Progression and Strategy[]
Gymnastics can be tricky to level, as Zero-G environments aren't particularly common. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward.
Gymnastics can be a handy, if a bit niche, ability. The Fall Damage reductions are redundant with Boost Pack Training, as the player can use the boost pack to avoid fall damage entirely. The combat slide ability is neat, and can be useful to avoid fire when running cover to cover. However, the Combat Slide only requires the skill to be level 1. In terms of O2, the player may find the flat O2 boost from Fitness to be more useful than the situational bonuses from Gymnastics. However, if the player wants to be very good at fighting in Zero-G environments, Gymnastics is the way to go.
