The second chapter of Dying Light 2: Stay Human is here via a new patch. Update 1.6.0 introduces a new chapter agent, as well as new weapons and more dangerous enemies, among other things.
Shen Xiu, also known as the Huntress, is the newest chapter agent in Dying Light 2. She’s an expert in ranged weapons and is a member of the Hunters faction, a group of talented huntsmen dedicated to tracking down and eliminating the Infected.
Players will also be facing new enemies in Update 1.6.0. The most fearsome of all is the Hag - a threatening variant of the Banshee that can turn human enemies into Plaguebearers. What makes the Hag a formidable foe, aside from being able to infect humans, is her speed. She’s so fast and agile that close-quarters combat is not an option. Fortunately, new ranged weapons, such as the Hunter’s Crossbow and Ballista Bow, have been introduced to help players fight these new threats.
Although Chapter 2 is now underway, players can still access all of the content featured in Chapter 1. In fact, the previous Chapter Agent, Harper, has new bounties to offer and gets a brand new weapon and blueprint.
