Dead Island: Kicks don’t waste stamina
A lot of your character’s major movements and actions, like sprinting or swing a weapon, consume stamina. This is tracked on your character’s stamina bar. The good news is kicking doesn’t use up stamina. Use this move to stagger enemies while you get an opportunity to wind up and launch a powerful blow to the zombie enemy’s face. This also helps you minimize weapons degradation. Kicking them helps you maximize your weapon attacks by setting them up for better weapon damage.
