[jagged snow]

Good jobbb

[ripe valve]

the game in general

[cobalt orbit]

Just finished one life 🥳 5 brutal attempts. Couple of bs deaths but, we got there in the end

My total time on the save was 8h 44m 31s. Skipped 3 sidequests (I couldn't level up any further than level 14 without time wasting I don't think ) Selby's, Ana & Ron and Starchild's 2nd one. The rest can be activated and done as you're travelling through the map from main objective to main objective . As soon as I realised I couldn't get any higher than level 14, I got the pistol, rifle and shotgun around the map. The legendary ones. So I didn't need to upgrade them later . No revive serums, happy with the run, should've finished it way sooner but I don't think I could've played anymore optimally. Oh well, 205 legend levels to go still so, we move!!

[vocal basin]

8 hours total? You must've been pissed after those 5 failed ones because I'm at 29 hours with all zones, quests and safe zones completed

[thorn canyon]

just wondering, after completing that side quest where you have to retrieve ammo from the sunken container and beating the thugs, does the pistol ammo respawn at the town hall in restored land?

[somber yarrow]

you don't have to get pissed if you die. One of the points of permadeath is to play, die and try again. survive as long as you can

[thorn canyon]

i mean rightfully so people are going to get pissed after pouring in hours into something and having to restart over again. but yknow it is what they signed up for

[viral glade]

One time I lost like a 4-5 hour run during the quest when you climb the big bell tower to hijack the barons radio I was grappling up the entire thing instead and missed an edge and plummeted to my death I think any sane person would get mad at that

[wintry lagoon]

What y'all think bout the dark zone at night cuz for me every time there's at least 2 alpha that spawn there so I do it in daytimes tbh it's the same shit 🤣

[somber yarrow]

And permadeath in games is not meant for ordinary casual players, but for us hardcore gamers who want the ultimate challenge. Those who are just looking for rewards/achievements don't think like that.

[wintry lagoon]

Well me I just want the rewards I mean and if I would dead in end game or sum idk if I would do it again and do it multiple times so I completed it in my first attempt being pretty careful

[somber yarrow]

I've never cared about the weapon/cosmetic rewards in games. I play on the highest difficulty for the challenge it's reward enough for me

[thorn canyon]

bro is the david goggins of dying light 😭

[wintry lagoon]

Yeah I like the difficulty too I've did it on brutal on my first play trough did it was the highest at the beginning and did nightmare too I do that too but the restored land mode if there was no reward for the one life mode I wouldn't try it bc I've already beat the games multiple times

[somber yarrow]

That's what I mean, permadeath mode in games is for hardcore gamers who are looking for the challenge

[wintry lagoon]

Yeah of course it's not for everyone but tbh for a someone that know a little dying light and how to play it it's not that hard

[thorn canyon]

im there for the fulfilment platting all 3 and max legend in all three

genuinely fuck the plat for dl1 and 2 bro 😭

ESPECIALLY 2

960km my ass man

[wintry lagoon]

The collectible for the 2 it's the reason I didn't plat it there's too much I really don't like that that's the only one I didn't plat

[thorn canyon]

thank god i was already aware of the missable collectibles so i didnt have to start another ng+

still shouldve never been a thing but im glad that they learnt from it and didnt add any to dltb

and also reduced it from 960km to 10km

insane

[somber yarrow]

it was easy, had it after 2 months after release. I run almost all the time. I almost never use the grappling hook/paraglider

[somber yarrow]

Achievements that I will never get in the beast are travis races, gunslinger, firefighter, kill 666 in beast mode. because I refuse to use vehicles/firearms/beast mode

[viral glade]

Stop the cap bro xD

[thorn canyon]

BRO RELAX sometimes you can enjoy things 😭😭

[viral glade]

Anyone who says that is just lying I mean no offense but brother not to mention I think you give restored lands wayyy too much credit

[thorn canyon]

you do you but you dont gotta gloat about it lmao

[viral glade]

^

[somber yarrow]

Because I am a hardcore permadeath player, with over 3000 hours in total in other games with permadeath

[thorn canyon]

we can tell but not using some of the games core mechanics is kind of excessive in my opinion but you like it hardcore

[viral glade]

"Be like me man I don't use vehicles/firearms/beastmode/grappling hook/paraglider Im a haRdCoRe pLaYeR and I'm tough cause I don't use 90% of the games content to my advantage" Brother anyone who even remotely says they dont even use the grappling hook is 100% lying I dont mean to be rude but your just gloating

[shrewd raft]

I just looked at the chat 😭

[thorn canyon]

ur pfp sums up my reaction

[shrewd raft]

yea

[viral glade]

I really dont mean to be rude but come on

[shrewd raft]

people who says they don't use core mechanics are lying

I once beat dl1 and dltf without grappling hook and without vehicle and ong that was hell

and after that I glaze vehicles and grappling hook so hard

[thorn canyon]

no buggy is crazy

[viral glade]

I mean they can use or it not thats not what I care about what I'm laughing about is its just dumb not to use it and their choosing to make the game harder which is 100% unnecessary but gloating about it just kinda off

[thorn canyon]

i bet they dont play with their feet like me

[shrewd raft]

I also once beat dl1 with only survivor level 1 weapons and I swear that thing was pure hell

gloating about giving excessive handicaps in a game is just stupid and pointless

[somber yarrow]

I have always set my own rules when I play, and I follow them. and I said that I use the grappling hook/paraglider very rarely. and have not fired a single shot with firearms with my 2400h in DL2, the dying light games are melee for me

[thorn canyon]

thats tuff uncle

500 brownie points for u

[shrewd raft]

how many times you died at dl1 the arena objective, or dltb power gambit

[somber yarrow]

I don't remember it being that long since I died in power gambit, I have a good experience there after all the ng+

[somber yarrow]

xbx lordjohn66 is older than me 🤪

[somber yarrow]

Time to try to complete the 6th 1 life playthrough

[rich bear]

I essentially had to 100% DL2 twice, I was close to getting the final few achievements when my save got corrupted and I lost 160 hours, I just did it all again😂

[thorn canyon]

Damn is this a pc thing?

I hope so because I can backup my save on console

Can't*

[cobalt orbit]

The other saves took much longer. I think attempt 3 was about 14 hours, 4 was 11 so every death just made me go faster really just wanted it done with. I'm sure you could get it done sooner, I don't think I needed to get to level 14 but better safe than sorry

[rich bear]

Yeah it was my own fault I tried to play around with modding but ended up messing up the game files

[jagged snow]

@viral glade what were u saying about the Ciupaga

[stuck sinew]

Hello guys I was just wondering if anyone could answer a question for me I took part in the dismember limbs challenge during the long event to unlock the phantom outfit and the car skin but I’ve just logged on and I still haven’t received the rewards kinda bummed out as the outfit is very cool

Did I not log in at the right time or something? I thought I just had to take part in the event then the rewards would be sent to my stash once the event is over

[light grove]

You needed to log on before a deadline in february to claim it.

[stuck sinew]

Ohhh that sucks

Thank you anyway!

[light grove]

No problem!

Are you on PC? @stuck sinew

[stuck sinew]

No mate I’m on Xbox

[light grove]

Ah okay was gonna mention you can get the outfit via a mod

[stuck sinew]

Appreciate the information pimp

[hybrid coyote]

Take some deep breathes monke

[jagged snow]

Its my first time encountering one of them fuckers

[hybrid coyote]

He just wants your banana

Sharing is caring

[kindred plume]

i just started playing the beast WTF IS THAT VOLATILE I HAVENT SEEN THAT

[hybrid coyote]

It will try to touch all night long until you kill it

Then it will return next night for more touching

And it can smell you

[kindred plume]

kyle crane is a true gamer, he never showers or bathes

[light grove]

https://klipy.com/gifs/you-smell

Dang

[thorn canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/yuta-yuta-run-kurourushi-kurourushi-vs-yuta-sendai-yuta-gif-9149403115381842661

NOOO FUCK

THAT'S SUCH A GOOD GIF

[normal gorge]

this might be a little late but when i reinstalled the game in March i still got the rewards, i stopped playing after week 8 or so

[wintry lagoon]

🤣🤣 I got 3 of them spawn one by one in a dark zone

[pure rover]

You had one job…

[scarlet turtle]

The sanctuary axe is findable on zombies? I'm on beast within quest and found it on a zombie in the tunnel lol

[dense temple]

I DID ONE LIFE RAHHH I FEEL SO GOOD THIS GAME IS GREAT

[light grove]

Yaaay

[viral glade]

https://youtube.com/shorts/3aNRiHnUALE?si=lM2Hn9Ur2f3XP9Cx

[trim kite]

so in this mode not a single zombie respawns, right?

