Dying Light: The Beast – Five Survival Tips from Lead Producer Szymon Strauss
As the zombie apocalypse returns with a roar in Dying Light: The Beast, Lead Producer Szymon Strauss shares five essential tips to help you stay alive in the dark, dangerous depths of Castor Woods.
-
Master the Parkour – Your Life Depends on It
Movement is your greatest weapon. Use the environment to your advantage—climb, leap, and slide across rooftops and ruins to outmaneuver the hordes. The faster you move, the more time you gain to plan your next attack or escape. -
Time Your Runs Like a Pro
Nighttime is when the monsters truly thrive. Stick to daylight runs when you can, and only venture out after dark if you're well-prepared. Use the city’s rhythms to your advantage—know when the Chimera are most active and when to hide. -
Study Your Enemies – Especially the Chimera
These hybrid nightmares aren’t just stronger—they’re smarter. Learn their patterns, watch for tells, and adapt your tactics. Each Chimera boss has unique abilities and weaknesses, so observe, then exploit. -
Choose Your Weapons Wisely
From chainsaws to electrified batons, The Beast introduces some of the most brutal and creative weapons yet. Equip tools that suit your playstyle—whether you’re a close-quarters brawler or a ranged tactician. -
Use the Environment to Your Advantage
Set traps, lure enemies into explosive zones, and use the terrain to create choke points. The world is your ally—ignite gas tanks, collapse structures, and turn the battlefield into your weapon.
