The 2nd Anniversary with Firearms Update is here and boy, oh boy, what an update it is! We are delighted to announce that it’s our biggest content pack yet. So without further ado — let’s jump into the details.



Firearms
Pilgrims, you have been heard! Finally, we are adding firearms to Dying Light 2 with Firearms Update. Any player who logs into the game before 7 March will be able to claim a free Harran Pistol from their stash! If you want to follow the story, and earn more firearms-related goodies, simply complete the “Lost Armory” quest, meet Jai, the Watcher, and learn how they reappeared in Villedor. We have prepared four types of these weapons for you (each with its own unique type of ammo):

• Pistols — when things go wrong, a reliable sidearm can save the day. It’s your basic firearm;
  
• SMGs — high firepower and capacity, harness its recoil to seize the edge in close quarters combat;
  
• Rifles — the perfect package of precision and power;
  
• Shotguns — deadly in point-blank range, your go-to crowd control tool.

Raise your reputation rank with the newest Agent and get access to the other firearms (learn more in the Survivor missions paragraph)! Keep in mind that as powerful as they are, they are still rare in Villedor — ammo doesn’t grow on trees (though you can find some bullets stashed around the world, look carefully in the convoys), so you’ll have to be smart about when to go in with guns blazing. If you want to try this out right away, we have special Firearms Challenges and community maps dedicated to firearms.

New board quests, including one with old friends
Be sure to visit one of the boards with this Update, as we have prepared some new quests there. Next week, you’ll even be able to meet fan favourites from the first Dying Light — Tolga and Fatin! You must check what they’re cooking this time…

Survivor missions & Elite missions
With the Firearms Update we have prepared something new for CO-OP enthusiasts — Survivor Missions and Elite Missions! Embark on this activity with your friends (or solo, if you really, really dare…) and earn Watcher Tokens that you can use to buy exclusive items, including new firearms! This feature is unlocked alongside your first pistol, so be sure to complete the “Lost Armory” mission — upon completion, for the next 3 weeks, you’ll get access to 3 additional missions each week. Be sure to complete Bounties based on Survivor missions to raise your reputation with the new character — Jai, the Watcher — and unlock new items!

Anniversary Bounties
There is no anniversary without the celebration! This time around, you’ll need to complete special Anniversary Bounties to earn festive rewards that honour the whole history of the Dying Light franchise — Acolyte Outfit, Nocturnal Tribal Machete, and Scorpio! The infamous hybrid weapon will be the very first reward, so there will be plenty of time for everyone to get their hands on it, as we’ve prepared a total of 12 bounties to fulfill over the next three weeks. Complete all of them to get 50 Pilgrim Tokens! Remember, you'll still need a Pilgrim Outpost account to unlock these fabulous rewards, as well as to grab a free Welcome Pack containing a pack of crafting materials and an Extinguisher. Be sure to head to the Pilgrim Outpost to start the Bounties and learn more: https://pilgrimoutpost.com/events/anniversary-bounties

Environmental upgrades
It's a good idea to dress up for an anniversary, so we'll be visually enhancing various aspects of Dying Light 2! Some bigger, some smaller — be sure to find them all! These enhancements will be available for all the platforms:

• Improvements to foliage system — trees and grass models were upgraded,
  
• added variety to building interiors in Region 2,
  
• visual changes to some of the locations in the city —for more realistic look,
  
• car improvements — some car models have been replaced with new ones and others have been improved. The logic for vehicles placement on the roads has also been revised.,
  
• more environmental storytelling,
  
• various environmental assets upgraded (eg. crates, furniture, mailboxes),
  
• new skybox textures,
  
• fixes to lighting system,
  
• Biters and Virals look overhaul — upgraded models and clothing,
  
• hair quality improvements,
  
• water reaction improvements.

New enemy variant
Two years in the Villedor is plenty of time for enemies to adapt to Aiden’s new arsenal and techniques, so we decided to add a new enemy to the roster — Renegade Grenadier! With the Firearms Update, we’re also improving already existing enemies, which will now be smarter and have a more balanced damage output:

• Electric Biters and Virals elemental effects are now less lethal and can be avoided with a timely dash;
  
• Identified and fixed Spitters toxic damage pool stacking and balanced Spitters mortar attack frequency;
  
• The duration of Elemental Goons’ elemental puddles has been reduced and now allows for melee attacks when approached from a right angle;
  
• Banshees now make use of the Goon Caller’s size.

Nocturnal weapons
Nocturnal is on returnal! The occasion is unique, so we'll be adding even more Nocturnal Weapons to the game, and now you can really feel how powerful they are - as we rebalanced them as you asked! 11 new ones are waiting for you to find them:

• Nocturnal Medieval Mace
  
• Nocturnal Engine Bludgeon
  
• Nocturnal Verbum
  
• Nocturnal Ishmael
  
• Nocturnal Heavy Duty
  
• Nocturnal Monarch
  
• Nocturnal Reliable Axe
  
• Nocturnal Stud
  
• Nocturnal Enso Katana
  
• Nocturnal Smash
  
• Nocturnal Construction Hammer
  
• Remember, don't feel too safe with them at night, it might fool you!