[viral glade]

Only the alpha and volatiles

[trim kite]

but not the random biters around the map?

like the one i just killed at the very start of the game will never return?

[viral glade]

Well actually runners sometimes spawn when your driving and one or two biters show up near safe zones but technically let's say 99% don't respawn

[trim kite]

so only the virals while driving, volatiles at night, and biters near safe zones

everything else stays dead?

[viral glade]

You also have the barons men at random checkpoint events but basically yeah

Like if your clearing the map of hordes like zombies out in the forest yes they don't respawn

[trim kite]

are the biters spawning near safe zones a bug or is that intended

[viral glade]

So for example the power gambit quest that water station you go to even after you get the safe zone 1-2 spawn near the ladder and their like wandering or eating a corpse I think it's intended idrk

It's like a technicality your able to clear the map but you aren't really able to which is why you really only wanna clear for the charm and drop the mode cause it turns into a driving simulator when your done

[main warren]

there are a lot of zombies that spawn as random events to kind of flesh out the world, different from the marked events that give loot for completing them

so even if you clear an area, you might see a legless zombie under a bench, or a zombie eating a dead survivor body

[viral glade]

That too yeah I hate those bench zombies istg

[trim kite]

aw that kind of sucks imo

i get the volatiles and virals while driving thing but i was kinda hoping to genuinely clear the world out for good

[viral glade]

Yeah the concept of what they were trying to do for this mode is amazing but unfortunately it falls short because the kill percentage you need for the 0/7 zones don't even count for most of the zombies it's just a rounded amount which is why you just wanna get it over with I mean you Can clear the map and drive in a clear map but there's always going to be another zombie

[nova gyro]

Also loot doesn’t technically ever run out as after you kill all the zombies, the people will keep giving you supplies.

[warped girder]

i agree its a little lackluster because it essentially serves as a kill counter and its if they just flipped the respawn switch off

not to mention it gets really boring and tedious clearing out every zombie

low threat clearing was miserable

[somber yarrow]

It would be boring if it was 100% zombie free, and 10-15 biters randomly spawning per area isn't much

[jagged snow]

why am i only finding beginner manuals in dark zones 🥀

[main warren]

are you above lvl 6?

[jagged snow]

im lvl 4

[main warren]

yeah, intermediate books don't spawn until lvl 6

and expert at 11

[jagged snow]

bruh

cant i create intermediate using 2 beginners

[main warren]

nope, you have to have looted 1 intermediate to unlock the recipe

[jagged snow]

okay so i can create it using them after i unlock it

okay not bad

[main warren]

I think that's when intermediates start spawning in stores too

[jagged snow]

yeah im looting stores

killed two volatiles somehow

[main warren]

I was always worried about how darkzones handle book spawns since darkzones don't respawn anymore, so I never looted more than 2 darkzones in old town until after I hit 6

[smoky drift]

played some restored lands

it's alright

[rich bear]

RL is definitely not for everyone, but its my preferred way to play the game now

[smoky drift]

i dont get the threaat level

[rich bear]

Basically as you kill infected it will start to lower, once you completely clear it out you will restore that region and npc will start to appear there, the threat level shows you more or less how many infected are still in a region

[smoky drift]

i couldnt see it going down at all

[rich bear]

Depending on the region there are a lot of infected, some regions are more noticeable then others

[smoky drift]

alright

[rich bear]

The mental asylum island and I want to say the Villa and recreation island regions are the ones that you will clear the fastest, the others will take a bit longer

[smoky drift]

okay cool

thank you

[austere eagle]

How do you complete dark zones and reclaim regions?

[rich bear]

You reclaim regions by eliminating infected, to clear dark zones you have to loot all the items, if you can't find any items to loot either restart your game or come back later, it forces items to spawn so you can pick them up to clear the zone, it doesn't always happen but sometimes items can be kinda invisible or glitched

[rich bear]

No problem

[austere eagle]

Like items would it want me to loot?

[rich bear]

all the items that spawns in the dark zones

an icon will flash in the corner of you screen when you have cleared a zone and on the map it's icon will then be grayed out

[jagged snow]

Risky but SO WORTH IT

[light grove]

Yeeeeeeaahhhh!

The best finisher

[jagged snow]

its my first time seeing that finisher its so good

[light grove]

Choke slamming volatiles yeeee

[hybrid coyote]

What if the volatiles like it in secret

[light grove]

My lawyer advises that I say nothing.

[hybrid coyote]

[lone tundra]

is restored land a whole different thing or is it just an update feature i saw the mode but idk if its only for new game+

[light grove]

Completely separate mode

[jagged snow]

Also im level 6 and im still not finding intermediate manuals in dark zones

[lone tundra]

oh dang im still on my first playthrough but i didnt know if it was worth it

ill check it out asap tho

[viral glade]

You get 2 new outfits, a charm and some achievements if you finish it all

[lone tundra]

oh cool

[outer holly]

can a admin of dying light the beast help me

something strange happend

[frosty cargo]

hi spiffo

[jagged snow]

What happened

[dim spindle]

Tell us more

[ebon locust]

admin of dying light the beast

[outer holly]

i'll put the issue on #1414506546330603520

[torn axle]

How good is the amulet you get by restoring the 7 zones?

[somber yarrow]

+30% damage biters

[torn axle]

Only Bitters?

[somber yarrow]

yes

[main warren]

it's strong but mostly unnecessary, it kinda just makes the easiest enemy type in the game die even faster

I think it shines most on the underperforming weapons that need the most help balance-wise, like daggers or just any weapons that don't have mod slots but have a charm slot

[frosty cargo]

lol whats the next update for the beast

[cobalt orbit]

Dude that really sucked :/ same kinda thing happened to me. I was at the very end, placed a c4 on the wall under the palace to get in, a good 10 seconds after it detonated, the explosion hitbox was still there and killed about 14 hours of progress. But don't give up, I went back at it and 2 attempts later, I got it done :) you got this!

[jovial delta]

Im starting RL, need tips, specially about heals

And food

[cobalt orbit]

Howlers in dark zones can drop Epic Bandages before you can even access Intermediate Manual Pages. They'll begin to drop Legendary Bandages at level 11 and above. They're a great source of heals early game if you're low on alcohol and rags. Spitters have Health Regen Boosters and Endurance Boosters to loot too. They also drop these at Epic Level and start dropping these at Legendary Level at level 11 and above too.

You should save as much as possible for the two backpack upgrades. At the beginning, you can't hold many consumables, weapons or gadgets. And your regular craft parts have a cap in this mode too. Scrap is capped at 100 without any backpack upgrades for example.

Food is kinda plentiful in this mode compared to Nightmare Difficulty. And sleeping has less of a negative impact on your hunger too. Just search any backpacks or bags lying around the map, they have a high chance of a food item being in them. You'll see a lot throughout quest progression. And vendors can sell food too if you're really stuck but, this honestly won't be much of an issue.

Don't ignore your sidequests either. Very easy source of XP and you can activate them, continue through the story, chip away at them as they come up in your path towards the main quests, you can finish most of them off by "going back to talk to the quest giver" which is usually where all of the "main quest givers" are anyway.

Hope this helps :D

[jovial delta]

Is the barefist-beastmode tactic good idea or should i avoid it?

