Dying Light
The third major enhancement for Dying Light has been revealed and now we are getting a Nightmare Mode for Dying Light with its own bonuses and drawbacks
If you thought Dying Light was getting too easy over the last year then you may have something to look forward to for the next major update coming to the game. If you are just in for a huge challenge though then this may also be for you as Techland is bringing us a new difficulty mode for Dying Light in terms of “Nightmare Mode.” This would be the third major update coming for free to the game when the new The Following expansion lands on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. You have to love free stuff and this looks like one bit that will be the true addition to keep players going in Dying Light.
Nightmare mode here extends the difficulty just beyond the Hard Mode currently in Dying Light in terms of night length, enemy strength, and weapons available. The only thing that doesn’t seem like a sheer number though in those terms would be the fact that all “Easter Egg” weapons are disabled while playing Dying Light in Nightmare Mode. Not only will things be harder but all of those awesome tools and gadgets will be gone from use? Holly shit Techland isn’t fooling around with this mode in Dying Light. Especially when you tag on the fact that all XP earned during your run will be lost back to your current level. Even if you are 99.9% almost to that next level.
So Nightmare Mode has some harshness but what bonuses are we going to get for playing Dying Light on this mode? Well it looks like we’ll gain XP a lot faster and up to another 30% faster on top of that if we team up with three other players in the mode. That would be a base of 10% more XP per extra person on your squad. Also the drop rates for “Gold Tier” weapons will be increased to try and help out. In the end though it looks like Attack-And-Flee tactics will be the only true way to make it through Dying Light on this mode. Didn’t we already play the game like this in the first place or was it just me?
Dying Light — Survive The Nightmare
“We’ve designed the Nightmare Mode for those seeking a really challenging and immersive experience. Nightmare Mode takes everything that was brutal in our Hard Mode and twists it even more” – says producer Tymon Smektała. “We’re trying to bring the Dying Light experience closer and closer to the feeling of a real apocalypse survival experience where every move you make can really determine if you live or die. We’ve added one bit of salvation though. Playing Nightmare Mode in co-op will earn you XP faster and increase your chance of finding gold tier weapons.”
