Yes they do that because they are super hyper and out of control, but when they do get it right, they can chase and beat you down. I was on top of a light pole in Old Town, as I watch in horror as the virals jump from light pole to light pole to beat me down. I was like damn the virals really can do that to me?

I like it a lot as well. Kinds dumb how in the first game the infection completely stopped when not doing story missions, but considering antizin drops stopping was part of the story it makes sense as the player couldn't get it from the drops in freeroam. Could still buy it but lore wise it would be expensive and rare to find which shouldn't be the case for something that is needed for survival.

[@Goldfox2112]

Just to add, I've seen volatiles spawn rarely in pursuit level 3 stage, maybe once every two or three waves. Also, they're only also the base volatile. I've been abusing a meat grinder and I've been beating up a ton of volatiles, and at level 4, you can not break off the chase unless you get to a safe zone, which is good to know. On a completely unrelated note, virals and volatiles still spawn while zombies are fleeing, meaning you can kill them as they spawn, for some easy items. If you have enough damage, you can kill volatiles by attacking them when they crawl out, and then using a UV flare to force their "recoil" animation and/or ranged attacks to kill them as they run. Also, when volatiles are running away due to the daybreak, at either exactly 6 or 7 am, if you hit them enough, they will reaggro and pounce you. I fired a few arrows at a fleeing volatile, and one of them stopped, turned, and screamer "fuck off" in Volatile language before pouncing on me, at chase level 4. Good advice for anyone trying to farm. I've grinded out thousands of gold and gotten maxed out unique for one upgrade, and close to unique for two others, and it is worth it. If you want, I can share my grinding location to hit survivor rank 4 and level 10 (as of now) in combat. I've hit level 10 in parkour, and this is a side effect of chase level 4 not breaking off when out of sight, all you need to do is rack up level 4 and then find a secluded area which isn't a safe area and an entrance guarded by UV light, and you can do it easy. I didn't even realise the revenant could do anything you said cuz I killed him with a bow that I got for sale from the bazaar trader lmao. Update: level 4 chase was ended without entering a safe zone as of today, probably a patch to abuse grinding parlour xp lol

[@ianvancauwenberg1982]

If I'm not wrong volatiles can come out at chase level 3 (I swear I saw them in one of Onis gameplay videos), might be tied to difficulty though, like we don't know the details yet.

Scariest part about these zombie types is the fact that there c o u l d be more that techland have kept under wraps to catch us off guard. There’s already so many too. I mean probably not but it would certainly be a huge surprise to see a special we haven’t seen before jump us in the middle of a chase.

[@wonderfall327]

This would actually be really awesome. Would be cool if there was a set number of survivors in the city and such, and when you lose a safe haven, all the survivor's in it die. You can get more survivors by upgrading settlements and reclaiming safe zones. Kind of like Fallout 4 mixed with Dying Light.

[@leonburgosmeneses8468]

Fun Fact: The game possible explaining of why the zombies can't swim (as I said, more related to the virus in the game story, not the game development) it's given by Dr. Zere in Dying Light 1, as he says that the Harran Virus is a variant from the rabies, which causes a severe hidrophobia on their victims... therefore, giving it some more lore to why the infected don't do well in water...

[@theportaldestroyer9487]

The sad thing is how the drowners came out. In my first play through I turned the pumps on to reveal the drowners, Yet when you're in the sunken city for that part of the mission. The Drowners make it almost unplayable. They're everywhere in the sunken city and act as virals mixed with bombers and make it insanely hard to play and explore that area and it makes me so sad as I was really interested in the sunken city and the drowners and they turn out to be a huge pain.

The drowner was really disappointing, it was just a viral mix with a bomber. It would have been great if they could actually chase down players who thought diving into bodies of water was safe, only for them to dive in after them and maybe try to grapple players as too as their name implies, drown them. Maybe in future DLC and updates, we will see more enemy types variations like the alpha volatile in "the following".

The volatiles in Dying Light 2 definitely seem a lot more human in appearance compared to the first appearance in Dying Light 1, where the virus had just started. I'd like to think that the Volatiles in Dying Light 1 were a lot stronger than the ones in Dying Light 2 due to the hosts being recently infected and it's body still fresh.

The bombers can be encountered when the missiles are launched, and they'll be found in radiation areas (smokey areas that have many virals, and acts like nighttime, regardless of time of day.

About the drowner. As of right now, i believe their character model is glitched. As I have seen them spawn next to mr while swimming the the flooded area, but when they do spawn, they spawn dead due to possible techland forgetting to remove the death feature from them when they interact with water. That could be the reason why. For anyone wanting to test it for themselves, try going in the flooded are and jump in the water. And there is a possibility of a drowner randomly spawning but dead.
