If you’re diving into Saber Interactive’s newest title, then chances are you’re already kneedeep in the blood and gore of World War Z.

Unlike other games in the genre, though, World War Z focuses heavily on classes and individual skills. If you’re planning on playing as the Medic, then you’re going to need to know all about the Medic Skills in World War Z. We can help.

World War Z Best Medic Builds

Finding the best Medic build really all depends on the type of Medic that you want to play. If you’re trying to play a more offensive based playstyle, then Medic Skills like Navy Seal and Combat Medic are skills to utilize. While more support focused skills like Hollywood will work better for those trying to help their team the most. Of course, your current build will also rely heavily upon which skills you have unlocked and available to you, which makes fleshing out any builds difficult in World War Z.

Just like with the other classes here, there’s really no wrong or right way to play the Medic class in World War Z. In all honesty, this class might not even be needed that much depending on how well your squad plays. Because of this, it’s easy to make the Medic class work well as a support or offensive based character, though you won’t find as many good skills on hand here as you will in other classes in the game.

When it comes down to it, there are quite a few Medic Skills available in World War Z, but none really make the class stand out that much from other classes who offer far better offensive and defensive skills. Still, though, players who enjoy playing support will find themselves right at home running the Medic class.
