If you’ve been looking for more of a challenge from Dying Light: The Beast, then you’re about to get it. Developer Techland has dropped Update 1.5 for Dying Light: The Beast, and it’s giving players the chance to test their skills in the Nightmare Experience.
To turn up the heat on players, human and infected enemies are now smarter, more aggressive, significantly stronger, and more reactive to the players’ actions. Volatiles may now even appear during the day in some of the Dark Zones, and players have far fewer resources to deal with them all.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s a new super enemy, the Alpha Volatile. Techland calls it “the most intelligent Volatile in the history of Dying Light.” It’s even smarter than the traditional Volatiles and its heightened senses can track the player across the entire map unless they reach a safe zone. The Alpha Volatiles can be killed, but good luck trying to pull that off. At night, the player is the prey for this creature. Players can also get new finishing maneuvers, including one-handed blunt weapons and one-handed slashing weapons.
