He further added that players will still find high-tier weapons, but now, will be more expensive and rarer. Szymon advised players that building weapons from scraps and other materials found during exploration would be beneficial to players.

Szymon Strauss answers some questions

On the question of the durability of weapons, Szymon replied, “It depends on the class of the weapon. A high-quality axe which is a rare thing to find would be more durable than something made on the fly.” He also said that the latter would break after a couple of fights due to the blade coming off or something else.

The game producer also recommended players carrying at least one modded weapon as this will be effective in fighting special enemies. While discussing combat, Szymon also shared personal techniques to ward off enemies. He says, “Try to find a higher ground lure down your enemies like biters with a decoy. Let’s say firecrackers or meat bait and then throw a grenade.”

According to the producer, it will be fun to play with. Dying Light will feature 200 different weapons for players to use and keep. 

When asked which is his favorite weapon, Szymon said, “The electric machete classic and stylish.”

Dying Light 2 Stay Human will give greater importance to the narrative when compared with its predecessor.