Legend Levels improvements
The "Good Night, Good Luck” patch was a step towards making Legend Levels more challenging. We gathered feedback from our fantastic community and influencers and decided to introduce a number of improvements based on that! The Legend Levels are now more accessible than ever now, with a rebalanced progression as we tie them into the natural end-game activities. From now on, you’ll keep your Legend Level XP when resurrected by Survivors. But that’s not all! We’ve added another 50 levels, so you can now reach a Platinum Tier and try out five brand new upgrades:

• Master — reduces stamina cost of all weapons attacks;
  
• Immortal — heal on damage dealt to enemies with melee weapons;
  
• Expert — increases damage done with skills;
  
• Tank — reduces damage taken;
  
• Hero — gives a chance to land critical hits with all weapon attacks.

Due to this addition, we’ve adjusted the price of the respec for lvl 250 and above — it’s now 50 000 gold coins. Moreover we have added the effects of the Sniper upgrade to the Hunter upgrade, and Sniper upgrade will be now solely for firearms. The Survivor upgrade has also been reworked to increase the stamina damage dealt by all weapon attacks.

Think we are done here? We are also adding Legendary Bounties (which would only be given after completing a weekly bounty), Legend Levels XP as a reward from upcoming event bounties, and an additional XP multiplier for New Game+!

Hello everybody! Let’s give Tymon a break this time – I’m Rafał Polito, Techland’s Technology Producer. I’m mainly involved in creating and maintaining tools used by our developers. One of my current focuses is also on user-generated content (UGC). My goal is making sure that content creation is as easily accessible as possible, not only for developers but also for gamers.

We’re very lucky to have a community that’s really creative, and this ingenuity naturally lends itself to building maps. But usually it’s more or less a niche interest, available only to those who dig deep into dev functionalities – both for the game creators and those who like to play them. This is why I’ve spent hundreds of hours buried in developer tools to make them more approachable for our players. On top of that, we partnered with mod.io, which was a huge step in terms of opening UGC up to a wider audience. Now, you can access the maps by just pressing a button in the main menu, on PC and consoles alike.



But that’s playing, what about the creating part of the equation? Our (and mine, personally) never-ending love for UGC and teaching other people resulted in the first ever Community Workshops related to our Community Maps project! We invited top creators from all over the world to our headquarters in Wrocław to pass on our knowledge, discuss, brainstorm, and learn about their expectations regarding the future of Developer Tools and UGC.

We are always #CommunityFirst, which we work hard to show in our daily actions and relationships we aim to build. Social media exchanges and meet-ups are great, but I’d like to take it a step further and interact with the members of our community in a tangible and productive way. This is why the goal of the workshops was to equip our guests with the literal and metaphorical tools for them to grow as creators – show them a way that could lead to becoming developers. We know some of them see a future in gamedev, so it’s really fantastic to be able to watch their work, how passionate and meticulous they are.

Me with our 9 happy workshoppers:

The workshop crew, in alphabetical order: bub, Crex, Hank_Hill, HENeral, Liliannismo33, SrgRespawn, TheAhmetIbrahim, X_0, XAndUkarE + me

So, what exactly went into these workshops? For two full days, the top map creators had an opportunity to meet and talk to the developers in our office, particularly to Techland’s Developer Tools team.

Our devs were all praise:
“I was surprised and excited to see that our guests had unique backgrounds and skills, suited to working in different areas and with diverse features. They gave the impression of one, united team that had been creating games of their own for years. Sometimes, I felt that they knew more about our tools than I do, or our developers! I also had a feeling that we’d known each other forever, even if our previous communication was only online.”

During the first part of the workshops, we focused on theory: what goes into designing a good map, and what aspects are extremely important to make it successful. For example, it turns out you don’t have to create a painstakingly perfect 20-hour-long scenario for people to want to play it. Sometimes, all it takes is a cool idea for 5 minutes of fun – if it’s executed well. We also had a discussion about the specific projects created by our community members and studied each case separately. Additionally, we discussed a few tips and tricks on how to save time and maximize results.
Engrossed in map creation:



The second part was all about practice – our guests had to pick a random idea and inspiration, lottery style. Here are some examples:
Pitch black: make a map where the infection progress is the primary threat;
Gravity: make a map where a different gravity setting is the main gimmick;
Picturesque: make a map where visual beauty is the main focus.

Then, we moved on to the game jam stage, when they got to create new maps. What followed was a conversation about individual progress and an idea sharing session. Towards the end of the day, we entered into brainstorming mode. We talked about Developer Tools, the future of this feature, and how to improve tools for the community. We showed some sneak peeks of upcoming updates, like mod support or new features in DevTools to support mod creation. We even showed our legendary City Builder, most requested by the community – but, in my opinion, it’s too complex and too big even for our developers to handle and so will remain our secret tool.

