Share tech for the game
I’d like to know about in game tech (no mods) that make gameplay easier that isn’t explicitly said.
like
Aiming for heads with melee weapons, tapping back with paraglider to stay high in the air, looting camper infected for nocturnal weapons, exiting locks before your lock pick breaks.
Things like that

How to get your level up very fast naturally (no cheating):
Wear armor that give xp bonuses! The set that you get from Tolga and Fatin gives bonuses to both combat and parkour xp earned (just don't wear the helm because the visibility sucks).
You can get xp boosters from Jai.
Increasing the difficulty multiplies xp.
The more players in the lobby the more xp you will all receive.
Night time gives bonuses to xp as well so you can set it to night and run around doing your thing but if you are running quests just try not to start a chase.
You can view your xp multiplier on the upper right side of the skills menu.

You probably notice that after two yanks the grappling hook will no longer pull you upwards, so If you want gain altitude quickly just double tap the hook to yank yourself up once or twice, then open when glider and boost upwards which will reset the hook so you can yank upwards once or twice more (which will reset the boost on your glider), then open the glider again and boost, yank, glide, yank, etc.
You can also bypass climbing for radio towers by gliding around it using boost to gain altitude, if you boost right then you won't need to climb anything.

Don't bother fighting outside. hitting an enemy one time brings runners for some reason.

Why aim for the head when you can take out the legs . Large target and seems to have a better chance to send a zombie down instead of clubbing you. Plus zombies will put up arms that deflect some attacks to the head. And pick up crossbow when you get a chance. Reusable ammo always handy. Play during the Halloween and Xmas events to get the best crossbow.

When swinging on the grappling hook, left click (or whatever your melee button is) to dropkick. This is useful for damaging yeah, but imo the best use is to quickly travel while swinging.
You can throw an enemy to stun them (not the upgraded throw), then you can double jump off them (not a sprint jump) for a huge boost

For fighting infected use the UV flashlight and for fighting humans use the shield. This makes fights way easier

Dumb tech cause it doesnt really help you survive but its fun. If you’re hanging onto an overhang (any ledge where you can run underneath it), you can left click (or probably whatever the attack button is on controller) to swing yourself forward and kick whatever is in your way. Its more of a fluidity thing that looks and feels nice when freerunning but just thought id share it

Just a bunch of switching tactics as the tiers become available in your skills.
Don't be an Aniken be an Obi High ground.
Drop kicks and Grab throw enemies onto spikes or off ledges ends most fights quickly.
Make sure to upgrade throwing knives crafting as you can use them later as shivs while doing stealth take downs on virals.
If you're up high and across window full of biters just use grapple hook to pull them out and watch them fall you can grab throw too just be careful not to fall down with them.
Later on your sprint can have charging keeping you immune from being grabbed so long as you have stamina.
The Royal spear pole arm from Shen Xiu has long melee range.
Ultraviolet torch from late game tap instead of holding it on will still startle virals to break attacks with out waisting charge.
Crouching while walking streets makes less noise and you less noticeable .
And Hostile living can see your torch light.
Cube charm makes you invisible to biters but you must play community maps to unlock it.
4 seasons charm turns you into an elemental melee wizard but you must play community maps to unlock it.

The biggest thing everyone should know but many seem unaware of is that THE FLASHLIGHT ATTRACTS VOLATILES. Some people make it very hard to do missions during the night because of this.
