New Pumpkin Patch Update for ‘Lords of the Fallen’ Rings in Halloween, New Gameplay Mechanics and Fixes

Techland has pulled another crossover event out of left field for Dying Light 2. This time, World of Darkness’ Vampire: The Masquerade has paid a visit, just in time for Halloween.

After teaming up with Starbreeze and PAYDAY 2 during the summer, Techland is kicking off a week of The Frightening, with the first part of the in-game event starting today, October 26, until next Thursday, November 2 for free for all Dying Light 2 players on PC, PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Xbox One consoles. The Kindred from Vampire: The Masquerade come to Dying Light 2 to lay waste to everything, and it’s up to you to stop them.

On this occasion, players will be more likely to cut off limbs and inflict more damage at night, and will also get a taste for blood. Vials of Banu Haqim, Brujah, and Tremere Blood will grant characters temporary powers focused on Combat, Traversal, and Survival. Vials can be found while looting Dark Hollows or Forsaken Stores, and by defeating Volatiles, Tyrants, Hives, and Revenants. Plus, players will be able to reach goals in exchange for vampiric rewards.

Players can meet the Event’s goals by completing Bounties and fulfilling Challenges (at a silver level, minimum) – or combining both. A player who carries out one will reach the Participation Goal – getting three Vials of either Banu Haqim, Brujah, or Tremere Blood. Completing five reaches the Warm-Up Goal, which yields the Bloodbane Blade weapon and blueprint. The Personal Goal, featuring the Banu Haqim outfit, requires 11. And if all players, together, complete 775,000 bounties and/or challenges during the event, everyone will get a Banu Haqim Charm for their weapon as well as the Haqim’s Ascent paraglider skin complete with a night glow effect appropriate for the Children of the Night.

And to sweeten things, depending on which clan you choose to identify with, starting on Thursday, November 2, Dying Light 2 players can purchase special Banu Haqim, Brujah, and Tremere Bundles via the in-game store for 500 DL Points. The full Banu Haqim Bundle can also be assembled for free by completing the Vampire: The Masquerade Event’s Goals.

Dying Light 2 is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
