Power Attack is a Power skill in Dying Light.

Tactics

• With certain Sharp Weapons, one can cut through certain Infected when using this skill.
• It is a useful alternative before the player unlocks Takedown as it is unlocked in Power Level 13.
• It is still useful against unsuspecting Volatiles when the player is under Camouflage, for an opening attack.
• Beware as charging up a Power Attack prevents the player from running, to cancel a power attack, simply press your [KICK] button.
• Stamina Booster and certain Power Skills such as Combat Adept can allow one to mitigate the stamina consumption from this skill.

Trivia

• Despite its description, light 2-handed weapons such as Bats and Long Swords still use Power Attack instead of Windmill.
