Dying Light 2: Reloaded Edition News

Dying Light 2 has a Cyberpunk 2077 easter egg

One of the weapons you can stumble upon during your parkour adventures in Dying Light 2 might look familiar if you've played Cyberpunk 2077. If you play your cards right, you can get a pair of special knuckle dusters called the Cyberhands 2177 that look like the cyberpunk game's Mantis Blades.

To get them, you'll want to take an elevator to the top of the VNC Tower once you've completed the Broadcast story mission. Once you exit the elevator on the roof, you'll want to turn left and scale the green metal structure for a better view. You should notice two mossy skyscrapers that are smaller than the VNC Tower. Use your glider to reach the closer of the two, and then glide to the next one.

Once you reach the roof of that building, you should find a man standing next to a campfire known as 'Liquidator'. He'll mention being "here and there" before telling you that he has left something for you. You should then see a cache to your left before the mysterious NPC vanishes for good. Open them to get the Cyberhands 2177 blueprint. It's worth noting, though, that it looks like the NPC disappears if you've completed the main quest. Ensure you grab the weapon after completing the Broadcast quest to avoid missing out.

How to get the best Dying Light 2 weapons

Looking for the strongest Dying Light 2 weapons? Surviving in Villedor is no easy task, and with hordes of infected everywhere you turn, you'll quickly learn what a difference a good weapon can make in Techland's gory zombie game.

As you explore and progress through the story, you find plenty of loot scattered throughout the post-apocalyptic city, including weapons and materials. Blunt weapons, such as maces, hammers, and sticks, can knock enemies down, whereas slashing weapons like axes and machetes can slice through limbs. There are also ranged weapons that enable you to fight from a distance, though you won't find guns lying around Villedor - it's a bullet free zone. Instead, you unlock bows at a specific point in the campaign.

With the exception of specific mission rewards, you will find only random weapons in Dying Light 2. Depending on your level, they have variable stats so your weapons will get better as you level up. You can tell how good a weapon is by checking out its rarity, which ranges from common 'white' weapons through to uncommon (green), rare (blue), unique (purple), and finally artifact weapons, which are highlighted in gold. Artifact weapons have the highest durability, the most weapon mod slots, and the most stat bonuses. Here's how to find the best Dying Light 2 weapons.

Dying Light 2 co-op - how to play on Steam and Epic Game Store

Want to play Dying Light 2 co-op with your friends? The latest survival horror game from Techland gives players the option to play almost the entire campaign with a few of their mates. Soon, you and up to three of your buddies can leap across the streets of Villedor, salvaging Dying Light 2 inhibitors to upgrade your stats.

There is no crossplay across hardware platforms, so you won't be able to play Dying Light 2 co-op on a PC with either PlayStation or Xbox players. Thankfully, you can play with friends across Steam and Epic Game Store, and it works great. It doesn't matter if the Steam or Epic Game Store user hosts the game. In our tests, it works well either way.

Unfortunately, this is a tiny bit more complicated than you'd anticipate. For starters, you need to play through the game up until a certain point in the main campaign, which will take you at least a few hours. After the game opens up, you can invite friends to join you, but it requires a bit of setup. Follow these steps to set up Dying Light 2 co-op, and soon you and your friends can hunt down valuable loot by cracking open caches using Dying Light 2 safe codes.

More Dying Light 2 fixes are coming this week

The fixes keep coming for new parkour 'em up Dying Light 2. The zombie game got a day one patch with more than 1,000 bug fixes, and more are on the way this week. Not quite 1,000, though they should prove handy nonetheless.

The upcoming PC patch includes fixes for game-crashing bugs, various situations that could cause infinite black screens, AI dead body replication in co-op, and an issue where you couldn't sell your goodies to a vendor. You're also getting some DLSS improvements, which is neat. Techland has an eye to the future, too. The devs are working on a fix for an issue that sends players into a death loop, various story blocks, and visual bugs that are sometimes visible in the 'Makers of the Plague' quest in the hospital. The team is also working on additional features like adding backup saves and exposing other video settings. There's even the possibility of enabling an English voiceover if the local language isn't English.

Techland hasn't given a date for the patch yet, though the devs say it'll be "in the coming days".
