Mastering Combat in Dying Light: The Beast
Combat in The Beast is lightning-fast, blending melee, ranged, and stealth. Reinforced blades, dual pistols, and throwable gadgets open creative kill-chains, while parkour keeps you one leap ahead of the horde.
Learn every beast’s tells, strike from rooftops or shadows, and you’ll survive even the highest-level zones.
Combat Tips
- Chain melee combos with pistol finishers to balance stamina and DPS.
- Flash-bang and gas canister gadgets split packs—capitalize before they regroup.
- Stay vertical: rooftop runs and wall kicks confuse the beasts’ path-finding.
- Studying attack animations lets you time perfect dodges and counter-slashes.
- Never empty your stamina bar; a single mis-timed swing can be fatal in tight alleys.
- Upgrade weapons and mods frequently—late-game armor plating doubles blade durability.
