A new Dying Light The Beast update will hand its biters a restraining order

Dying Light The Beast is a delightfully pure distillation of everything that makes Techland's zombie-smashing series great. Its brutal, lethal combat is no exception - but one particular enemy type has proven themselves a particular menace, to the point where the team has made a weekend announcement to confirm that it's taking action.

Dying Light: The Beast Dev Update

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]We’ve seen comments related to zombie grabbing - Nathan Lemaire would love to share an update with you! We are preparing a set of changes that will allow biters to remain aggressive, but ensure the encounter with them will be fair:[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]When grabbing you, the damage will now start a little later to give more opportunities to escape a grab without being hurt. [/p]
  • [p]When you start a fight, the first alerted biter will be less likely to start with a grab. [/p]
  • [p]Biters wanting to grab you from a distance will now make it slightly more obvious. [/p]
[p][/p][p]This update will be available in the next hotfix (that is getting really close!), stay tuned, GRAB your friends, and get ready to play!

  • [p]PC - Frame Generation: Stability and consistency under heavy load.[/p]
  • [p]Quests: Fixes for 4 progression-blocking issues.[/p]
  • [p]Zombie Grabs: Balance tweaks so they feel fair… but still keep you on edge.

    [/p]
[p]We’re aiming to roll this out early next week, once we’re confident the update meets our quality bar. Full patch notes will be shared as soon as it’s live!

[/p][p]Meanwhile, please avoid installing unverified mods - they can cause crashes and make things worse.
