‘Dying Light 2 Stay Human’: Tips to Survive in the Dangerous Video Game World

Dying Light 2: Stay Human, the sequel to the cult video game developed and released by Techland in 2015, is now available after several delays. Set in a world full of zombies and other dangers, players will be able to enjoy hundreds of hours of content between the main campaign and the many side quests that can be found on the vast map.

The City, the scene of the events of this title, and its surroundings are places full of enemies and, due to how complicated it can be to cross these wastelands, we will have to use all the available resources to explore all the available places. Therefore, after having played the video game for several hours, this time we bring you 5 tips that will be useful to complete the title.

health is important

In Dying Light 2, we have the option of crafting various of our own tools using items we pick up in various areas of the map. One of the most important are the medicines, which will allow us to heal from the damage received by the terrain or the enemies. Although these can be collected from the bodies of enemies or bought in stores, the optimal thing is to create them.

To do this, it is essential to collect honey, plants and mushrooms whenever we see them in the areas we explore, since these materials are necessary to create medicines.

Parkour is your best ally

The franchise has its identity marked by the Parkour mechanics it possesses. The player can climb walls, buildings, mountains, or jump from great heights and distances as long as the right conditions are met. Being so acrobatic, these abilities can even be used in combat to hold off a large group of zombies or other enemies. At first, these maneuvers can be a bit difficult to perform, but with more hours of play it will become as natural as walking or hitting and it will become more and more necessary to master it both to traverse difficult terrain and to take down hordes.

Of course, it is important to always keep in mind the resistance bar that appears on the screen. Each demanding action will subtract a bit from this interface and if we run out of stamina, we will not be able to attack or move easily, leaving us at the mercy of enemies.

Take advantage of the day/night cycle

One of the most talked about features by the game’s developers is the transition between day and night, not only because it looks visually spectacular but also because it changes the gameplay depending on the weather. During the day, it will be easier to explore the exteriors of the City, while at night it will be easier to go indoors or in dark areas. It is important to take these characteristics into account to make decisions about what we will do in our session. During the night better rewards can be found while the day will allow us to search the most open places on the map to find new missions and other survivors that can give us objects, weapons or important information.

choose wisely

Dying Light 2’s main campaign is riddled with decisions players will need to make to determine their play style and even which missions or endings they’ll get. On the one hand, we have the improvement system in which we can spend our skill points obtained by defeating enemies, performing Parkour stunts or simply completing some missions. The skill tree contains the improvements that we can buy with these points and depending on which one we obtain, we will have more possibilities both in combat and in Parkour. On the other hand, the conversations with important characters for the story often also have decision making and, depending on what we answer, we can obtain one of the possible endings of the game. Choose and enjoy the game your way.

Always have weapons available

The enemies in Dying Light 2, both zombies and humans, are ferocious and will not hesitate to finish us off whenever they get the chance. Therefore, it is important to have a variety of weapons divided into three classes: blunt, cutting and range; each one perfect for the multiple situations that we will go through in the game. Since these types of objects have a certain durability, using them constantly will end up breaking them, so if we don’t have a replacement, we won’t be able to defend ourselves properly until we repair our equipment.
