaining howDying Light 2’s two skill trees work, ahead of the game’s release in February.

In ashort video, Techland explained that players will have access to a combat skill tree and a parkour skill tree. The combat tree is dedicated entirely to unlocking and improving your combat skills, while parkour skills improve your movement capabilities.

Some examples of skills include a grapple to throw enemies to the side using their momentum and a double jump to reach higher areas.

There are separate combat and parkour experience points. So, for example, beating enemies will only net you points you can spend on the combat skill tree. Also, performing well in combat and using complex and skillful movements for parkour will reward you with more points. Completing quests will grant experience points for both skill trees.