[cobalt orbit]

It depends if you're comfortable with it or not really. I never used it, I kinda relied on using Beast Mode if my health was getting dangerously low or a lot of enemies etc.

If it makes you feel more comfortable having Beast Mode saved to use then sure! But I think you gain Beast Mode fast enough anyways playing without that tactic

Are you playing normally or on One Life mode?

[jovial delta]

Was thinking on starting with the 1 life mode, as far as i know if you die you can still continue that save in normal mode, just without the achievment, no?

[cobalt orbit]

Exactly like that. If I were to play One Life mode, I honestly wouldn't do the bare fist tactic because I'd be health conscious more than Beast Mode conscious but if it works for you, you can most certainly play that way :)

This mode isn't as difficult as Nightmare difficulty whatsoever. It's a very normal playthrough. You'll have plenty of batteries for your flashlight, plenty of food for hunger, it's just a little more tedious to play. The Alpha Volatile is in this mode so just be careful at night time. Other than that, you won't feel too out of order playing through it

[jovial delta]

I didnt have bad time with nightmare, but im pretty sure that I had a lot of things because I did it on NG+

[jovial delta]

Thank you very much

[cobalt orbit]

That's very true and exactly how I felt going into it. You got this though, best of luck on the one life run :)

[austere eagle]

Trying to get all the achievements in a single playthrough, so what would be the best and fastest way to clear out regions to reduce the threat level?

[cobalt orbit]

Doing all the activities in a zone lowers it quite. Safe zones, substations, volatile hives, dark zones so, most of it can happen very naturally. At the end though you're going to be stuck searching some areas. The farmlands is by far the most tedious

[austere eagle]

Does completing dark zone and hives actually count toward threat level, cause I haven’t really seen the bar change that much when I was doing them in old town?

[cobalt orbit]

It should do. It's a much more noticeable difference when all of them are cleared versus none of them. You'll notice in places that you think you haven't been to much have a lot of progress like the villa area and such

[austere eagle]

Also I’ve seen on one of the loading screens that there is a 3rd backpack upgrade, where would I find that?

[austere eagle]

Is there a way to lure lots of them out, or do I just have to search around?

[cobalt orbit]

Not really. There are just parts of the map that have higher numbers than others. At the end I was scouting every corner for zombies I may have missed, very tedious

As for the 3rd backpack, as far as we know there isn't one or at least it hasn't been found or figured out :(

[charred spindle]

Oh

[rich bear]

Regarding the "3rd backpack" I just think we all misunderstood the loading screen, logically we already have a backpack that we start the game with and the faded text most likely says talk to Doug and Jenna, the 2 named vendors for the 2 upgrades.
I think because their are 3 plus signs we all assumed their must be 3rd backpack but a lot of us have searched the map from top to bottom and found nothing.

[light grove]

Yup

Think that's pretty much it

[rich bear]

I also think Brata mentioned looking in the game files and only saw the 2 upgrades so that basically confirms it

[frosty cargo]

ok

[frosty cargo]

the good old game files

[frosty cargo]

is there anything interesting in the game files shadow

[rich bear]

I wouldn't be able to tell you 🤣 I never go browsing them because with my luck i'd break everything.

[frosty cargo]

ok lol

[gaunt tundra]

Would anyone be willing to give me blueprints from the one life mode or recent update? Chainsaw like weapon? Revive serum? Secret key?

[versed bridge]

You can't

There isn't coop

And that's lame tbh bro

[gaunt tundra]

Cant drop items in multiplayer mode?

[versed bridge]

In restored its only solo

[gaunt tundra]

I helped folks with blueprints b4? Some folks dont have time

[versed bridge]

Its seperate

[gaunt tundra]

Ok, thanks for the info

[smoky drift]

I got to the quest where I have to go to the power station

My first real human combat encounter I’m scared

[rich bear]

Guns is like a delete button for them🤣 , other wise throwing knifes are slow a good option, but if you are gonna go melee, learning to perfect counter will be your best bet

[smoky drift]

ok and are bullets from venders infinite?

I decided to try permadeath for no reason

will I cook???

[rich bear]

The vendors do restock yeah

[smoky drift]

Ok cool it’s just money that’s not infinite so I guess it’s balanced

[rich bear]

I am actually curios how long someone could go on in a single file, the resources will get less and less but with respawning npcs and encounters there will always be a way to get something

[smoky drift]

Oh ok I thought it was literally like fully limited

[jagged snow]

okay im convinced Restored Land has no manuals higher than beginner

ts pmo

[rich bear]

Maybe they are limited and you have to decide what items to upgrade?

[smoky drift]

Upgrade my dog

[jagged snow]

i cant find any

i looted the biggest dark zone in the game

killed 3 volatiles only for 4 beginner manuals

[rich bear]

My bad I completely read that wrong

there are higher tiers, what level are you?

[jagged snow]

im lvl 7

looted the School dz

[rich bear]

Cause they are level locked, I think around level 7 or 8 is when you get the next tier and then the final one starts spawning at level 13 or 14

[jagged snow]

someone told me lvl 6 is the intermediate

[rich bear]

Its been a while so i may be off on the levels, maybe go check some of the smaller dark zones in town

[jagged snow]

Purple manuals start appearing at character level 6, and gold manuals at level 11, so it's not recommended to clear all 20 dark zones (14 stores and 6 dark hollows) right away: it's better to leave some until you level up so you can later max out the most important blueprints (bandages, throwing knives, Molotov, some weapons, and some modifiers).

from DLTB wiki

[smoky drift]

Is Molotov good?

I have throwing knives rn

[rich bear]

Yeah they are pretty good to clear groups of biters

[smoky drift]

Ok good to know

Thanks shadow wolf za

Ur my BEST friend now

[rich bear]

group them together and one Molotov clears them out no problem

[smoky drift]

You didn’t acknowledge your new found friendship

[rich bear]

sorry my bad🤣 yes we be friends now

[smoky drift]

yay

[somber yarrow]

i have 63h on 1 save #🧭︱beast-spoilers message

[rich bear]

90h on my first, Im gonna see how long I can go on my 2nd run

[smoky drift]

Why second did u die

[rich bear]

No I beat one life on Survival, I started a Brutal one life run last night

[smoky drift]

Ohhh ok

Imaging beating the whole story and clearing everything just to die to fall damage

[rich bear]

that almost happened to me twice🤣

[smoky drift]

lol

[jagged snow]

YAY I FOUND IT

[rich bear]

afetr how many hours the mytical manuals were discovered

[jagged snow]

8 hours

My back is killing me

[modern shuttle]

anyone know why i cant throw the axe that comes back with F ?

The ciupaga

[light grove]

It's G by default

[modern shuttle]

Ah okay well but in the Controls it says F ? But i guess so 🤣

[light grove]

Wait

Am I drunk

Are you holding down the button to ready a power attack first?

[hybrid coyote]

Yes

Not a great example for the younger audience here

[light grove]

[hybrid coyote]

its your bedtime

You need 8 hours a day

[modern shuttle]

BRUUUH Thanks everyone im just stupid i forgot to charge the weapon 🤣

[undone cove]

it is f by def

[jovial delta]

Is there special loot or something like that in RL?

Says something about a backpack, how do I get that?

[outer void]

you buy them from the 2 vendors and there is a rumored third one

[austere eagle]

How much up do volatile nests have

[outer void]

wdym

[austere eagle]

Typo I mean HP

Like how much damage can they take before they go down

[outer void]

not much i think like 2-3 hits from most weapons

they aren't that difficult

[austere eagle]

Ty

[frosty cargo]

hii

[frosty cargo]

how are you doing

[austere eagle]

Tired of clearing

[frosty cargo]

what achievements do you have left

[austere eagle]

Just the Restored Lands ones

Gonna do them all in single playthrough

[frosty cargo]

did you do one life mode yet

[austere eagle]

I’m doing it rn

[frosty cargo]

what part are you on

[austere eagle]

A new strain but I’ve held off on the story quests for a bit as I’m gonna fully clear the National Park, Old Town, and Recreation Island first

Already did Old Town

[frosty cargo]

on one life mode that sounds really challenging

[austere eagle]

Plus doing every nest, dark zone, and convoy

I’m stressed tf out

[frosty cargo]

what difficulty

[austere eagle]

Survival

I’m not psychotic

[frosty cargo]

lol let me know how the run goes can i friend you

[versed bridge]

honestly some of the dark zones are just as deadly as baron, thats alot of Volitiles you have to kill

[dim spindle]

It is, just ensure you keep your distance else you might kill your self.

