Dying Light News

The Chicken Ninja is back in town, which means we can get the annual Harran Egg Hunt rolling. As the name of the event suggests, the objective is to collect special Easter eggs – the more, the better. You will find them among the usual loot in various containers, but as you explore the city, you’ll also notice little zombies dressed in white. Those might not exactly be the cute Easter Bunnies we all deserve, but they’re what we’ve got nevertheless. If you catch and kill one, you get an egg too. In case you wonder why the eggs look like decorated grenades – it’s because that’s what they are. They come in four different types and can be used in combat to poison the enemies, freeze them, set them on fire, or knock them out.

When the community reaches the global goal, everyone will receive three gold weapon dockets. There are also two rewards for completing personal bounties – a gold weapon and the Cock-A-Doodle-Do Outfit (the legendary Chicken Ninja apparel). The event ends on Wednesday (April 7, 19:00 CEST). Happy hunting, Survivors!

Thanks to you, Hothead Joe is finally gone, but that's not the end of trouble. Another freak of nature terrorizes Harran and the GRE has no choice but to ask for your help once again.


Excavator Mike is another one of the undead GRE agents we've managed to pin down. Big and strong, he's trying to finish what Joe started—destroy both the city and its survivors. He also happens to be carrying a recipe for the GRE potion responsible for his mutations. Luckily for you, you're very much alive and able to use the ""GREcipe"" to your advantage. Kill him to get a blueprint for the special mixture. For a short time, it will grant you infinite stamina and boost some of your stats. With its help, you'll hunt the infected down even more efficiently. While looking for Mike, you might spot some of the supply drops the GRE distributed in an effort to mitigate the damage done by the mutants. Help other players retrieve enough of them and get a King Mod as a thank-you!

Global goal: Retrieve 1 000 000 air drops
Reward: King Mod

The zombies refuse to give up; in fact, their numbers are rising as we speak. With the situation in Harran getting worse by the hour, we’re left with no other choice but to send a Harran Tactical Unit into the city. Become one of these elite officers and give the infected a taste of what happens when professionals enter the scene. Which you’ll do at roaring speed in your new buggy, the Four-Wheeler. By the time zombies see your lights flashing, it will be too late for them to retreat. Clear your way with a special HTU hammer that’ll send your enemies flying with its permanent hypermode effect. Then, open fire before they rally and pick them off with your new rifle or shotgun. Do whatever’s necessary, but remember: the operation must not fail.

The bundle contains:
• Protector – a Harran Tactical Unit armor skin
• Dispatcher – a Harran Tactical Unit shotgun
• Guardian – a Harran Tactical Unit rifle with burst fire
• HyperArgument – a Harran Tactical Unit Hammer with permanent hypermode effect
• Four-Wheeler – a Harran Tactical Unit buggy skin with police lights effect

Time flies when you’re having fun, and so the last six years of Dying Light passed by at the double. Thank you for being with us! We’re not slowing down, though, as we plan to deliver even more hours of joy, starting right away. Pop the champagne and celebrate six years of Dying Light with a free weekend on Steam and the Zombie Hunt event!

If you or any of your friends still haven’t tried Dying Light, there couldn’t be a better time to fix that! From February 25, you’ll be able to play Dying Light for free on Steam for the entire weekend. Explore Harran, the post-apocalyptic city taken over by zombies. Master parkour and combat skills, learn crafting and fight the infected, as you unravel the mysteries of a deadly infection. Want to play with friends? Try the co-op mode! Test it out, and if you enjoy the game and choose to continue your adventure, you’ll keep all the progress you’ve made!

Although we’re celebrating, the citizens of Harran are still in grave danger. A while ago, the GRE sent their agents into the field, equipping them with special boost potions—the “GREcipe”. Unfortunately, the mission didn’t go off as planned and the operatives died. Now, they walk around Harran as undead, terrorizing the city and wreaking havoc among survivors. And that’s not all. Since the “GREcipe” caused mutations in their bodies, they are not just some regular undead, but tough and strong freaks of nature. It’s going to take skill and wit to hunt them down, but the bounty is generous.


First, find and pacify Hothead Joe, an undead HTU officer. You’ll recognize him by his size and the HTU helmet. Defeat him, and you’ll be free to loot his “HyperArgument” hammer as well as other higher-level items. Being a special goon, he'll also grant you a significant XP boost each time you kill him! When on your way, make sure to also help the survivors scattered around Harran. Assist them, and if the community reaches the goal, you'll be rewarded with a gold weapon! You’ve got one week to deal with Joe and save the survivors, as another freak of nature is already approaching, and he'll be here soon.

Goals:

• Local goal: Kill Hothead Joe
  
• Reward: “HyperArgument” hammer
  
  
• Global goal: Help 100 000 survivors
  
• Reward: Gold weapon

The first week of Zombie Hunt event is live from February 25, 19:00 CET to March 3, 19:00 CET across all platforms.

A Chinese legend says there was once a ferocious creature called Nián. It would emerge from the sea by the end of every lunar year to wreak havoc and feast on animals and humans. It kept coming back, until the villagers learned it was terrified of loud noises, fire, and the color red. That is how the bright and loud Chinese New Year festivities were born—from the villagers’ efforts to ward off the beast.

Let’s welcome the Year of the Ox with a bang to make sure Nián keeps away from Harran. Dress for the occasion with the free Ox Warrior bundle, stuff your pockets full of trap bombs (we’ve increased their damage for the duration of the Lunar Event) and go make some noise in the streets by blowing zombies to pieces. Don’t worry if you can’t craft your own trap bombs – the Quartermasters will supply you daily with 3 pieces of each variant (exploding, shrapnel, toxic). While you’re at it, be sure to pick up some fireworks as well. Available only during the event, these special items will lure monsters like regular firecrackers, then set them aflame as they go off and illuminate the sky with dazzling pyrotechnics. Talk about mixing pleasure with business!

Kill enough zombies with trap bombs and fireworks to complete your personal bounty and claim the gold Leaping Tiger Dao as a reward – forged especially for the occasion. Land at least 3 consecutive hits with this beautiful sword, and its blade will light up with ancient power that grants you a damage boost. Don’t stop there, though, because partying hard will really pay off. If the community reaches its goal, everyone who contributed will earn 3 King Mods. How’s that for kicking off the new lunar year?

Local goal: Kill 50 zombies with Trap Bombs

• Required to use: Shrapnel Trap Bomb, Exploding Trap Bomb, Toxic Trap Bomb, Fireworks (event item)
  
• Reward: Gold Dao Sword

Global goal: Kill 7 000 000 zombies with Trap Bombs

• Required to use: Shrapnel Trap Bomb, Exploding Trap Bomb, Toxic Trap Bomb, Fireworks (event item)
  
• Reward: 3x King Mods

A new lunar year has begun, bringing us into the Year of the Ox, a time to celebrate such virtues as strength, honesty, and patience. Needless to say, all these qualities are indispensable in a world taken over by zombies, so we plan to give them a place of honor. Become an ox warrior, and purge Harran of the infected with a new shotgun that will obliterate enemies standing in your way, setting on fire those who, by some miracle, survive the blast.

The bundle contains:
• Ox Cannon – a custom single-shot shotgun with a chance to set enemies on fire
  
• Ox Warrior skin – a themed player skin celebrating the Year of the Ox

The festivities will last from February 11, 19:00 CET to February 17, 19:00 CET.
