Summary
Dying Light 2’s Tower Raid mode makes a return in the game’s newly released 1.19 update. The activity was removed around the timeDying Light 2received its previous update in August.
In June, Techland gaveDying Light 2players the opportunity to try out the beta version of a new activity called Tower Raid. The mode, which was inspired by thepopular zombie shooter’sVNC Tower mission, essentially turned the game into a roguelike experience that rewarded people with loot for reaching the end of a dungeon - in this case, a skyscraper. Many found Tower Raid to be a fun and challenging activity, but it was ultimately removed after the beta period ended. Techland, however, has brought the mode back toDying Light 2via a recently released patch.
The 1.19 update forDying Light 2that went live on October 30 introduces Tower Raid: Halloween Run, a version of the beloved activity that is based on everyone’s favorite annual celebration involving costumes, treats, and scares. This iteration features a new final boss, three additional floor types, and a set of Halloween-themed characters that people can play as. Each character has a unique loadout, trait, and playstyle, makingDying Light 2feel more like amodern class-based shooterthan a zombie survival game. Scarecrow, for example, has a larger pool of health, while Van Aiden deals more ranged damage.
