How to play the Skinwalker

Upon spawning on the server, you will be playing alongside multiple players. Once the night begins, the Skinny is least likely to only come after you. Keeping this in mind, always save your stamina for later. Before the Skinny attacks, it will growl with rage. At that moment, you will have to sprint and that requires some stamina. So it is recommended that you avoid running when it isn't needed.

An important thing to keep in mind is that it's possible to fight back against the Skinny. For that, you will need a weapon like a Rifle or Shovel. While you can get the Shovel from the in-game shop, weapons like Rifle are obtained from the Armory. You will be notified when an Armory is available.

To gain the most number of survival and credits, your best course of action is definitely playing with a team. With a team, you can easily deal with the Skinny and even toy with it. However, before that, make sure everyone has a weapon.
