There have been a number of modders who have already dedicated themselves to improvingDying Light 2with their own contributions. Among a number of other add-ons, there’s one standout patch that creates a hardcore mode for the game.

As far asopen world zombie gamesgoes, Techland’s latest offering has been hotly-anticipated for years now. Upon release, it was met with some praises, but many were somewhat disappointed with the overall outcome, especially when compared to the original 2015 game.
