Quick Links
Players were warned that Dying Light 2 was going to be massive and that proved to be the honest truth. The city Aiden finds himself in is sprawling. To the joy of gamers, every block is stuffed with personality, secrets, and treasure just waiting to be discovered.
However, the learning curve in Dying Light 2 is steep. Running through the game and hoping to find every collectible, upgrade, or secret isn't going to work out. And that's what the community is there for: to share knowledge with each other until everybody has what they need to feel like a true Dying Light 2 master.
Strategies and Advice
What makes Dying Light 2 different than any other game where players just follow the waypoint on the map until arriving at their destination? Yes, getting from point A to B is part of the game, but what makes this installment unique is that getting to that point is only the beginning.
Once arriving on the scene, players can be asked to run a course, climb a building, fight a boss, solve a puzzle, or do any number of complex tasks. Many can be done right away, some require specific skills and abilities. Those who are looking for Aiden to be the very best version of himself are in the right place.

How is this obstacle course possible? Where is that house supposed to be? When is the target going to get to the designated spot? Missions aren't always straightforward, not always on the map, and often require certain skills or pieces of equipment.
Instead of just giving up and coming back later or, worse still, uninstalling the game, don't be afraid to check out a guide on how to achieve victory. Sharing knowledge is part of being a gamer. Those who are good can always get better!

Weapons, Gear, Unlocks, Collectibles, And Secrets
Look at the size of this city. Seriously, get to the top of a windmill and try to see from one end to the other. It's not possible in a single view. Plenty of games boast about the size of the map and forget to fill it with anything intriguing. Dying Light 2 doesn't make that mistake.
Players looking to find everything the game has to offer might very well be playing for years. That's part of the fun. Turning over every stone is exciting and rewarding. The prizes for this exploration can be everything from cold, hard cash to new forms of travel.

Discussions, Opinions, And Mods
Beyond just playing the game, people can't help just talk about the game itself. There is a lot to marvel at that is here already. The art style, the physics, the controls, each of these is a tree in this forest and there is a great saying about not missing the forest for each individual tree.
But this is only the rich ground floor. With DLC in the works and consistent patches, what's going on in the game will only get more interesting. Players have a lot to talk about and that list is growing. Chat it up, it's fun to think about everything in the works for Dying Light 2.
