BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
It’s Christmastime in the city of Villador, and not even a horde of zombies can stop the blizzard of fun that’s arrived for Dying Light 2.
Ho Ho Ho
What’s more Christmassy than the risen dead? How about a big old tree and some assorted Holiday Season happenings? Dying Light 2: Stay Human is welcoming in all of that this week, with the just launched Winter Tales: Gifts from Above.
The event is live now and will be running through January 2nd, and has landed along with patch 1.20 for the game. Altogether that’s a double-dose that brings a host of new stuff, with a new enemy, new outfits to earn, and more.
No place to go? Let it snow!
Villedor has been hit by frosty weather, and its citizens are ready to celebrate the festive season. There’s a tree, but it’s missing decorations – where are they? Players must complete bounties from Baka or loot containers to gather trinkets, ornaments, and decorations to dress the tree and spread holiday cheer! As a reward for hard work, players will get presents like the Killer Krampus Outfit and Winter Sweets, which can be spent at Baka’s stall.
Baka’s back with his (festive) shack
Baka’s Halloween stand has been exchanged for something more festive and offers up some great and unique items, including the boomerang-style Skoll, Snowballs and much, much more. He has also ordered some new stock with the Killer Krampus items, including The Punisher weapon, used to reprimand those naughty zombies. So before taking on any bounties, players have to make sure to check out all of Baka’s wares!
What’s more, with each level increase of Baka’s reputation, players will get a letter they can send to Santa using the box located next to the stall to get an airdrop full of presents.
They will have to make sure to participate in the weekly airdrop challenges as the rewards will change, allowing them to earn the entire Killer Krampus Gear Set.
Jingle all the slay – new enemy
Uncle Snows and his helpers – the Naughty Infected and Virals—are back and hungrier than ever. Watch out for a new festive zombie, the Ice Spitter, who will shoot icy projectiles. While Naughty Infected can be found all over Villedor, the most formidable Uncle Snows will be guarding precious airdrops.
One more update for 2024…
Alongside the release of Winter Tales: Gifts from Above 2024, we’ll be releasing Patch 1.20. This patch will streamline the Prologue so players can get into the action much quicker, making it the perfect time to jump into the game for the first time, or finally return to see what else has changed since your last visit to Villedor. The patch also addresses various issues, including those relating to crashes and co-op, and several that have been reported by the community, such as the headless Aiden during the stomp animation.
…And two more presents!
This is the season for giving after all, so until January 2nd, all players will be able to grab the Above the Law Bundle completely for free. Just like the Killer Krampus, this bundle is all about making sure those not following the rules get punished, so pick it up and keep law and order in The City.
