Today is a day for celebration. Not only are we sharing our brand new look website (pretty swish right?), but the latest Dying Light: The Beast patch has fixed one of the game’s biggest annoyances.
Of course, in a zombie game, you should expect that zombies are going to want a piece of you. Hell that’s their raison d’etre. But my word, are the zombies in Dying Light: The Beast grabby. Thankfully, developers Techland have listened to player feedback and have tweaked the handsy nature of the Biters.
The latest patch has just dropped for the third game in the Dying Light series, addressing a number of performance issues in the game, as well as the aforementioned grabbers. This includes some issues relating to quests and progression, including a bug where players could get trapped in a safe zone due to respawning barricades.
Check out the full patch notes below.
