Unturned skills

What every skill level does, what it costs in XP, which skillset makes it half price, and which recipes need it, read from the game files of Unturned 3.26.3.14. Plus where XP comes from, what dying costs you, and the curated maps that start you with skills or lock them.

Picks

Worked out from the tables below. Costs are XP on a default server, starting from level 0.

How many skills are there in Unturned?

22, in 3 groups: Offense (7), Defense (7), Support (8). They have 114 levels between them.

How much XP does it take to max every skill?

3,350 XP. 22 skills, 114 levels. As a Thief it's 3,110 XP, the least any skillset pays.

Which skillset is best in Unturned?

For crafting and building, Worker: it halves Crafting and Engineer, which 253 recipes need, and Mechanic too. To save the most XP overall, Thief: half price on Parkour and Sneakybeaky saves 240 XP getting them to max, and those 12 levels are never lost on death.

Do you lose skills when you die in Unturned?

On a default server, yes: each death takes 1 level on Normal, 2 on Hard and none on Easy from random skills, but never from your skillset's skills. You also keep only 50% of the XP you haven't spent.

All skills

Offense, then Defense, then Support, as in the game's skill menu. A level costs more XP than the one before it. "XP per level" lists the price of each level in order. Your skillset halves its own skills' prices (rounded down).

Skillsets

You pick a skillset when you make a character. It doesn't give you any levels. It makes two or three skills half price, and those skills never lose levels when you die (both are on by default; servers can turn them off). Civilian favours nothing.

How to get XP

All of it is multiplied by the server's Experience_Multiplier (Easy 1.5, Normal 1, Hard 1.5).

What dying costs you

Boosts

For 25 XP the skill menu rolls one of 4 boosts at random, never the one you already have. It lasts until you die.

Skills on curated maps

Some curated maps set their own skill rules: a level everyone starts with, a lower maximum, or a different price. "Locked" means the skill stays at that level. The server can switch all of this off with Prevent_Level_Skill_Overrides. The official maps keep the normal rules.
