Dying Light 2 boasts one of the most robust and satisfying parkour systems of recent triple-A titles. You can jump (and triple jump, soon enough), slide, and crash onto just about anything throughout the entire city of Villedor. Savvy movers are amply rewarded for their skills when it comes to agility.

While parkour skills develop naturally for most players, you can gain an edge by forming certain habits and remembering useful tricks. In Dying Light 2, parkour skills are paramount for an efficient and fun playthrough. Quick and adept movement can make the difference between replaying an entire section of a quest, or between scoring gold and silver in a parkour challenge. Most importantly, of course, if you're playing online, you'd be remiss not to show up to your friends by beating them to every objective. Here are some ways to start to master the game's movement mechanics.

9 Look For Anything In Your Environment You Can Use

The developers of Dying Light 2 did a fantastic job of making the city of Villedor a literal and figurative playground. Whether you're jumping on rooftops in Old Villedor or dodging infected on the streets of The Central Loop, there is always something to take advantage of in your periphery.

Some elements may be more obvious, like winches to get you to rooftops or mattresses to cushion your fall. However, it is still important to always be scanning for less common elements. Poles, ropes, and bridges are littered throughout the city, and can make the difference between staying safe at night or getting stuck on a detour through the infected streets.

8 Movement Upgrades Are Invaluable

While it may be tempting to upgrade the Stamina tree to get the fun zombie-killing mechanics first, prioritizing quick and safe movement can lead to smoother runs and fewer deaths. Upgrades like Safe Landing and Firm Grip allow you to keep on the rooftops and avoid fall damage, extending and cleaning your parkour lines.

After safety upgrades, prioritize smoothness (upgrades like Slide Jump or Tic Tac). Quick climbing and sliding allows you to keep up your speed even when scaling great heights or running around cars.

7 Give Resources To Survivors Whenever Possible

When unlocking structures such as water towers, you have the choice to give control of the subsequent resources to the Peacekeepers or the Survivors. Choosing a faction changes control of territory, alters the aesthetics of certain buildings and, most importantly, earns you an upgrade. For budding parkour professionals, the choice is generally always the same.

Peacekeeper control helps with combat against those pesky zombies and other foes, while Survivor control earns you a movement buff. While both factions offer valuable upgrades to their areas, there are only a finite number of such resources available. Turning the whole map into a parkour playground is possible, but polarizing. It's for the player to decide just how much they want TO lean into this side of things.

6 Upgrade Your Paraglider

While not technically parkour, per se, the paraglider is paramount in navigating the city quickly, particularly the Central Loop. It allows you to travel great distances (both horizontally and vertically), avoid enemies, and get some of the best views in the game.

After meeting Lawan and unlocking the Nightrunner Tool, it is advantageous to grab some military tech, head to a craftsmaster, and upgrade your gravity-defying device. Even with only the first upgrade, the speed and agility improvement provides the ability to leap from any building on the map without worry. You'll get where to wherever you're going faster and in style, the number one priority of any parkour-dedicated player.

5 Wear The Right Clothing

Clothing can make a huge difference in Dying Light 2. It's easy to spend a good amount of time scrutinizing which garments to wear, as their buffs do make a good amount of difference in gameplay.

Try to stay away from the heavier clothing classes, like the Tank or Brawler, and stick to classes that prioritize speed and stamina. The Medic and the Ranger are two great options for those players who want to focus on speed and agility. Clothes can provide the perfect speed boost, or a much-needed stamina bonus when you're chasing enemies all around Villedor.

4 Be Very Mindful Of Enemies And Their Positions

You are bound to run into an enemy or two while traversing the city. During the day, the infected aren't much of a problem, but running into renegades can throw off a smooth run. The solution is simple: keep running. Unless you have a reason to engage, dealing with combat will slow you down, throw you off, and probably inflict some damage you can't afford to take.

At night, things are a little different. There are less human enemies out and about, but the infected become a huge threat. Falling into the street is almost a sure-fire way to start a chase or a desperate fight that may cost precious resources. Such a situation can be a slight blessing in disguise, however: While it's horrifying, a chase is great practice for reaching an objective as quickly and efficiently as possible.

3 Gather And Use Inhibitors Quickly

It may seem obvious, but you might underestimate how enticing it is to follow the story and ignore all side quests and Inhibitor chests (there's such a wide range of distractions available, after all). However, not only will nabbing Inhibitors whenever possible allow you to flesh out your skill trees, but it will also make story quests and combat a little easier. Boosting your stamina (and health) with Inhibitors makes longer lines possible, and unlocks new levels of movement.

It's important to keep your health and stamina balanced when using Inhibitors, but if you want to prioritize movement, it's suggested to start with stamina, then follow with help. You could even go in a two-to-one pattern if you're confident in your combat skills.

2 Dedicate Some Time To Simply Exploring The City

The city of Villedor is filled with secrets, loot, and unique encounters. Simply exploring it is a great way to master parkour (all players will end up doing it). Remembering every nook and cranny is virtually impossible, but memorizing the location of a bridge (or even a jump pad) could make the difference between a quick jolt and a long detour.

It also helps to be able to orientate yourself by large landmarks, as they help you navigate with or without your HUD. If you become familiar with certain prominent aspects of the skyline, you'll be able to quickly discern your general location no matter where you are.

1 Learn To Improvise, Don't Stop For Anything

Dying Light 2 shares a mantra with other movement-heavy games: don't stop. Even if you don't know where you're going or if you have to jump into nothingness, stopping is the simplest way to end up in parkour purgatory.

While sizing up the best route to a given destination is a great skill to have, it will come naturally (and quicker) if you just have faith that you can keep up your speed and keep away from danger. Keep on keeping on, and eventually you'll have full confidence no matter where you are on the map. No hidden collectible (such as those devious Black Ducks) will be safe.
