State of Decay 2 update 5.0, the Zedhunter update, added some new items known as training manuals that let you repick the advanced skills of your 4 core skills. It goes a bit further by also allowing you to choose from the options your character previously did not have access to which means you can more heavily customize each survivor… so which is best? Striking (blunt), Swordplay (blades), or Close Combat (knives?) Let’s find out.

Close combat looks the coolest so it’s the best
Thanks buddy i took a year off playing this game and needed a refresher class haha this was a perfect video!
All are useless as u can just grab from behind, shove, quick stab instant kill.
Is cqc effective against hostiles
knockdown weapons is harder to use against blood plague zombies since they tend to be faster and more spread out than regular zombies.
Swordplay is good overall
Have these skills changed enough over the years to warrant redoing these vids? The question goes for all your skill comparison videos, im just curious. Thanks for the content and dedication, much appreciated
I'm thinking stealth and sword plays the way they go for taking out juggernauts.
I cant lie I always chose swordplay for the longest but now I'm thinking I should be using striking for taking down plague hearts and close combat for looting
Acrobatics + Swordplay is OP or Stealth
I love the close combat skill but i got a problem every time i want survivor to learn close combat skill it doesn’t show like it just shows striking skill and endruance skill i always use close combat fighting type for this survivor and it always doesn’t show close combat skill in the skills list pls i need help with this how can i let my survivor learn close combat skill do i have like when every time i see i zombie do i have like to do some move to show close combat skill or what?
I suppose this was made before powerhouse and heavy weapons were a thing. Heavy weapons+powerhouse beat striking with a mace any day. Though my personal fav is powerhouse+close combat. Pretty op really.
close combat does have 1 thing that doesn't make them cosmetic weight. But we don't talk about that.
Coming back to this vid cause I noticed acrobatics and close combat is pretty good and satisfying. If you dont have a melee equipped, the running jump attack insures that you knock down most enemies with a flying kick which is pretty cool too.
Plus CQC you save weight/inventory slot! There for getting those benefits too
These are the tips I wish I knew when I started playing SoD2 but I guess it's fun in it's own way learning all this. It was cool to learn the over the shoulder toss.
Endurance? Did we forget this skill?
I like striking the most
Don't forget powerhouse
Blades for single targets, shotgun for the other things
CQC is definitely my favorite one to use against zombies.
Sadly in online play it suffers really badly during lag, making it almost useless.
Like the grabs and throws stop working properly, and zombies start dealing damage to you simply because you're close.
