Sprinting	This skill affects how fast your character moves around, jogging or sprinting. This includes a sneak jog.	The best way to level this is to simply jog everywhere, and you should see results.
Lightfooted	This skill determines how loud your character is running around or sneaking around.	The best way to level is to sneak around zombies.
Nimble	This skill determines how fast your character is in the character’s stance, and how graceful you climb fences. The fast strafing is a real benefit to have, as it makes backing up during combat much more safe and much more risk-free.

Sneaking	This skill determines how detectable your character actually is.	The best way to level is to sneak around zombies.

Firearm

Skill Name	Description	best way to level
Aiming	This skill determines your headshot and normal hit rate range and recoil time. To start off, you’ll probably won’t be able to hit the broad side of a barn so this skill is needed to use more skill-based guns such as pistols or rifles.	The best way to level this is to simply shoot zombies with shotguns. Of course, the shotgun is the loudest variant of a gun but it also does the most amount of damage and it kills the most amount of zombies per shot. The XP is actually calculated off of accumulated overall damage and since shotguns are the highest damaging and easiest to shoot, they’re a really easy way to level up your shooting skill.
Reloading	This skill also essentially just determines how fast you can reload your guns.	Leveling this is pretty easy as all you have to do is have a gun and ammo. After that, all you need to do is unload and reload the same gun over and over for XP.

Survivalist

Fishing	This skill is used to catch fish and increases the chance to catch more and larger fish.	The best way to level this is to fish around the times of 6 am to 9 am and 6 pm to 9 pm. Catching anything will increase your fishing skill, whether it’s an old pair of shoes or a huge pike. Though catching larger fish does net the more xp you’d actually get.
Trapping	This skill is used to set traps and increases the chance that you catch something in your set traps.	The only way you can actually level up the skill is by harvesting your traps with animals in them.
Foraging	This skill allows you to find more materials and resources in the woods, such as insects, berries, and mushrooms. The higher skill allows you to find more variety in objects, an example would be being able to find crickets and other insects at level four plus foraging. The cool thing about insects is actually how much hunger they reduce and how they are non-perishable, so this is actually a really good way to prepare for winter without bringing out the butter and ice cream because you can essentially just forage for like a week straight and stockpile hundreds upon hundreds of cockroaches, crickets, grasshoppers, whatever it takes.	This can be leveled by going into search mode to find and pick up items.
