Figuring out skills in Project Zomboid can be almost as stressful as dealing with the zombies in-game. In this guide, we've laid out not only how to level up in Mechanics but also the fastest way to do so with tips on the tools needed.
Project Zomboid Mechanics quick leveling guide
To level up in mechanics, you will need to repair cars or remove and install car parts. That said, you can more efficiently farm Mechanics XP by removing the following items from cars and reinstalling them:
- Car wheels
- Lightbulbs
You will need to start off small with the car parts listed above, as you will not be able to remove advanced parts until you gain a few levels. Focus on removing and reinstalling lightbulbs and car wheels until you level up a bit. Before you can start leveling mechanics, you will need the following tools:
- Jack
- Lug Wrench
If you don't know where you can find a Jack or a Lug Wrench, you can find both items in hardware stores, garages, tool cabinets, and car mechanic shops. Once you get both tools, you can then start leveling up your mechanics skills, and as you level up, you can move on to more advanced parts.
