Using the Kick in Dying Light 2 can be really fun, and dangerously effective

When players use a Kick on an enemy in Dying Light 2 it sends them into a stagger. This is extremely useful for buying players the time that they need in order to follow up with another attack.

Players stagger an enemy and then follow up with an attack and effectively stun-lock any target by changing back and forth from Kick, Attack, Kick, Attack. This is a safe method for targeting harder enemies.

Players can perform Kicks easily by performing a combination of button presses depending on the system that they are currently using:

• PC: Block Button + Attack Button
• Xbox: LB + RT
• Playstation: L1 + R2

Using these combinations is easy and will allow players to do the stun-lock combo as mentioned above. This skill can easily be incorporated into just about any fighting style as well.

Players can explore a multitude of options by using Kicks in non-traditional ways

One may think that using a Kick is pretty straightforward, you Kick an enemy and it staggers them. That is true, but players can use Kick to create special results as well.

For example, a player can use Kick to knock an enemy off a rooftop, or even Kick them into a fire, causing them to take damage. Players who Kick enemies off of a high ledge can even have them die from fall damage.
