This World War Z Skills Guide gives general information with hints and tips that I have learned while leveling up. That said, each Class has unique skills that can be unlocked as you level up that specific class. In all there are 27 skills you can choose from, with three additional skills “mandatory” but free. Those three skills come at Level 10, 20 and 30. Although you have 27 skills to choose from you can only have 9 active at a time (+3 mandatory skills). From the skill screen you can see that there are 9 columns in which you can choose one in each column. We recommend deciding ahead of time what skills you think you’ll want to go and spending the credits on those instead of buying them all.
What does each skill cost:
Lvl 10, 20, 30 are Free
2 – 9: 150 Credits Each
11 – 14: 250 Credits Each
15 – 19: 350 Credits Each
21 – 29: 500 Credits Each
Total Credits (Max*) required to buy one in each column: 2750
Total Credits Required to buy them all: 8600
*Meaning if you choose the most expensive item in column 7.
XP Required Per Level:
Levels 2 – 8: 1250XP per Level
Levels 9 – 14: 1500XP per Level
Levels 15 – 19: 1750XP per Level
Levels 20 – 25: 2000XP per Level
Levels 25 – 29: 2500XP per Level
Level 30: 3500XP
Earned per game/round:
Choosing the most efficient difficulty to play is really determined by what you want to achieve. Obviously the harder the difficulty the higher the rewards. That being said I have found that jumping in a Quick Match on Normal Difficulty is extremely easy to farm, even with the randoms you get paired with. Playing on hard is also a very farm-able route in quick match / solo but I have found that playing on normal is far easier and the reward you get isn’t worth the higher difficulty. If you’re looking for a challenge with your friends then I definitely recommend the higher tiers as coordinated play on comms, choosing classes and skills that mesh together well, etc is all far easier to do then just hopping into randoms.
