Dying Light Patch Adds Hard Mode

Techland’s recently released zombie survival action game has just gotten a new patch, which adds a new difficulty level.

This new patch 1.05 will hopefully satiate players who felt that the game became far too easy once players attained high-level weapons that were capable of killing just about any foe in one hit.

In addition, four new outfits have been added to the patch, which can be unlocked by finishing the story campaign once.

50 new weapons have also been added, beefing up the game’s already considerable arsenal, which currently consists of just about every blunt and sharp weapon conceivable.

A new Gold class weapon level has been added, and, in keeping with its name, is that much harder to find.

Beyond that, patch 1.05 contains a number of balancing tweaks and fixes to multiplayer. The full patch notes are below:
