Dying Light 2 tips
1. Use Survivor Sense to find items
Make sure to spam it to find all the loot you need! Looting is essential to survival in Dying Light 2.
2. You don't have to fight everyhing.
There's no need to fight all the zombies you see. Stick to objectives unless you just want to kill for fun.
3. Use propane tanks and other environmental items
Play smart and kill zombies faster by using the props available to you.
4. Practice Perfect Block
If you block at the right moment, it's much better. Get used to the enemy animations and utilize this to survive longer and fight back harder.
5. Parkour all the time
Using Parkour gives you experience points, so use the techniques as much as possible. It's just like jumping in Elder Scrolls!
6. Pay attention to the level requirements
Don't try to rambo through areas that are way above your level. Leveling in this game isn't done in big numbers, so even 1 level is a big difference.
7. Stealth is great
You can bypass so many fights with stealth in Dying Light 2. Stealth takedowns are also very satisfying and you can clear our whole areas like that.
8. Some gear has XP bonuses
You can outfit yourself entirely in XP-boosting gear to advance faster.
9. Upgrade Stamina first
It's just so much more important than health, at least initially. Prioritize finding Inhibitors around the map.
10. The Drop Kick is amazing
Drop kicking zombies off the roof has never felt better.
11. Scout with Binoculars
You can scout ahead and mark interesting landmarks with the Binoculars. Take a moment to look ahead before going in.
12. Vendors refresh gear when you level up
Different vendors sell different gear, too.
13. Dodge with animation canceling
While you can only dodge 3 times in a row before falling over, you can attack after a dodge to start doing it as many times as you want.
What class should you play in Dying Light 2?
Class is kind of a loose term in Dying Light 2, as it is gear that dictates what your character specializes in. Here they are:
- Brawler gear focuses on one-handed (1H) weapons and melee weapon stamina costs.
- Medic gear improves parkour damage and healing effectiveness.
- Ranger gear emphasizes ranged weapons and stealth.
- Tank gear reduces the damage you take and focuses on two-handed (2H) weapons.