Just look what beauties our dev tools can help create*:

* Photo contains a screengrab of a map made by one of the creators that is work in progress and does not occur in game – image not representative of final quality.

Let’s take a look at what one of our guests had to say about the entire experience:
“The crew was awesome, very fun, charismatic, and positive people around. The plan for workshops was great, we had time to explore, time to chat, time to work and focus, then relax by the end of the day. The integration with other community map creators itself was something I think we all needed. There wasn't a moment where I felt lost.”

We strongly believe that community is the most important aspect of Dying Light. Meeting up with our map creators was a joy, an honor, and an inspiration all at the same time. Personally, I think that initiatives like the Community Workshops are the best thing that can come out of this symbiotic relationship between Techland and the folks that like our games enough to dedicate hours of their time to poke around the technical aspects. A lot of respect goes out to them and I hope we’ll be able to have a repeat experience next year. Let us know what you think about it on our reddit channel. To find more information on Community Maps, visit the dedicated area of Pilgrim Outpost. Who knows, maybe you’ll get inspired to create one as well!

Take care!

The temperature might be dropping, but the last update of 2023 is coming in hot! Winter Tales is here to see you through the festive period and the first part is the update.

Gifts From Above - Event

Get ready for Winter Tales as Villedor becomes covered in winter's frost. Baka is back with new bounties and rewards for an upcoming event. Remember to write a letter to Santa because he is probably near the city, and gifts are falling from the sky. However, be wary, as they might be protected by Naughty Infected, who are invading the city again.

This year, snow has arrived in Villedor, so remember to visit your favorite spots in the City and prepare your camera for festive snaps.
Be sure to check out the Bazaar, where survivors have started decorating the Christmas Tree. They may need some help with that.

Event will be available to you till 5th January

New Enemy Variants

With the Update, a new wave of enemy variants will show up on the streets of the City.
Watch out for biters, carrying the deadly gas tanks on their backs. You can encounter three new variants:

Don't get too close to the Toxic one - he will release a deadly cloud around himself
Stop your enemies where you want them - Freezing biter will prevent them from moving
Watch incinerating biter throw fire puddles around him - but not from too close, or you will be engulfed in the fireball he turns into!

Virals also turn more vicious - some of them will spit in your direction to keep you away. You may also encounter them carrying gas tank.

Don't get surprised by the new Goon variant - their scream will alert banshees, waiting in the dark corners to attack you.

New Weapons - Polearms

Diversify your battlefield tactics with the arrival of Polearms! This new weapon type offers extended reach, allowing for strategic engagements and versatile playstyles. Pick them up from the cold dead hands of enemies that carried them before, or visit weapon vendors.
Don't forget to visit Shen Xiu (Chapter 2 Agent) and Pilgrim Outpost! And of course, the new weapon type comes with its unique finisher.

Nocturnal Weapons

We are introducing a new type of weapon specifically designed for better effectiveness during night fights. Nocturnal Weapons come only in higher rarities - from unique to exotics, so just because of that they’re already quite formidable. But what sets these weapons apart are their special affixes (triggered during the night) and cool, fluorescent appearances. Some of these weapons are designed to focus on handling specific types of infected, so choose wisely which one you will bring into the night. However, keep in mind that, as powerful as they are, they also drain your immunity faster, so using them is a classic risk-and-reward mechanic. Participate in Night Encounters, and fight Volatiles, Backpack Biters, and several others to obtain them. Make sure to visit Harper and Pilgrim Outpost. Explore the night and discover your first Nocturnal Weapon.

Throwable Weapons

New Throwing Knife - Want to wreak havoc among hordes of enemies while slashing through them? We have the perfect solution: throw a new PK tool, an exploding knife, at your enemies, watch out for a short beep beep beep, and enjoy the small explosion, giving yourself much-needed space in tight situations.

Shurikens - What's better than one shuriken? Three thrown simultaneously. Combine them with a katana, and you can be the one and only ninja in Villedor.

New Finishers
Your enthusiasm for new features doesn't go unnoticed; we've heard you clearly.
Get ready for a fistfight and check 2 new hands finishers, waiting to be mastered in the midst of battle.
In addition, you can now get a chance to perform a finisher after successfully performing Perfect Dodge, Perfect Parry, X-Ray attack, and even when you release yourself from the Biter grab.

Nightrunner Tools in NG+
After completing a game and entering New Game+, all your Nightrunner Tools will stay with you. Players who already were in New Game + before this Update will receive missing Tools on level 2*

*The tools will be accessible in Open World free roaming, meaning several missions will prevent you from using them to ensure a smooth experience. Adequate information will be shown in those cases.
