New hive and matchmaking improvements in update 0.2.3
Dying Light: Bad Blood - Azrieel


Long time, no see, right?

We move up a gear and release the second update this week. This one is a bit more focused on fixes than content as we’re at the same time working hard on the new map and the much requested team mode. We will have more details to share soon, so stay tuned!

Once again, we thank all of you for your support.


How it got bigger:
  • You can encounter a new Hive type featuring the Gas Tank zombie



How it plays better:
  • Zombie bosses are now more vulnerable to certain elemental effects, depending on their type
  • If you’re hit by a thrown blunt weapon, your stagger is now reduced from 2.65 s to 1.80 s

How it works better:
  • We made further improvement to visual clarity in menu screens
  • We added an invite to the Play Now mode if you’re unsuccessfully searching for players in a Private Lobby for 5 minutes

Premature Evaluation Dying Light: Bad Blood
Dying Light - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Fraser Brown)

The sound of an explosion and a huge burst of flame sends me sprinting for cover. The attack wasn t directed at me, it turns out. One of my fellow survivors had walked into a hive of zombies and he was chargrilling them. I stay hidden behind a van and watch him duke it out. We re both after the same thing: blood samples that will allow us to level up. He takes out the boss and, exhausted and bruised, proceeds to collect his samples. That s when I throw my own molotov cocktail and leap in with my electrified axe. I m so sneaky and also handsome, I think to myself as I pick his corpse clean and grab the samples for myself. I m still feeling pretty smug when I leave the hive. Unfortunately I don t notice the molotov cocktail hurtling towards me>.
