Dying Light 2: 10 Things The Game DOESN'T TELL YOU

That lock picking upgrade sounds like a godsend. If it’s anything like the first game you’ll have hundreds of lock picks, so “spending” the extra pick to instantly open seems like it’s cutting out an inconvenience, which is all lock picking was in the first game, for the most part.

There is actually a developer charm called “korek” in reference to the korek machete from dying light 1. It gives you unlimited repair. You can find the charm in the developer room in Dying light 2 after sitting at the table in all 4 spots and a note appears for it. There’s also a finger gun in the other room. But this charm has +500 durability repair so added onto a weapon it adds 500 repair to the health of the weapon and you can keep applying it over and over to in turn “repair” the weapon an unlimited amount of times.

The best infected trophy farming that I've found was standing in the entrance to a metro that you have unlocked. Similar to the truck, it choke-points the infected. The only difference is that the metros have UV lights to protect you from getting completely overwhelmed, especially at chase level 3 and 4 when Volatiles come out to play

They come out at Chase level 1 for me.

[@kinorris1709]

@@USERTM7 that's because they updated the game to have more volatiles due to the backlash from fans of the original. Volatiles were the whole reason the night was dangerous and scary in DL1, so to have them only appear at level 3 chase or in dark zones, was kinda lame. So now, there are roaming Volatiles that can occasionally join chases if you get too close.

Having played about 6hours tonight with my friends, I will say this game feels like Dying Light in a very good way! Playing coop with friends was an absolute blast tonight and the most I have laughed/shrieked while playing in a long time. Some silly bugs here and there but nothing game breaking so far. If you are looking for an amazing story, probably not the game for you. But the core zombie killing, parkour free running mechanics feel right at home after about an hour of playing.

you missed two big ones that I found very helpful. honestly don't remember if they were mentioned in a tutorial but I stumbled across these actions on my own.. 1. if you're playing with a controller, pressing Y or Triangle will make you spin 180 degrees instantly. you can do this while running. and if you HOLD that button you will keep running forward and look over your shoulder. and using a throwable weapon while looking over the shoulder will throw it behind you while being chased. 2. if you're looking straight down at the ground or an enemy on the ground and you use the "Kick" action, you will do a soccer kick instead of a heel kick. (and a hot tip for the howlers at night would be to shoot them in the head with an arrow from the roofs and then go to collect the trophies after you've cleared the area out.

I’d throw the machete to stun them for a sec. Then run at them with my katana, do that stepping vault move, 180 in the air and activate the drop attack move. It was soooo satisfying.

I have a friend who thinks I'm slow at games. He doesn't read collectibles or notes to get any backstory or even stop when there is an amazing veiw. He sometimes even skips through some dialogue. The worst is when he denies he does any of this but then asks how you do a certain action that is explained in a past tutorial which he obviously skipped. I honestly don't really know why I still play coop games with him as I've gone as far as playing dying light 2 solo for my 1st playthrough. I can spend so long just going around looking at things and appreciating the graphics. My friend just runs down corridors to get to the next objective which is a massive pain when trying to coop with him as I always end up having to stop what im doing and run miles to go and help him or revive him coz he plays like he's on single player and insists on hardly ever sticking together and actually cooperate with each other.

I came directly from Dying Light 1 to Dying light 2 so gameplay feel of DL1 was very fresh in my mind when i started playing DL2. Personally DL2 feels like it's missing something that the first one had, i just can't quite put my finger on it. Besides that DL1 felt a lot more fluid and natural to play in DL2 it feels kinda clunky and awkward at times, i hope that will change with patches cause otherwise i think DL2 looks to be a great game

[@OneWolfe22]

i thought the same exact thing when i started playing. dont get me wrong i really like DL2 it’s a big transition and it certainly has plenty of things the first one didn’t have, but i think what made the first one stand out so much from number Dos was the combat system and the climbing system. the first one, everything felt so fluid and real i suppose, and the parkour was moderately great. in the second one the climbing seems a tiny bit more sluggish and complex visually, and the combat seems too sped up and cartoonish in a way. like the gore doesn’t seem as realistic, the zombies seem a lot more “active” in a negative sort of way and attacking seems to be a LOT more “arcade” like. i don’t mean to bash the second one so much, but i feel that the combat system just seems so unreal now, almost as if you’re playing an RPG

It's weight of the character and momentum. He jumps too high and is too floaty. When you missed a legde IN DL1, It felt scary, like "OH SHIT" When you can't get the ledge. Then you Fall and it messes your whole run. When you fall in this game it feels inconsequential

@@floatinggoose9197 The floaty feel of the game was completely intentional by techland. They also made gravity a lot more closer to real life (at 9.8m/s² I think) whereas DL1 had double that.

Exactly. That’s the problem for me. It’s not that I can’t keep the same weapon all game but a shovel isn’t gonna break down in 3 minutes. It’s kind of obnoxious

[@ZMSKfullpower]

To be honest I never considered drop kick as op in DL 1. I even thought that it was too weak, fun for sure but against any other enemy than regular zoombie it was almost useless. Human enemies almost always dodged it. Hummer zombie and mutants received no damage. In DL 2 it's finally good move.

