Dying Light 2: All Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered

It’s like starting over but with all your toys and none of your dignity. Basically, you start over the story from the very beginning, but without losing the weapons, armor, skill upgrades, and so on. The human enemies and zombies will become a bit harder, and you’ll be able to find even more of those boxes to help you level up even further and hit those Legendary points.

Thousands are still parkouring their way through zombie-infested rooftops. Although there isn’t a specific number provided by Techland, in all of our tests we were able to quickly find other players and join their worlds.

Unlock Metro Stations (because apparently even zombies respect public transport routes). The more Metro Stations you unlock, the more fast-travel options you’ll have, and you can fast-travel to any of them by opening your map, hovering over the Metro Station of your choice with your cursor, and clicking on F. Unfortunately, each Station is full of infected or human enemies, so it may take a little time until you’ve unlocked them all.

Complete the “Broadcast” mission and avoid becoming a zombie dinner.

Weapons cannot be directly repaired. However, applying mods to your weapon will partially restore its durability.

Convince him that living is cooler than dying by choosing the right dialogue.

The game automatically saves progress. However, you can trigger a save manually by sleeping in a bed in any safe zone.

Visit a Craftmaster and trade Military Tech for upgrades. Upgrading your Paraglider in Dying Light 2 enhances its performance, making traversal across the city more efficient and safer. Flying zombies? No. Flying you? Yes.

To throw a weapon, equip a throwable item (e.g., throwing knives) and press the designated throw button. This function is available through your inventory or quick-access wheel. Perfect for when you want to look cool and miss entirely.

The best bows can be obtained by completing specific side quests, purchasing them from vendors, or unlocking them as rewards in high-level activities. You can start by completing those quests: “The Ballista Bow“, “The Nightrunner Bow“, “Aitor’s Bow“, and “The Lazarus Bow“.

Side with the Peacekeepers and level them up. Turns out, their love language is ballistic weaponry, and it’s the only way to get that. The Crossbow is unlocked at a specific Peacekeeper reward level.

To check the distance traveled, simply open your stats in the menu and you should see the distance at the left bottom side of your screen.

The Lost Armory quest involves finding and looting a hidden armory. It typically provides weapons or armor as a reward.

Loot chests, defeat enemies, complete quests, and explore the environment to find free weapons and armor throughout the game. Looking at your Pilgrim Outpost account is also another way of checking if Techland provides free weapons, armor, or skins (especially during events).

The main story takes approximately 20–30 hours to complete, depending on your playstyle and difficulty level. If you’re going for all the side-quests and challenges, it may take up to 60-70 hours until you complete everything there is.

Aligning with the Peacekeepers or Survivors changes the city’s environment, unlocks unique rewards, and alters the storyline. For example, if you fully upgrade the Peacekeepers, you’ll get a great crossbow and access many of the automated defenses and traps against zombies. If you go with the Survivors, you’ll get more zip lines and air vents for gliding, and better and faster overall mobility.

Yes, the game’s ending depends on your choices, especially those involving factions and key characters. It’s important to note that as the game provides the New Game Plus mode, you can always replay the story and make different decisions, but this time with upgraded skills, weapons, and more.

The map in Dying Light 2 is vast, with a total area of approximately 7 square kilometers of explorable terrain. It is significantly larger than the map in the original Dying Light (four times the size, to be exact). The verticality of the Central Loop and the dense details in Old Villedor make the map feel much larger than its physical dimensions. With hundreds of points of interest, the world offers countless hours of exploration.

Inhibitors are items used to upgrade health and stamina. They are found in GRE facilities, quarantine zones, and hidden containers. You can unlock even more inhibitors by replaying the story with the New Game Plus mode – which we did to maximize our stats.

Unfortunately, you cannot choose or play a female character in Dying Light 2. Techland has already said on their official website that, “The story of DYING LIGHT 2 is told through the eyes of a pre-defined male protagonist, whose name is Aiden Caldwell. There are no plans to adjust the narrative to a playable female character at this point.”

Unfortunately, you cannot. In Dying Light 2, vehicles are not a prominent feature of gameplay as they were in the original Dying Light: The Following. However, there is one key mission where you briefly drive a vehicle: The Nightrunners. During this mission, you are tasked with getting to the Missy, a stronghold located on a barge with a boat. So no cars, bikes, or anything else.

If you haven’t played the first and second installments, we highly recommend doing that first. Dying Light: The Beast will feature the return of Kale Crane, with he was the protagonist in the first Dying Light. Now, while Dying Light 2 is set 22 years after the events of Dying Light, we guess that the two protagonists may meet, so why not play and learn the whole story of both?

Dying Light 1 takes place in 2014, during the outbreak in Harran. Dying Light 2 is set in 2036, in a world where civilization has largely collapsed due to the spread of the virus on a global scale. There are no official words about the date that the Dying Light: The Beast will be set, but we’ll update this information once Techland officially releases them.

Dying Light 2 hasn’t just included a couple of different zombie types, they’ve got to a point that we can even categorize them. For starters, we have the basic infected, which are usually the Biters, Virals, and Degenerates. Then we have the special infected, which include the Howlers, Spitters, Suiciders, and Bolters. Last but not least, we have the powerful infected – which can be considered as bosses) – such as Demolishers, Volatiles, Goon, Banshee, and Charger – and maybe some other mutated and rare infected that you’ll meet in specific missions and zones.