[frosty cargo]

yes plus they might one shot you

[frosty cargo]

hii

[versed bridge]

max out beast mode before you hit all the dark zones tbh

[dim spindle]

True, especially when the alpha volatile pays a visit.

[versed bridge]

Luckily , if you can escape from one chase sequence with him , he goes away

For a little bit

But honestly he never became a real problem.Because I bee lined for the grapple hook and its upgrade

[ember bane]

What's restored land

Is dying light the beast out with DLC already?

[cobalt orbit]

What I did for dark zones doesn't seem to be as popular but it worked flawlessly for me. I'd go in and kill the Howlers that replaced the Volatiles at night time. Ignore all the looting, all the other zombies, just fly up the floors and whatnot, focus the Howlers and leave before the Alpha spawned. As soon as it was daytime, I'd go back to all the dark zones I cleared of Howlers and the Volatiles don't spawn back in since the Howlers who replace them are dead. It's probably the slowest way of doing them since you're hitting most dark zones twice but it's by far the safest

[ember bane]

What howlers

[cobalt orbit]

Sorry I was referring to the chats above

[ember bane]

Oh right

[cobalt orbit]

New game mode, zombies killed don't respawn and loot picked up doesn't respawn either

[ember bane]

So the game is out?

[ember bane]

Is that a dlc?

[cobalt orbit]

No it's just a free game mode that came out about a month ago. If you update and load up the game it should be there

[ember bane]

Right boot up the game

I didn't even know it was already out

Is it good?

I just remembered dying light exists today

So I rejoined the discord

[cobalt orbit]

It's fine. It's not much different than the main game. It's nice to be able to clear areas and whatnot. A lot of new achievements and rewards for this game mode, including a One Life option. It's not the best thing in the world but it's a very nice change to the regular game if that makes sense

You still have to manage hunger and whatnot

[ember bane]

They added hunger to dying light?

Damn

[cobalt orbit]

Ah. You haven't played in a long time right?

[ember bane]

Yeah

I was on this discord like years ago I think

Then I checked out dying light 2

Didn't really love it

But it wasn't trash at least

Then the beast was announced and I was like "uhhhh??"

And forgot this franchise

[cobalt orbit]

Oh so you haven't played the beast at all?

[ember bane]

The whole "if push a man too much you might release the beast" thing

Was SO corny

[ember bane]

Nope

Like I said I remembered this franchise exists today

[cobalt orbit]

Ohh you missed out on a lot then lol

The Beast is much better than Dying Light 2 in mine and most people's opinion. If you have the time I'd definitely give it a go

[ember bane]

We play as Kyle again on this game right?

I'm curious about this DLC

[cobalt orbit]

Yep. It's nice to have Roger Craig Smith back in it. It's not as corny as the trailers made it out to be. That "release the beast" line isn't in the game lol

[ember bane]

Does it change the main story or something?

[ember bane]

Thank goodness

Restored land makes the game sound more like ||state of decay||

[cobalt orbit]

No no, it's just the gameplay varies slightly. Think of it as playing any open world zombie game but you're scavenging areas that stay scavenged and clearing areas that stay cleared. That's why they called it Restored Land

[cobalt orbit]

Exactly this

[ember bane]

Does that happen in the whole map of the game?

And does it change the map?

[cobalt orbit]

Yep. There's 7 areas you can clear. You get an achievement for doing so. You can see NPC's repopulate an area that's been cleared

[ember bane]

Oh neat

[cobalt orbit]

I'd play the main game first though. Just to get back in touch with the franchise. It feels very similar to Dying Light 2's movement and combat but way more optimised

[ember bane]

If they didn't populate the map then I bet the game would fall into some kind of uncanny valley

Like that zombies less project zomboid mode

[cobalt orbit]

You still kinda get that feeling lol. It's like subtle little "oh hey there's 2 people sitting on that windowsill" and then nothing for a little while

[ember bane]

Oh

But do you like

Manage settlements or something?

[cobalt orbit]

No no, it's still dying light with its focus on gameplay instead of that area

[ember bane]

Or is killing zombies and some people appear

If no zombies and a few random NPCs here and there is all that changes

It doesn't sound as interesting as it could be

[cobalt orbit]

I imagine it will get further updates and make it more immersive. For now it's more focused on resources and whatnot being finite instead of the world being at the players' control

[ember bane]

Well, at least is better than the same horde of zombies just growing out of the ground again

That NEVER made sense to me in videogames

Like c'mon

I know it's for GAMEPLAY

But it makes no sense

[ember bane]

Pause

Does resources not respawn?

[cobalt orbit]

Nope

[ember bane]

Oh

And you said you need food on this game mode right?

Wouldn't you just starve to death eventually?

[cobalt orbit]

This game mode and the "nightmare" difficulty in the main game has hunger and flashlight batteries to maintain

[ember bane]

And let me guess

You can't see volatiles in the minimap anymore

And survival sense is garbage

[cobalt orbit]

I guess? Vendors can supply some food. Sleeping costs hunger too. I never felt at a loss for food in my playthrough but I only played for 20 ingame days instead of some people's 90+ (there's a leaderboard)

[cobalt orbit]

There's no minimap in this game :)

[ember bane]

Dunno if this dying light gains much from hunger and battery mechanics

[ember bane]

WHAT

so how do you know where you're headed???

[cobalt orbit]

There's a compass on the top of the screen that indicates a few things. Quest objectives at infinite distance and then close by activities and safe zones etc.

[ember bane]

Oh okay

But there's a map though right?

Does the beast still have the killable volatile nests?

Can you hunt down all the volatiles and make everything safe?

[cobalt orbit]

Yeah yeah of course. I'd give the game a watch if you're still hesitant on it, it's a lot more close to Dying Light 1 immersion-wise. It was originally supposed to be dlc for Dying Light 2 so the game can feel like it sometimes, but they've optimised everything that it's still different enough to enjoy

[cobalt orbit]

Yes but not like DL1. Killing hives reduces volatile spawns though

[ember bane]

Do the hives stay dead?

Oh also

Please

Tell me they didn't bring back the cable puzzles from dying light 2

If they didn't I swear this is gonna be a must buy for me

[cobalt orbit]

They more or less didn't. It's not an elaborate 20 minute puzzle, more like a "grab this and put it a whole 5 seconds away" that happens so rarely I forget it's even in the game. Honestly if it was like this in DL2 everybody would've loved it

The sidequests in this game are the best they've ever been too

[cobalt orbit]

In Restored Land yes, main game no :(

[ember bane]

Oh

Well if restored land is a free game mode

I feel like I would play it on my first campaign

I've become very used to survival mechanics

Cough cough- kingdom come deliverance cough

So I don't mind it

And I feel like no respawning enemies should be a standard

Because it makes no sense to kill a horde of zombies and the next day they're like "hey Jim, fancy getting your shoulders bitten again? Same hour tomorrow?"

And another thing I just remembered

In dying light 1 and 2 I would run around with HUNDREDS of common materials

Because of the sheer amount of random crap that you get from looting zombies

So I don't think the "no respawning loot" would be a problem

Except for weapons

I know that you can only repair weapons a certain number of times

And if you can't find new weapons the hell do you do?

Throw hands?

