Update - Patch 1.3
[p]NEW CONTENT[/p][p]SURRENDER - NEW HUMAN ENEMIES BEHAVIOUR
Dying Light was always about reactivity and making the world respond naturally to your every move. After hearing your requests, we’ve introduced a new human-enemy behavior - melee-weapon enemies will now recognize when you’re aiming a firearm at them and might decide to surrender rather than losing their life. Depending on your actions then this scenario can unfold in a number of ways, but we’ll leave them to you to discover. [/p][p]NEW WEAPON EXECUTIONS
We’ve added 9 thrilling new finishers for different weapon variants. To help you experience them factor here are the weapon types where you can expect new, brutal execution animations:[/p]

PUBG MOBILE is coming to Dying Light: The Beast with a new quest and a set of rewards.
To access the crossover, visit the Dying Light Outpost event page and activate it there. This will automatically add the exclusive Airdrop Finder car skin to your in-game stash and unlock the Skillet quest, which will trigger after you complete the Power Gambit main story mission.
Your rewards for completing this new quest will be a collection of PUBG Mobile-themed items. Whack zombies with the series’ iconic Killing Pan, hit a homerun with the Battle Royale Bat, or use both to leave the infected with some serious headaches, thanks to their increased skull damage. Additionally grab the new Marked Man outfit and wear the individual Gear Items to earn more XP, deal more headshot damage and make bullets even more devastating with increased firearm damage. And that’s still not all! Affix the Battleground Keychain charm to your trusty weapon to increase your chances of the three D’s: decapitating, dismembering or destroying enemy limbs.
So, what are you waiting for? There might be a bounty on your head, but the rewards will be worth it. The Dying Light: The Beast x PUBG Mobile quest will be available from October 31 until November 21, 2025.
