In mid-April 2025, Techland rolled out an exciting update for Dying Light 2: Stay Human, identified as version 1.22. This patch has brought a treasure trove of new features, such as freshly minted weapons, refined user experience layouts, and enhancements to multiplayer gameplay.
February 4 marked the three-year milestone since the release of Dying Light 2: Stay Human. Polish gaming company Techland has consistently been nurturing this open-world RPG with updates to keep players engaged and thrilled.
Continuing their tradition, Techland unveiled this new update, 1.22, that introduces co-op and UX enhancements, alongside a deluge of fresh content. Fans of the game can rejoice with the return of the Tower Raid mode, now boasting 27 new weapons, including three unique Elemental Pistols. These additions aren’t just mere trinkets; they possess special traits that can significantly shift playstyles and strategies, thus pushing players to innovate. Even the Tower Raid prizes have been refreshed, including tempting exclusive cosmetics and items, such as the snazzy Breach outfit.
Furthermore, Techland has aimed to streamline the game’s UX to make it easier for players to claim their Tower Raid rewards at their own pace. Thanks to these refinements, players can now conveniently collect unlocked items without a hitch. This update also introduces minor HUD modifications to ensure players are promptly informed when they earn new accolades.
The mid-April patch has also fine-tuned Dying Light 2’s cooperative play by ironing out bugs and synchronization-related enemy behavior issues, enhancing the flow of multiplayer interactions. Important HUD updates have been made to enhance clarity and provide a flawless visual experience. On top of that, the developer tools now host a new visual mods tool, offering players on PC the chance to creatively customize the look and feel of environments, weapons, and attire. Console players waiting eagerly for this feature will be pleased to know that there’s a plan to bring this tool to them in the future.
Update 1.22 marks the commencement of Techland’s ambitious roadmap for 2025. Fans can look forward to a grand summer event celebrating a decade of the Dying Light series, a spooky Halloween treat, and a major fall update expected to parallel the significance of 1.22. The year will culminate with another enchanting Dying Light 2 Winter Tales event.
Dying Light 2 Update 1.22 Patch Highlights
Tower Raid – New Weapons and Rewards
The latest update enriches the arsenal with 27 additional weapons, including 24 Elemental Weapons and three highly requested Elemental Pistols. Each new addition encourages players to adopt new gameplay strategies and adjust their styles. Alongside this enhancement, the updated rewards entice players with exclusive skins and items, including the sought-after Breach outfit, inspired by the original Tower Raid skins.
The update has also introduced several UX improvements to make sure the reward system is as efficient as possible.