[cobalt orbit]

Yeah it's why this gamemode appealed to me. Even back in Dead Island 1, Dead Rising and whatnot, I always wanted to clear the whole map. The only downside is stuff like legend levels are locked and you have a backpack capacity too, even for crafting items and consumables. It can be upgraded twice to hold more stuff and more of the same thing though

[cobalt orbit]

You can craft weapons in this one :)

[ember bane]

Oh nice

[ember bane]

Legends levels are locked?

What are you supposed to do after maximum level then?

[cobalt orbit]

In this game mode yeah. If you hit max level that's the furthest you can go level wise

[ember bane]

Why did they do that?

Sounds counterintuitive

Actually... When did this game mode come out?

Maybe that's something they're gonna change right?

[cobalt orbit]

I don't think they ever meant for this gamemode to be someone's "main game mode" if that makes sense. Techland will still always prioritise the main gameplay loop as the "main game"

[cobalt orbit]

Just a month ago or so? The end of March

[ember bane]

Huh

Okay

[ember bane]

Yeah but like

There's nothing to be gained from locking legends levels

They were always just a bonus thing

So locking them from a bonus mode is just silly

[cobalt orbit]

After all the zombies are gone, all the safe zones and other activities, story and side quests, there's not really any source of xp for legend levels

[ember bane]

So when you clear the whole map and missions then it's just like

Done?

Isn't there like a cutscene at least?

[cobalt orbit]

Basically nothing after. You get a few rewards depending if you beat it normally or on One Life mode. There's leaderboards for days survived, items looted, enemies killed and distance travelled. It's just a different way to play the game

[ember bane]

Oh

No wonder it's a mode and not a dlc

Speaking of

Is there dlc in the beast?

I don't even know why am I asking

[cobalt orbit]

Nothing as of yet. A few cosmetic bundles and stuff but nothing story wise

[ember bane]

Dying Light only had 1 awesome DLC

And it was The Following

Oh oh

Also

Do you get to assign areas to factions like in dying light 2?

[cobalt orbit]

I loved Bozak Horde for some reason. Always wanted to grind for a better time. "Hear that, the bomb on your ankle just activated" still rings in my ears to this day

[ember bane]

That mechanic was awesome

[cobalt orbit]

No no, nothing like that in this game. It's just you and survivors

[ember bane]

Oh

So like that's already one step back from the last game

[cobalt orbit]

Except the survivors aren't painfully insufferable like they were in Dying Light 2

[ember bane]

Does it do more things better?

[ember bane]

Gosh, it pains me to remember

But I gotta give to Techland, the map for dying light 2 was awesome

And I liked the injectors mechanic

[covert bison]

It’s more like dying light 1

[cobalt orbit]

Most things better for sure. Combat is incredible, night times are way scarier and darker again, story is better, looting is better, upgrading stuff is WAY better. Instead of upgrading every item NINE TIMES in Dying Light 2, you have manuals you can find that can allow you to upgrade things only 3 times. No grinding killing zombies for hours and hours

[ember bane]

Stuffed turtle 👁️👁️

[covert bison]

It’s a more “hardcore” feel,

[covert bison]

We don’t speak of that

😭

[cobalt orbit]

There's no fast travel which I thought was odd but I really like that design choice after playing the game a lot lol

[ember bane]

I tried doing the grind

I think the furthest legend I got was the low 100 somethings

113 maybe

Dunno

It's been a long time

[covert bison]

Yeah, I prefer the cars over the fast travel

[ember bane]

I'm used to that too

[ember bane]

They brought back the buggy?

[covert bison]

Tbh dl2 felt more like a light rpg to me kinda

[covert bison]

It’s a truck now

[ember bane]

Did they turn the buggy into a beast too?

[covert bison]

You can’t upgrade it but you refuel it

It’s pretty dope

[cobalt orbit]

I love this

[ember bane]

Awn no car upgrades?

It was soo cool in The Following

[covert bison]

It would be cool, but you hop around from truck to truck so it wouldn’t work

[ember bane]

Managing the suspension was a bit annoying early on but it felt so rewarding

[covert bison]

Unless he phantom upgrades them lmao

[covert bison]

Real

[cobalt orbit]

There's two skills in the skill tree for the trucks. But it's just less fuel consumption and less damage taken for them

[ember bane]

How many skills are there?

[covert bison]

But yeah, dltb is more like dl1 than 2

[covert bison]

A lot

[ember bane]

Does restored land add skills too?

[covert bison]

1 sec

I’ll look

[cobalt orbit]

21 upgradable skills, 2 skills you unlock by leveling up, 14 you start with and 13 beast skills

Quite a bit

[covert bison]

What he said 🥀

[cobalt orbit]

Sorry

[covert bison]

It’s okie

[ember bane]

So if I add those numbers up

The maximum level is ..?

[covert bison]

47

[cobalt orbit]

15

[covert bison]

No

[ember bane]

Wait what

[covert bison]

Not max level

[ember bane]

How is the maximum level 15???

[cobalt orbit]

Lmao. You get more than 1 skill point in the later levels

[ember bane]

If there's 47 skills?

[ember bane]

Oh okay

[cobalt orbit]

Some skills require 2 if not 3 skill points

[ember bane]

But 15 levels seems so low

[cobalt orbit]

That's why there's 300 legend levels :)

[ember bane]

In the main game mode

[covert bison]

There’s only 21 skills you spend upgrade points on, then 13 you use special points awarded to you

[cobalt orbit]

What he said 🥀

[ember bane]

Special points?

What?

[covert bison]

Beast points

[ember bane]

Elaborate?

[covert bison]

You get those from killing story bosses

[cobalt orbit]

Beast points are entirely story related

[ember bane]

Ooo

[covert bison]

Yeah

[ember bane]

Wait

So

Do we eat zombies

And get stronger

[covert bison]

You know the beast mode from dl2?

It’s exactly that I believe

[ember bane]

Yeah it was the most awesome parts of the story

[cobalt orbit]

Exactly that except actually good

And useful

[covert bison]

We are injected with basically super zombie blood

[cobalt orbit]

And togglable

[ember bane]

Oh

So like

Vampires

[covert bison]

Yes

Main character uses a blood draw device and injects it into himself

[ember bane]

Vampyle Crane

[cobalt orbit]

As cringey as the commentary is, the 30 minute gameplay that came out prior to this game releasing is a great way to see the game

[ember bane]

Here I was thinking the were doing a modern spin on werewolves

[covert bison]

Bc the “beasts” I’ll call them (idk if you’ve played dltb yet)

[ember bane]

Haven't

[covert bison]

Okie

[ember bane]

I found out it came out today

👁️👁️

[covert bison]

Nvm I just realized what I was gonna say was kinda a spoiler

[ember bane]

I don't mind spoilers

[covert bison]

Nd idk how to do the block out ink so ye

[ember bane]

Dying Light doesn't have that much of a interesting story

[covert bison]

Brother

Have you never dug deep?

[cobalt orbit]

This one is definitely the top tier story wise

[covert bison]

Yes

Truly

[cobalt orbit]

3rd person cutscenes 🗣️‼️

[ember bane]

Place || at the end and start of the part you want to censor

[ember bane]

Oh neat

[covert bison]

||this?||

Okie

That’s just saying this btw

[ember bane]

It didn't exactly hype me up with the edgy stuff I saw in the trailer

I just assumed the writing would be extremely action heroy and corny

And they went all out on gameplay

[covert bison]

SPOILER||But, the beasts(called Chimera in game) were experimented on and are basically roided up special zombies with powers sometimes.||

(I’m new to ts did I do good)/j

[cobalt orbit]

You did great truly living up to your name!

[ember bane]

Oh

[covert bison]

HELL YEAH

[ember bane]

So are those new zombies?

[covert bison]

The bosses are like the special zombies,(hags, demolishers, goons) but bigger and stronger

[ember bane]

Like we have the demolishers and goons and spitters and biters and volatiles and those ugly lanky jumpy dudes and the ugly leaper zombies with huge claws

[ember bane]

Oh okay

Anything new though?

