colorize Combat & Gear
Weapons Overview
  • Pulse Rifle: Primary Firearm
    Zula's most reliable weapon, an iconic firearm from the 'Aliens' film.
  • Shotgun: Primary Firearm
    A powerful close-quarters weapon, effective for dealing with charging Xenomorphs.
  • Revolver: Sidearm
    A six-shooter handgun, likely used as a backup weapon when primary ammo is scarce.
  • Melee Weapons (One-Handed & Two-Handed): Various (Axes, Maces, Swords, Machetes, Hammers, Knives, Pipes, Bats, Knuckledusters)
    The primary combat tools. Weapons have rarity tiers (Common to Artifact), durability, and can be enhanced with craftable mods (e.g., adding elemental damage like fire/shock, increasing impact, critical chance, or durability). Different weapon types have varying attack speeds, damage, and special properties (e.g., blunt weapons good against armor, slashing against unarmored).
  • Bows & Crossbows: Ranged (Silent, Precision)
    Silent ranged weapons ideal for stealth and taking out enemies from a distance. Various arrow/bolt types can be crafted (standard, fire, shock, explosive, poison, UV). The PK Crossbow is a powerful late-game reward.
  • Throwables: Tactical/Explosive/Utility
    Craftable items like Molotov Cocktails, DIY Grenades, UV Bars (temporary UV light source), Decoys (to distract infected), Mines, C4, Throwing Knives.
  • Gear & Consumables (Boosters): Utility/Buffs
    Boosters provide temporary enhancements to combat, parkour, health regeneration, or resistances. Medkits are essential for healing. Craftable using herbs and other resources.
  • UV Flashlight: Defensive Tool
    An essential tool, especially at night. Its UV light weakens and repels Volatiles and other light-sensitive infected, creating temporary safe opportunities. Can be upgraded for intensity and duration.
  • Firearms (Limited): Ranged (Ballistic - Rare)
    While the game is primarily melee-focused due to ammo scarcity in The City, some limited firearms like makeshift pistols or shotguns (e.g., 'Boomstick') can be found or crafted, but ammo is extremely rare and they are generally less sustainable than melee or bows.
Armor / Gear Sets
  • Colonial Marine Armor: Zula wears standard Colonial Marine armor. The game does not feature an armor upgrade system; survivability is based on skill and finding health stims. Cosmetic armor skins are available.
  • Gear Pieces (Head, Chest, Gloves, Bracers, Pants, Shoes): Players equip six pieces of gear, each belonging to a specific class (Tank, Brawler, Medic, Ranger) that provides bonuses tailored to that playstyle (e.g., Tank gear offers more damage resistance, Brawler gear more melee damage). Gear has rarity tiers (Common to Artifact) and provides stats like armor, damage resistance, and specific perks (e.g., +% damage at night, reduced stamina cost for parkour). Gear can be found, bought, or earned as quest rewards.
  • Cosmetic Outfits (Transmog): A transmogrification system allows players to change the appearance of their equipped gear to look like any other gear piece they have collected, without altering its stats. Many full cosmetic outfits are also available through events, DLC, or store purchases.
Outfits/Customization
  • Cosmetic Skins: The Digital Deluxe Edition includes a 'Blue Camo' armor and weapon skin. Pre-ordering the game granted timed exclusive 'Alien: Romulus' inspired armor and weapon skins.
  • Gear Sets (Tank, Brawler, Medic, Ranger): Players equip six pieces of gear (Head, Torso, Gloves, Wrists, Legs, Feet). Each piece belongs to a class (Tank, Brawler, Medic, Ranger) providing specific gameplay bonuses (e.g., damage reduction, melee damage, healing effectiveness, ranged damage). Gear has visual variety based on its class, rarity, and faction origin (PK, Survivor, Renegade aesthetic). A transmog system allows players to change equipped gear's appearance to any owned style.
  • Cosmetic Outfits & Skins: Full cosmetic outfits that change Aiden's entire appearance without affecting stats are available through game progression, events, DLC, or store purchases (e.g., Nightrunner outfit, Peacekeeper outfit, various themed bundles).
  • Weapon Charms: Small cosmetic charms that can be attached to melee weapons for personalization.
trending_up Progression & Upgrades
Skills & Progression

Progression is based on survival and resource management. There are no skill trees or leveling systems. Players must find weapons and tools like a blow torch and wire clamp to access new areas and solve environmental puzzles. Upgrades are not a core feature; survival depends on skill and ammo conservation.

Aiden has two main skill trees: Combat (unlocking new melee moves, weapon proficiency, and toughness) and Parkour (unlocking advanced traversal abilities like wall runs, slides, and improved jumps). Skill points are earned by performing combat actions and parkour maneuvers respectively. Inhibitors, found in GRE containers, are used to upgrade Health and Stamina, which also gate access to higher-tier skills. Crafting allows Aiden to create weapon mods, consumables (medkits, boosters), and throwable items using scavenged resources. Blueprints for crafting are found or earned.

public World & Exploration
World & Level Design

The game features sprawling, interconnected levels set within the Castor's Cradle facility and the surrounding environment of Purdan. While not an open world, the levels are large and offer ancillary paths for exploration to find extra resources and lore.

