I remember you talking about being nervous infront of a camera I'm proud of you! Hope to see more face cam when you feel comfortable.

Yes i was super nervous and since i am camera shy you could see me trying to limit my movement lol but i hope slowly it will become better.

It's because he knows kyle is coming back ( probably)

Since We Got Nightmare Mode, We need Gun Mods because it makes Firearms more useful such as Elemental Muzzles, Extended Fast Magazines, Long Barrels, Ammo Mods, Scopes, Bayonets ETC.

We don't " need" them it's just a " want" thing

[@BestGamerAli]

I saw a mod from Bub that added these things in the game, so i know this addition will be cool.

[@pelesiren4959]

I really think suppressors would be the best thing they could add to the guns. Also scopes. I rarely use the guns because 1) they're difficult to aim accurately 2) too loud , draws virals right away and 3) bows are way stronger

[@laidant6544]

It sounds like the kind of mod support they want to add is similar to Bethesda's mod support for Fallout 4 and Skyrim. I think having that would make it infinitely more replayable for all platforms, and would be amazing.

the hope its true because the game really needs some good content

[@Firebird0913]

I just played nightmare mode today, it's freaking awesome! I did notice the biters are more aggressive and just generally more realistic and scary in their behaviors. I love that we're getting skins for the grapple hook now too! I just got to legend 300 and finished upgrading every blueprint recently and now we have nightmare mode. Every time I think I've done it all in this game they go and add something new. God bless you Techland!

[@shorbie1991]

Im impressed by how these guys really care about the fanbase. They support the players 100% and they are so smart, not like other games where a bad bundle can cost you 15-20$ when you already paid 100$ just a few months before. Instead the normal thing here is 5 bucks for a good bundle. Same when it comes to updates, i dare to say i speak for 90% of all gamers when i say that we all demand and need/want fresh content very often and this is also one thing they done superb, almost every month they put out something for us to do. Even if it's a small event at least they are up to date compare to others. Say for example BF2042, we have to wait at least 5 months between the big updates. Sometime it can take up to 6-7 months. Techland are aware of our demands/wishes and they try to do the best of the situation whole the time. That's the main reason i'm still playing many hours per week 2 years in to this game. When DL2 came out it was my top 1 game, and still this very day i would say it's my top 1 game. Now we got a new cool mode, within 1.5-2 months we will have DLC 2. I just wonder what will come after that ? Really hope they got more fun stuff for us in the future. Ninja bundle/event within 2 weeks ? Seems so!

​@@BestGamerAliali sorry just one question for u Do u think it Will possible to download and play de E3 parkour mod animations and more like the players play on PC But in console when they added mod support?

[@sfierro518]

Honestly a bit disappointed to hear the Renaissance team is leaning towards more of the independent route. I could see why they would, but i would have loved to see them collaborate more with the dying light team to try and make it officially collaborated in the game so all players consoles and pc could appreciate and enjoy.

[@BestGamerAli]

I would like to correct something here. It looks like Tymon got confused because Renaissance never wanted to go on an independent route. i was there during one of the meetings with a developer and the renaissance wanted to work/collab with Techland to make this a possibility.. In fact they were helping them with few things too. So maybe Tymon was confused and got this info wrong. but regardless Renaissance is not going on an independent route.

[@sfierro518]

@BestGamerAli Okay, that's awesome to hear, glad to see the possibility is real afterall. Thanks! And thank you for the great content Ali.