[covert bison]

NOT that I know, but most likely

I’m not that far 🥀

[cobalt orbit]

Nothing "new" concept wise but execution wise it feels fresh

[ember bane]

I'm pretty sure I've seen "demolisher but bigger" from The Following

[covert bison]

No no, it’s different than them

Not actually just a sized up png

Like full new design but same concept

[ember bane]

Oh okay

[covert bison]

Yes

[ember bane]

I guess that would make them seem fresher

[cobalt orbit]

||Volatile that can turn invisible|| type stuff

That's what I mean by the execution of the same concept is freshened up

[ember bane]

Excuse me

A WHAT

WHAT WHAT

[covert bison]

WHAT.

[cobalt orbit]

It's in the trailer

[covert bison]

ARE THOSE THE BIG FUCKERS????(sorry if I’m not allowed to curse)

THE ALPHA WHATEVERS???

[cobalt orbit]

Nooo no no no. One of the Chimeras

[covert bison]

Ohhhh okay

[cobalt orbit]

Alpha Volatile is just tediousness for me

[covert bison]

Real

[ember bane]

Oh the alpha volatiles are back?

[covert bison]

They freak me out

[ember bane]

Volatiles but blue

[cobalt orbit]

Kind of. There's only 1 Alpha and it hunts you for the night

[covert bison]

Their design in gnarly

[ember bane]

Yeah I still have my memories from dying light

And they weren't very interesting

[covert bison]

There’s a guy in the beast chat saying dl has shitty combat system

Bruh

[ember bane]

Just more hp to chop off

[ember bane]

Nah the combat is awesome

They nailed the physics on the first game

[covert bison]

Tell that to him 😭😭

Look at it lmao

[ember bane]

Which is was I was so confused when I played dying light 2

[covert bison]

He’s talking trash ab the dodging the humans do

[ember bane]

They somehow messed with the perfect thing they had 😭

[ember bane]

Oh that's just a given

Every dying light game has the humans dodge and block like crazy

Until you drop kick them and blow their head off at least

[covert bison]

Only if you treat them like a zombie they do

Anyway🥀

[austere eagle]

3/7 of the region done

Hopefully they aren’t as painful as Old Town or the National Park

[cobalt orbit]

Have you done Farmlands yet?

[austere eagle]

No

Should I be worried

[cobalt orbit]

My sincerest of condolences

That one was the worst for me. Quite a lot of tall grass

You should search farmlands in this chat to give you an idea

[austere eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-flightreacts-heat-cheque-jordan-shoe-car-gif-3347974957334073454

[cobalt orbit]

It's not much worse than National Park but idk, it frustrated me more than it should have lol

I got farmlands done 3rd and was absolutely terrified of doing the others

[austere eagle]

Imma just drive a car into the asylum

Clear it quick

Im scared of the main quest for the asylum though

That chase may be a run killer

[cobalt orbit]

Oh are you doing it on One Life??

[austere eagle]

All trophies in a single run

My 1st playthrough ended quick cus of some stupid bug

But I wasn’t super far into that playthrough

So I wasn’t too mad about it

[cobalt orbit]

Ohh yeah I remember you telling me that yesterday or so. The fisherman island tower is quite close to when you get outside, just make sure you fully upgrade your grapple hook and it's not too bad. If not, you can run towards the asylum island tower, much further but more straightforward

Yeah 2 of my one life runs ended in a bug unfortunately :/

[austere eagle]

I was fighting Defect and my game black screened I popped right outside the gate to town hall and got mauled by a swarm of biters

[cobalt orbit]

Yeah there's really nothing worse than a bug like that. Completely unavoidable. At least you didn't have any achievements done by that stage right?

[austere eagle]

Nah I just wanted to get some levels before I started working towards clearing out the regions

So I didn’t lose anything

[mighty dragon]

Farmlands went by very fast for me, but it was also the last area to do and I had completed all the others and was basically max level

I ended up using the car a lot

[golden terrace]

Is restored lands fun? Like should i start with restored or the normal

[light grove]

Play the normal campaign first

[versed bridge]

Restored is like ASMR, its a cleansing

[smoky drift]

Hello

I know a thing or two about ASMR

[versed bridge]

I'm on the last 2 achievements. I only have one dark zone left, then beat one life

[versed bridge]

Nice

[smoky drift]

Why that emoji

[versed bridge]

?

[rich bear]

If it is your first playthrough I would also suggest a normal run

[versed bridge]

It ain't that deep

[floral pine]

Is there any trick to cheese One Life?

[viral glade]

ciupaga, parkour set, and boosters if you want to deal even more damage make sure their on fire

[floral pine]

Finished TB before, now I wanna finish RL too. Gonna try the casual achievements first and then One Life. Can it be cheeses like the nightmare run with a higher-level player in Co-Op that basically instakills everything?

[rich bear]

RL is single player only

[floral pine]

ouh damn, that's gonna be a tough one 😂

[rich bear]

Just play slow at the start, get some resources and food together, avoid night time as much as possible and do as many side quests as possible to level up above the recommended level of the main quests.
Special infected like spitters drop boosters, demolishers drop explosives and suiciders drop more money if you can kill them without them exploding.
Just some basic tips that I used when I did my playthrough

[versed bridge]

I'm probably going to do minimum number of quests for one life

I just wish I could wear my beaver suit while playing

[smoky drift]

The reaction thing

[versed bridge]

[somber yarrow]

It's just a matter of being patient and not getting angry when you die. It's always worked for me in permadeath/roguelike game modes. I just start over and play until I complete the task.

[rich bear]

Yep, Permadeath and RL is not for everyone, but playing it slow will reduce the chances of an unnecessary death

[versed bridge]

Are you ok?

[frosty cargo]

lol how are youu doing

[frosty cargo]

plus back out before you die

[frosty cargo]

i did one life if you need tips i can help

[versed bridge]

All achievements done. Except One Life. Here we go

[jagged snow]

if someone failed a mission would it be counted as death

or like

left mission area

[rich bear]

... I was to scared to test it 🤣

[versed bridge]

It should take you to the last checkpoint

[jagged snow]

i'll try when i finish this run

maybe run out of time

in a timer mission

[light grove]

I was wondering that - if you run out of time does that count as a death

[cobalt orbit]

I've don't think anyone's ever ran out of time normally in this game lol. What does the screen even look like?

[frosty cargo]

good luck let me know how it goes

[versed bridge]

I feel naked without my grapple

[versed bridge]

Now I heard in this new update , you were able to get the revive serum earlier.How early do they mean

[wintry lagoon]

Avoid night time when you can just play safe if u've already beat the games 1 times it should be good don't worry just be careful it's not that hard just stressful and do the fastest and easier side quest for up fast

[versed bridge]

I worry the most about the Alpha Volitile

[light grove]

Yeah he's... Fun

I killed him once after he bugged out but I didnt get the achievement

Which I kinda figured

[floral pine]

Restored Land makes me play the whole game again from scratch, but with more challenges and debuffs?

[errant creek]

I gave it a shot, died 4 times, got pretty far though, too bad its only solo

[floral pine]

I won't do One-Life yet, so I'll beat the game 4 times in total lol. Is there any new content that I should be aware of or is it The Beast, but harder and zombies stay dead?

[errant creek]

i completed the beasr with 2 friends when it came out, a bit buggy but playable. Played again with a friend who just bought it, we both came to the conclusion that the game is just too boring, we liked dl2 a lot more

and sure, the game looks very nice but the story and the rest 👎

[versed bridge]

there is a change on random encounters

the loot system is better

special zombies give great loot

the combat is better than D2 by far

[light grove]

It's not for everyone and that's okay.

[versed bridge]

facts

[floral pine]

I hated everything about DL2. The story felt off, the gameplay was worse than DL and god I missed the hook. The Beast was like what was planned, a DLC for DL2. Short, compact and fun for what it was.
Beat the game twice for all the achievements, now I gotta beat basically the same game again. If I don't want to be toooooo careful at every single outpost and sidequest, twice again. Not to hate, but maaaan

[versed bridge]

dont think about it as a differnet playthrough. its a cleansing

if you seperate it from the main game its much easier to enjoy

[floral pine]

Is the story or the sidequests different?

