Overview
- The game’s progression spans three trees—Conditioning, Mobility, and Survival—with roughly 45 skills that mostly have five ranks and higher perks gated by point thresholds such as 15 and 36.
- PC Gamer advises opening with Mobility stamina perks like Marathon Runner and Youthful Lungs and folding in Conditioning’s Used to the Weight to offset shield slowdown.
- Survival-focused picks such as In‑Round Crafting, Looter's Instincts, Looter's Luck, Broad Shoulders, and the 36‑point Security Breach materially speed looting, boost carry capacity, and unlock Security Lockers.
- Destructoid publishes a solo build through level 50 that spreads points across Mobility and Survival with key nodes including Calming Stroll, Revitalizing Squat, Silent Scavenger, and Broad Shoulders, while proposing end-goal nodes like Security Breach or Back on Your Feet.
- Destructoid also ranks standout skills, reinforcing Mobility essentials such as Vaults on Vaults on Vaults and Slip and Slide, and notes a launch level cap of 75 for continued progression.
