Skill Moves

Now that you’ve digested your “Brain Food,” let’s move on to dessert. Here we expose the many manly skill moves Chuck learns as he levels up, along with the vast array of lethal weapons he’s able to wield, including all combo weapons Chuck constructs at maintenance rooms.

A complete list of combo cards and their locations is also provided to ensure you get the most out of each deadly device.

Struggling for survival brings out the best in Chuck. Though Fortune City’s foremost stuntman starts off green (pun intended, sorry), he soon develops a variety of combat-oriented skills that improve his odds of overcoming the endless ordeals he must face.

Like stats, Chuck’s skills unlock as he levels up—and similarly, you never know exactly when he’ll gain a new one.

One thing remains constant, however: Chuck’s skills always unlock in sequence, as detailed in the following table (The first skill Chuck will learn is the backdrop, and the last will be the Pick Up). By the time Chuck hits level 50 (the maximum), all skills will have unlocked.

A few of Chuck’s skills are passive, such as the DDT and backdrop — Chuck automatically employs these skill when breaking away from a zombie’s grasp, provided he escapes quickly.

The majority of skills require your input, however. Pause and review their individual button commands under the “Skills” portion of the Status menu.