[versed bridge]

the land changes with your progress

missions do get easier when you clear the zones

[floral pine]

Restored Land would've been a banger for a current run or even a NG+, the concept of dead stays dead was something I always wanted

[versed bridge]

also there is a bunch of hidden stuff that isnt in the main game

and it also has

ALPHA VOLITILE

[floral pine]

nooooo

I still have nightmares about that thing rippin Kyle to shreds xD

[versed bridge]

beast mode attack are slightly faster

like the basic attacks

annnnd the juicy rewards

you cant tell me you dont want to stare at Kyle shirtless

you do also loot a ton of ammo from gun soliders

[errant creek]

I wonder where the series will take us next

[versed bridge]

hopefully in Oliva's bed

[floral pine]

The least she could do for us

[errant creek]

[versed bridge]

naw Aiden can take one for the team KappaPride

🥀

[floral pine]

Aiden can take the Chimera and Kyle gets Olivia

[jovial delta]

Whats the strategy with the volatiles in the dark zones?

[versed bridge]

the mist? or Banshee?

[versed bridge]

beast mode

[floral pine]

The Mist kinda hot tho

[jovial delta]

Is there any point in doing them early game?

[floral pine]

Good loot

[versed bridge]

if you can get an early book you can get a better UV or grapple

[jovial delta]

Sleeping on the Matriarch

[versed bridge]

or be a sissy and upgrade bandage first

[floral pine]

with*

[jovial delta]

I know, but im on one life and fiel like im going to get raw dogged by the volatiles

Plus, does the loot get better the more levels you have?

Should I wait

?

[versed bridge]

I cant give you adivce like that. you gotta weigh the pros and cons

if you got decent gear

and enough meds

if you just have lv1 UV i wouldnt

[jovial delta]

I see, thank you

[versed bridge]

i honestly only really did the dark zones when I was max level

[austere eagle]

I think I might be tweaking but are there supposed to be 2 volatiles on the 2nd floor to the Factory Offices dark zone?

Cus I fought two on the 3rd floor then killed one on the 2nd floor and the 4th volatile is no where to be seen and I’m afraid he’s gonna jump me

[versed bridge]

I think I only found 3

dont take too long or the 4th will be the Alpha

[austere eagle]

Nvm I have cleared

[austere eagle]

2 by the entrance?

[versed bridge]

yea

[golden terrace]

Is restored land a dlc or a side game mode

[versed bridge]

Its included, its a seperate save file. Its for real Beast players

[versed bridge]

Holy fuck, juggling Mist in beast form saved me

[sterile tusk]

I really like Restored Lands on Nightmare (latest version). Game is great so far. The only things I wish that could happen for a ultimate game for me. Modding questions or my talking points:

1. How can I slow flashlight battery drain by about 30-40%

2. Is there a way to remove the Alpha Volatile or have it chance based per night?

3. I wish the game had gameplay setting sliders for like damage taken, finding loot, etc to make it harder

4. Really want to see Nightmare Until Dawn - The Beast updated someday

5. What mods do you use to make the game harder for you?

[versed bridge]

Mods

The battery drain has never been a problem tbh

[sterile tusk]

yeah none are updated currently for what I would look for

[versed bridge]

There is plenty to loot from

[sterile tusk]

I prefer less loot

[versed bridge]

Plus it adds to the nighttime thrill

Then play normal mode?

Why cheat?

[sterile tusk]

yeah battery is not bad but wish it was a slight bit lower

I play on nightmare in restored land

[versed bridge]

Thats your choice

[sterile tusk]

just wish it was a bit more difficult

[versed bridge]

If you dont like the drain, downgrade diff

[sterile tusk]

battery thing is minor

[versed bridge]

Then dont mod it

[sterile tusk]

just waiting for Nightmare Until Dawn to update

that looks decent

[versed bridge]

But removing the Alpha why? Hes a good boy

[sterile tusk]

naw

not a fan

only that part

[rancid monolith]

I would assume the harder difficulties would be challenging. I play games on easy because I dislike difficult combat. Death isn't enjoyable for me. Difficult games usually get deleted from my hard drive. One thing I detested about Dyling Light 2 was the virals spawned too frequent. Though I can see that sparser loot can add more enjoyment to looting since you have to actually look for stuff you need rather than have a stacked inventory of everything.

Restored land looks interesting. I will have to try it.

[sterile tusk]

I love it

I am really enjoying it so far, i just want the immersion to go even further

[steady stream]

hi

i’ve been having a problem since yesterday. Every time I play, it loads from my latest save, but when I close the game and come back later, it puts me back at that same previous save again. It’s already happened to me twice. However, it does save me at the nearest safe zone to where I was.

[austere eagle]

What would the quickest way to clear out the Industrial Zone region?

While I’ve almost cleared out half of it, I feel like I’m running out of places to check

I only have 1 dark zone left in the region too

[feral yarrow]

||The reveal would be way cooler IF the characters were actually very well written 😄 This way it was just kind of "oh, cute" ... Also what are the odds that both "BEASTS" are the 2 protagonists ? Hahahhaa||

[novel palm]

son

[somber yarrow]

I'm the opposite, I almost only play games on the highest difficulty, often with hardcore mods that make it even harder. And if I'm going to be able to develop and become a better player, I have to push myself to the max

[somber yarrow]

I have several ideas for it, limited inventory in Restored land is a good new feature. needs to be ported to regular saves.

[ashen dirge]

Me Kyle. Me Angry. Me Smash

[somber yarrow]

Time to start a new One life playthrough, 6 completed goal is 10

[jovial delta]

I cant use the beaver skin in Restored Land 😭

[dim spindle]

What do you suggest to do during the first 3hrs of the game mode one-life (level up, side quest, main quest, kill zombies etc)?

Would be great to hear such feedback from you and maybe some tips and tricks😀

[somber yarrow]

Diamond ultra has a good 1 life guide https://youtu.be/qmDHTJLaERY?si=gJF8hJV1EUeXZ8VV

[strange hawk]

Guys

I need drops plz

On restored land

[somber yarrow]

restored land is solo only, so you get to grind by yourself 😀

[jovial delta]

Im on my first 1 life RL run, im no expert like the other dude, but I can positively advice to take it easy with the parkour so you don't die terribly

[versed bridge]

If you guys are doing your one life run , do not forget to get your redeemable blueprints in your stache

I mean , if you didn't do beast week , then 🇱

[somber yarrow]

I have so many hours in the game and have routine and experience. and with all the nightmare playthroughs that I have done. so I know what to expect on RL 1 life

[frosty cargo]

did you do it

[frosty cargo]

how many times have you died

[versed bridge]

I am making good progress, im taking it slow. I want a few upgrades before progressing

[frosty cargo]

thats good

[rich bear]

That is the best advice I can also give for doing a one life run and just want to finish it for the outfit and achievement, take it slow and steady, keep all the military medkits you loot for boss fights, special infected also drops boosters and explosives and also leveling up gives you more health which means you can afford to take a few extra hits in most fights.
Use guns on human enemies to just completely erase them as a threat.

[frosty cargo]

the military medkits really help

[rich bear]

Yeah that saved my ass a few times on the baron fight🤣

[frosty cargo]

i used legendary weapons for all the boss fights they really helped

like the throwing axe and the shotgun and machete

[rich bear]

I upgraded the sunset machete to max as well as the electricity and ice mods and used it through all the boss fights, for regular encounters I used weapons that I looted.

[frosty cargo]

thats good

[rich bear]

Have you finished your one life run?

[jagged snow]

I just killed a volatile in the nest instead of taking its sample alive

they let me restart so we good

[rich bear]

Okay that's really good to know

[frosty cargo]

yes i did

[novel palm]

Ig bro

[distant yew]

need multiplayer restored land

[light grove]

If you're on PC there's a mod for it but nothing for consoles unfortunately.

