Though most seek shelter as the All-Hallows Eve arrives, you fear no monster, no creature of the night. For you are Van Crane, the slayer of horrors, and Halloween is but a feast to you. Your outfit, enchanted with blood, allows you to call any thrown weapon back to you. So take zombies by surprise, and cut off their heads when they least expect it. That’s what you’re known for anyway.
With a set of these day and night weapons, you’ll be the end of the undead.As soon as you reach for the Dawnlight, your deadly pistol, they’ll know the hunt has begun. Find a good spot to make sure you have time to load it with your silver bullet, and obliterate even the strongest monster with a single shot. Then, roll from behind the corner, and vanquish what’s left with your crossbow, the Heart Piercer—showing its true potential just when the sun sets. And if you some ungodly creatures are still trying to escape their fate, purge them with your Sword of Night, which draws its power directly from the Moon. The streets of Harran must be cleansed, and you, Van Crane, have sworn to never rest until it’s done.
Van Crane—a new costume with a special “boomerang” skill
Dawnlight—a pistol that can be loaded with silver bullets
Heart Piercer—a crossbow that becomes more powerful and changes appearance at night
Sword of Night—a sword that becomes more powerful and changes appearance at night
When the spookiest night of the year comes, the deadliest horrors dress up and flood the city’s streets, looking for candy blood. For this trick-or-treating, you’ll need a really large candy bag. And maybe some reliable weapons too. Volatile (sugar) rush has made them much more sensitive to sounds during Halloween, so any noise you make will alarm and lure them to you. Use your Super Crane’s powers to wipe those carved smiles off their pumpkin faces, and don’t forget to collect their trick-or-treat potions. Warning: Use with caution! Their effects can be… surprising.
The community will want to collect as many of these as possible, so help them, and you’ll definitely be rewarded. And don’t forget to get rid of the Goons, Virals, and Volatiles! They disguised themselves, but don’t be fooled. They’re no trick-or-treaters. Finish the bounties, though, and you’ll see there’s something nice waiting for you in return.

The Halloween event will launch on PC and consoles on October 28th (19:00 CEST) and will last until November 8th (19:00 CEST).
The aura on the other side of the portal is changing… As Lucius’ lost ancient power was flowing through Hellraid, awaiting an adventurer who could tame it, it has found a new vessel. Prove your dedication and mastery of your skills to get hold of that raw magic, and you’ll grasp might beyond understanding. Are you worthy of holding the Fire Wand, the weapon allowing you to command flames themselves? Enter the hellish dungeon, and face the trial.
The new challenge comes with a whole new map section for you to explore, and a new skill—Wand Mastery. Unlocking it will allow you to use the Fire Wand, the new fireball-shooting weapon. During your next visit to Hellraid, you’ll also see we’ve added three new potions that will make you even more powerful, so give them a try! And if you’ve finished the Imprisonment quest, you'll gain access to the armory, where you’ll be able to exhibit the weapons you’ve gained through your Hellraid ranks. Make sure to show them off, and see you on the other side!
Patch notes:
We’ve added three new portals leading to the new challenge rooms
Players can now unlock a new skill—Wand Mastery—to use the new weapon—Fire Wand
Three new potions—potion of endurance, potion of speed, and potion of power—are now available in Hellraid
Players will gain access to the armory once they’ve finished the Imprisonment quest
Over the next couple of days everything you do in Dying Light will be rewarded with a double amount of experience points. The bonus applies to all skill trees, including Legend. That means it’s a great opportunity to significantly bulk up your character regardless of whether you’re still in the midst of the story campaign or have already finished it.
The Double XP event is available until Monday, 4.10.2021, 7pm CEST. Have fun leveling up!
Invaders from space have come to Harran, thinking they can conquer the city with gravity tricks. We’re counting on you, cadet, to bring them down to earth and make sure they remember to stay away for good. Fortunately, they’re not the only ones who can benefit from all that zero-G mess. You too can turn it to your advantage and deal with both the invaders and zombies, killing two birds with one stone. And if you grabbed the new Astronaut bundle on the way, you’re gonna have a whole set of Volkan’s high-tech items to help you.
Jump all the way to the sky and unleash your Super-Crane powers, as you use your grappling hook to quickly reach and surprise your enemies. You know what they say—The higher you fly… the more alien invaders you kill. During the Low Gravity event, all landings are soft, so don't fear to aim high and make the best of this new situation. Blow up or kick your enemies, and see what’s gonna happen. Let’s just say, they’ll finally shoot for the stars. Literally. There’s no space for all those intruders and zombies here anyway, with Virals running around in a wild Viral Rush. Yes, you heard it right, cadet. Earth’s facing multiple threats, and you must defend it at all costs. But it’s no easy job, especially during the invasion, when the nights are longer. That’s why we figured out a way to refresh your ammo every time you make it into a safe zone. We also equipped quartermasters with pistols and shotguns, so that you can grab these whenever you need them. The rest is in your hands, cadet. Earth’s counting on you.
Goals: Local Event: Kill 100 enemies affected by low gravity. Reward: The V-27 Shifter machete (gold) Global Event: Kill 15 000 000 enemies affected by low gravity. Reward: 3 Kind Mods
No time to space out, cadet! You’re the last one standing, and the future of Earth is in your hands. There has been some gravity disturbance around Harran, affecting both zombies and men. But we do trust you’ll use it to your advantage. To help you succeed, we’re equipping you with our latest Volkan technology. We’ve been working hard on developing the most advanced types of weapons, and we came up with something completely out of this world. Just what you’ll need to stop a space invasion.
Hop in your new ride, the V-39 Star Rover, put on your V-9 Defender Suit, and let’s get down to business. One of our greatest achievements, the V-40 Suspender pistol, will put your enemies in stasis, giving you extra time to eliminate them. If you’re skillful or lucky enough, you can make them freeze in the air! The fall is certainly not going to be pleasant for them, but as long as they’re hanging up there, remember to say “cheese!” and smile—it’s gonna be your best picture ever. Once you’re done having fun with that, grab the V-23 Eraser, a rifle shooting laser bullets with a dazzling effect, which can set your enemies on fire. With this one, you’re sure to eradicate anyone and anything on your way. Things got personal and you got trouble deciding how you want your foes served? Poisoned, burned, or shocked? Slash the Infected with the V-27 Shifter and you’ll have all of these covered, as your machete changes its deadly effect after consecutive hits. Now, It’s time to give that space equipment a try and kick the unwelcome intruders out of Earth.
The bundle contains:
Laser rifle—The V-23 Eraser—with laser ammo and a chance to burn your enemies.
Stasis pistol—The V-40 Suspender—that’ll put your enemies in stasis with every last shell in the magazine.
Machete—The V-27 Shifter—that changes its effect after several consecutive hits.
Outfit—The V-9 Defender Suit—with fall damage reduction.
