I'd be pretty annoyed if I knew someone was rummaging through my possessions, even if I was a bloodthirsty zombie. Moreso, if anything. Those are my bits of wiring. Hey! That's MY pile of scrap. The residents of the lovely Alps-adjacent town of Dying Light: The Beast don't really seem to mind - they're more concerned with making my insides my outsides. Must be dinner time.

How to get the best ranged weapon in Dying Light 2: The Beast – the awesome Sawblade Launcher

Finding and crafting the Sawblade Launcher in Dying Light: The Beast is a real turning point in Techland's new zombie-stomping parkour horror. It's by far the best ranged weapon in the game, dishing out instant death for lesser infected and human enemies by slicing right through them, and taking huge bites out of the health bars of even the biggest and deadliest boss monsters...

Dying Light: The Beast is out, dark, Steam Deck Verified