[vagrant kraken]

I need items to sell. Where can I find a good place? And the best weapon?

[somber yarrow]

Imagine joining someone who has looted most of the loot on the map 😂

[light grove]

Oh god

[somber yarrow]

It's also one of the reasons why drop in/drop out coop wouldn't work.

[main warren]

joining a game that is doing a bunch of side quests just to realize they've beaten the main story and like 80% of the biter population is just gone just running around doing nothing

idk what they were thinking with this mode

[jagged snow]

Killed all Chimeras in 1 life, im SO CLOSE

[modest flicker]

Very nice

[vagrant kraken]

who is the best gun?

[versed bridge]

Statement hands down

but the Legend shotgun is better but you need lv 300

both are good

[smoky drift]

A day late but I’m going fine, you?

[frosty cargo]

what mission do you have left

[frosty cargo]

good just going to make some food

[smoky drift]

Yes? I’m confused

[smoky drift]

Nice I finished my coding project so I have documentation work to do but I’m glad it’s finally working

[frosty cargo]

thats good

[vagrant kraken]

Is level 300 in Restored Land? How do I get there? I thought it went up to level 15.

[versed bridge]

i thought u were asking best gun, but yeah thats only in normal

statement holds up all game

[vagrant kraken]

I can't reach level 300 on restored terrain, can I?

[versed bridge]

sadly no, there is no Legend levels in Restored

[vagrant kraken]

okey okey

[vagrant kraken]

Aren't you bored? What are you doing?

[versed bridge]

I am on the last achievement for ps5 I need

one life

then I will work on my speedrun again

retake the Wr

I do NG+

[jade peak]

your on ps5?

dam gang 🤞

[versed bridge]

[jade peak]

u heard the age verification BS sony's rolling out?

you ready to give your id to sony in order to yap to friends? 😭

i feel bad for you twin 🤞 🥀

[versed bridge]

I ain't doing none of that

[somber yarrow]

UK & Ireland

[jagged snow]

Im guessing the town hall attack and the beast

And baron

[frosty cargo]

ok

[austere eagle]

I’m not at that part yet but what are some tips for the Aiden fight, along with the quad chimera fight?

Plus wraith

[rich bear]

For Aiden, be patient, get a few hits in and dodge, play that fight as safe as possible.
For the 3 Behemonths I rushed the first one while it was getting out of the chamber to get it under control by Lydia as fast as possible and then while it was keeping the other two busy I was getting hits in, backing up and circling them and waiting for openings.
For wraith you can either set him on fire or in my case I had a weapon mod that applied bleeding so I could see the cuts and blood even if he was invisible, just handle him the same way as Aiden, put in a few hits dodge and wait for it to finish a few attacks and repeat.

[turbid shoal]

the most dangerous parts are to me Aiden/Mental asylum

Even the baron was not that hard, def challenging tho

[rich bear]

The mental asylum is quite easy, just stay crouched and keep moving, so long as you don't move to close to anything you are fine

[turbid shoal]

Wraith? Mine everything, where he spawns, where he will approach you

takes a good chunk away

use the UV flashlight

[turbid shoal]

no that is not the problem the problem is it can bug and suddenly you trigger everything I had this once

and on top of that when u escape the asylum you will be at night running in the middle of nowhere around and that was for me always a death

[novel palm]

mental asylum gotta be like the easiest scariest mission

[rich bear]

I only had that bug when the game launched and we were playing in co op

[turbid shoal]

at least you can just quit haha

[honest badger]

Hellooooo

[rich bear]

Make sure to capture the safe spot on the little island or complete the side quest that takes place there, just run through the garden and jump into the river and the chase ends

[turbid shoal]

you do not even have to be crouched for the most part

[turbid shoal]

so that is how u do it, hmm yea i guess i would spam my UV bars and then run to the safe zone without any equipment you are as good as dead in my experience

[turbid shoal]

btw if you get downed and "revived" can you just pause the menu quit and then come back, is this how you can cheese, or will it eat your revive

[rich bear]

I have never used a UV bar 🤣 they are all in my stash

[novel palm]

straight up gave them to my friend

[rich bear]

I have beaten one life already, I don't use cheeses like that, If I died then I would just restart

[novel palm]

i always make the dumbest mistakes so i havent gotten that far

[rich bear]

Thats why I play one life completely different to the way I play the normal game, playing it slow and steady means less mistakes, I dont rush the parkour sections as thats an easy way to fall and die if you mess it up.

[novel palm]

im ac

actually impatient

at most parts

[turbid shoal]

so far I only died because of a bomb and because of the asylum and the beast, other than that I am ready for one life

it is mostly 0 difference for me

as I die rarely

[novel palm]

whats the best way to get loot?

i just kill every zombie i see

[turbid shoal]

Covoys, obviously and dark zones

[novel palm]

hm

ill try that

[turbid shoal]

Get the cuipaga, it is the best weapon in restored land

why? more loot

it has a loot bonus

[novel palm]

the what

[turbid shoal]

also upgrade the blueprint to legendary

[turbid shoal]

is an axe that always comes back to you when u throw it

[novel palm]

oh

that

[turbid shoal]

is an easteregg weapon

[novel palm]

its on one of the houses

in the forests

right?

[turbid shoal]

extremely powerful makes the restored land run maybe even too easy

yea

[novel palm]

ill try going for that to

[turbid shoal]

Since you throw it, 2 times biter dead

and with the throwing bonus it makes 100% more

so if it does 500 dmg it does 1000 or even more

since throwing deals more dmg

[novel palm]

holy

yeah but u also need armor

[turbid shoal]

correct

[novel palm]

is it darkzones?

[turbid shoal]

get the best armor as early as possible

[turbid shoal]

the chest piece is in old town

the gloves are in school

idr the rest

[novel palm]

thats good to know

thought it was just random

[turbid shoal]

fixed

also get the reinforcements

tip, shaft, grip

for grip i would pick reinforcement

for more durability

also upgrade ur UV flashlight to the max asap

it is so OP

it makes basically every fight (except the chimeras/humans) much easier

and max the grappling hook

with it you can just pull a human/any normal sized zombie towards you, headstomp that mf

done

there is no faster and more efficient way except bullets imo, also get the headstomp asap

that is what I did, go straight for durability/headstomp, with the durability charm ofc

get safe landing first then straight to headstomp, nothing else imo

but I do think the flame thrower can be v handy, u have so much fuel and resin

you might actually benefit from the flamethrower a lot to safe resources, but I might be wrong

@novel palm where are you currently in the game

[novel palm]

at the start

ive restarted alot

[turbid shoal]

safe landing is key, since you are clumsy sometimes

it will safe ur ass

a lot

[novel palm]

active landing?

[turbid shoal]

yea mb

active landing

[ashen dirge]

@novel palm Get the throwable axe that returns to you

[turbid shoal]

already told him

[novel palm]

yeah dodge mentioned that

[ashen dirge]

Good

[turbid shoal]

is the best for restored land

[novel palm]

idek how yall figure this out so quickally

[ashen dirge]

Completely broken but fun

[turbid shoal]

i mean i played the main game

[novel palm]

it is not really the same

[turbid shoal]

and restored land mode is out since 2 weeks or so

[novel palm]

since u kinda got one life

[turbid shoal]

it is vastly the same with a few tweaks imo

[novel palm]

u cant play for fun u gotta play sfe

[ashen dirge]

Did you tell him to get the revive serum?

[turbid shoal]

u can play the mode without one life, one life is optional just FYI

[turbid shoal]

i hope so, you gotta get it asap, they updated it btw you can get now the serum right from the start

[novel palm]

i want to play one life cuz its actually challenging

[turbid shoal]

• a rare rifle and ammo

[ashen dirge]

@turbid shoal yesir

[turbid shoal]

@novel palm got it?

you can get the revival serum at the beginning

[novel palm]

where
