Don’t expect a ton of guns
Dying Light 2recently resurfaced after a quiet spell, and with it, the devs behind the game are starting to answer some questions fans have had about the parkour-infused action game.
In the first of a new AMA series,Dying Light 2‘s lead game designer TymonSmektaÅ‚aaddressed a number of common inquiries, including the size of the game’s map and the impact of choices on the narrative.
One point that’s come up a few times before but is still pretty interesting is the lack of guns. As SmektaÅ‚a says, “There are no firearms in the world ofDying Light 2.” While the zombie action game will have ranged weapons, like bows, more modern or conventional weaponry looks to be out of the question.
He does describe an additional weapon the player can craft that’s like a cobbled-together shotgun, which will offer a shotgun blast but with low durability. Basically, it sounds like traditional guns won’t be littering the zombie-infested world ofDying Light 2.
The action sequel bounced back earlier this year withsome new updates, following a reveal itdetermined was a little early. There havebeen some delays, as well as thedeparture of Chris Avelloneover allegations last summer, but it sounds like Techland is now ramping up towards some more news. Here’s hoping for a new look at the expansive game soon.