[@ninjared1607]

tip for the bolters I've found is if you are fast enough they take a while to start running, just run up and dropkick them, even if you barely have anything in the parkour tree apart from the dropkick you still have the speed to run and drop kick them once, that's all it really takes

[@TrueComboKing]

I’m loving the game so far. The only thing I don’t like so far is that we can’t repair our weapons like in DL1. I greatly dislike the new repair system and I honestly feel it needs to be changed. The blueprints repair 50 durability, I get it…..that’s cool, but it also means you’re kind of punished for modding your new powerful weapon the moment you get it. The optimal way to use your weapon would be to use it until it loses 50 durability and then applying a mod, losing 50 more durability and then applying another mod and so forth…why does this suck? Well, lets say you loot a whopper of a cool weapon. It’s way better than your other ones. Obviously, you wish to use it but you want mods on it too. Unfortunately, modding it from the get-go results in the loss of the ability to repair said weapon once its about to break and if its a really cool weapon….it’s a real bummer. My idea - The blueprints should instead *ADD* extra durability to the weapon and maybe even give bonus durability if you’re using it on a weapon that hasn’t lost any durability. That way your 130 durability cleaver can be modded and then have 230 durability, for example. It just makes sense, imo. In fact, that’s how I thought it worked until I realized, last night, it wasn’t. Another thing that I would LOVE would be a way to reset your skills/skill points. There’s so many good skills in the skill trees in this game and it takes me nearly half an hour to decide what to put a point into next, lol. I suffered the same indecisiveness in the first dying light but it is amplified in this one, haha. Oh and a major gripe I have is that when you view the skill tree - some skills that feature their videos will have some damn loud audio and some of the other ones won’t have any audio at all. This is weird and should be fixed. All the skill videos on the skill tree should have sound, imo. Other than the things listed above, I am enjoying this game, playing on Hard mode and really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY taking my time. I still haven’t finished the first story quest-chain. I’ve just been exploring, scavenging and checking out buildings at night. I will say, this game is not as scary as the first DL. I don’t know where the volatiles are but thankfully I haven’t encountered any at all and do not want to, lol. Also, the blueprint system in this game is just…mmmm…*chefs kiss*. I like that picks can be upgraded, I love that throwing knives are actually useful and I really love how we can put the mod combinations *we* want on any weapon with sockets. tldr - game gud, much enjoyment, few problems. :)

[@Batboy_915]

I really like your idea. You should post it on Reddit and their twitter feed. We need Repair to work like it was in DL1--with the ability to repair being linked directly to the rarity level of the weapon.

[@natepreston8887]

Someone uses reddit lmao

@@Batboy_915 Thank you but I don’t use social media, I am not a fan of the echo-chambers they tend to breed.

[@talos4702]

@@TrueComboKing Hey I have a question since you seem pretty in depth with the game. I’ve been playing the game for a while too and for some reason, I can’t sell all my weapons to the trade people. Why is that? In DL1 you could literally sell anything you didn’t want, but here you can only sell certain weapons to certain traders. I’ve seen other people talk about it but I don’t know if it’s a glitch or it’s a new decision they made. If it’s the latter, I think it’s pretty stupid.

[@TrueComboKing]

@@talos4702I’m sorry, I wish I could help you but it seems like that’s a glitch. I haven’t had any issue selling any unwanted items (except the DLC preorder bonus machete and axe). You should be able to visit any vendor then switch to the sell tab and then sell anything you’d like. Don’t worry too much though. This isn’t like the first dying light. I hoarded weapons and stuff to sell to the vendor and realize dthey were only selling for like 2 bucks, lol. Honestly, man, if you have any unwanted weapons or armor clogging your inventory then my suggestion is to just drop it (sucks we can’t dismantle anymore, eh?). There are many little glitches, i’ve noticed. One of them being that even though I upgraded my lock-pick so that it can force open medium difficulty locks, I’ve only seen the option to force open a lock one time when it was an “easy” rating lock and then I never saw the option again and another bug is that enemies don’t stick to spikes or barricades when you kick them into them like in the first Dying light, sometimes they just kinda fall. Another bug is that when you kick someone or an infected off a building or ledge or whatever, they don’t fall like in Dying Light 1….They kinda just float there for a millisecond then drop. Kinda like a looney tunes cartoon, lol. I’m going to ask you a question and I don’t mean to insult your intelligence or anything but I’ve made far dumber mistakes - have you checked to make sure that you’re in the “Sell” tab instead of the “buy” tab when you visit a vendor? I’m on PS5 so I have to hit one of the triggers to switch to the “sell” tab.

I read a few comments here and I personally think the game can be very much so polished to its core, yes its buggy and yes they have a few missing features from the last game, but remember they can always add features and more. The game is actually fun and offers a fresh new perspective to the future of the last game. Stop comparing Dying Light to the 2nd, its a fresh new take an adds new elements and characters, yes the first game was amazing but it also had its faults. Have a good time gaming people. An a nice year.

[@daiko9593]

Thanks you 2, wish you a good life

[@Tatmeister689]

I think its fair to compare DL1 to DL2. Some things aren't exactly new elements, but rather the same element but downgraded. The ragdoll effect and blood splatter, for example, were done better in DL1. Also, taking away directional attacks add nothing to the new game. No weapon sticking either. That might be a creative choice, but it does take away from the realism, which I'm sure the game was going for.

[@EdenofRivia]

@@Tatmeister689 I agree with the blood splatter and sticking with weapons in the zombies. I certainly have had a few gamebreaking bugs and posted about certain things on the subReddit for Dying Light. I would suggest that stuff on twitter or reddit if I was you. Maybe they can add those features to the game later on

The dropkick in DL 1 IS NOT OVERPOWERED, it does funny damage and can be easily dodged by humans and virals. It's easier to perform in DL2 and does more damage, the only downside is you have no control in the air, you'll just fall off the terrace with the human you're kicking.