The City of Villedor is significantly larger than Harran from the first game, divided into two main districts: Old Villedor (a more classic European-style area with smaller buildings, easier for early parkour) and the Central Loop (a modern downtown area with skyscrapers, requiring advanced parkour tools like the grappling hook and paraglider). There are also surrounding areas, GRE Quarantines, and Dark Hollows. The map is dense with verticality, encouraging rooftop traversal.

Playable Vehicles
  • None
    The game is focused on on-foot, first-person exploration and combat within the facility. There are no controllable player vehicles.
  • Paraglider: Personal Traversal Gear (Aerial)
    An essential tool unlocked progression, allowing Aiden to glide from high places, cover large distances quickly, and navigate the verticality of the Central Loop. Can be upgraded for better maneuverability and features like a UV light attachment.
  • Grappling Hook: Personal Traversal Gear (Utility)
    A versatile tool used to swing across gaps, pull Aiden towards anchor points, and aid in climbing. It functions more like a physics-based swing rather than a point-and-zip line in some games. Upgradable for range and functionality.
  • Traversal on Foot (Parkour): Player Locomotion
    The primary mode of movement. Dying Light 2 features an advanced and fluid parkour system, allowing Aiden to run, jump, climb, slide, wall-run, and use various environmental elements to navigate The City's rooftops and streets with agility.
Notable Fauna/Mounts
N/A
  • Infected Humans (Various Stages & Types - Virals, Biters, Goons, Demolishers, Volatiles, etc.): Homo sapiens infectus (Harran Virus)
    Primary Antagonistic Force, Ranging from common fodder to elite/boss-level threats.
  • Dogs (Feral/Infected - Howlers): Canis familiaris (Infected)
    Hostile, Howlers alert other infected to Aiden's presence.
  • Rats & Crows: Rodentia / Corvidae
    Ambient wildlife, can sometimes indicate nearby loot or danger, generally non-hostile but can be startled.
  • Deer (Mentioned/Implied in hunting for resources, but not live interactive animals typically): Cervidae
    Primarily a source for crafting resources (leather, bones) through looting or specific contexts rather than live hunting encounters in the city.

help_outline FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q: What is Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition?
    A: It is the non-VR, flat-screen version of the VR action-horror game, Alien: Rogue Incursion. It has been rebuilt for PC and consoles with upgraded visuals.
  • Q: Is it like Alien: Isolation?
    A: No. While both are first-person horror games, Rogue Incursion is much more action-oriented, similar to the tone of the movie 'Aliens'. You fight hordes of Xenomorphs rather than hiding from a single, unkillable one.
  • Q: How long is the game?
    A: It is described as Part One of a two-part story, with a runtime of approximately 8-9 hours for a single playthrough. It ends on a cliffhanger.
  • Q: How does the save system work?
    A: The game uses a punishing, old-school manual save system. You can only save your progress at designated 'Panic Rooms' found in the levels. There are very few autosaves.
  • Q: Is Dying Light 2 a direct sequel to the first Dying Light?
    A: Yes, Dying Light 2 Stay Human is set approximately 20 years after the events of the original Dying Light and its 'The Following' expansion. While it features a new protagonist (Aiden) and setting (The City of Villedor), it exists in the same universe and references past events and characters like Spike.
  • Q: How important are choices in Dying Light 2?
    A: Choices are a significant gameplay mechanic. Aiden's decisions during main quests and some side quests can have major consequences, affecting faction control over city districts (which changes the environment with faction-specific parkour tools or traps), the fate of characters, and the overall narrative outcome. The game features multiple ending variations.
  • Q: What is the Day/Night cycle like?
    A: The Day/Night cycle is a core feature. Daytime is generally safer for exploration and completing objectives, with fewer aggressive infected. Night-time is extremely dangerous, with more powerful infected like Volatiles roaming the streets. However, night offers increased XP gain and access to specific locations (like Dark Hollows and Forsaken Stores) that contain valuable loot but are heavily infested during the day.
  • Q: How does the infection mechanic work for Aiden?
    A: Aiden is infected with the Harran Virus. He wears a biomarker that tracks his immunity levels. When in darkness or away from UV light sources for too long, his immunity drops, and if it reaches zero, he will turn into a Viral. Players must manage this by using UV lamps, UV shrooms, inhibitors, or returning to safe zones before turning.
  • Q: Are there firearms in Dying Light 2?
    A: The base game is heavily focused on melee combat and bows due to a story premise that firearms and ammunition became extremely scarce after The Fall. While some makeshift firearms like the 'Boomstick' (a craftable shotgun) exist, and more traditional firearms were added in later updates (like the 'Firearms Update' in early 2024), melee remains the primary combat style.
build Technical Details
Graphics & Visual Fidelity
N/A

Powered by Techland's C-Engine, the game showcases a detailed and dilapidated urban environment. It features advanced lighting, dense geometry, volumetric fog, and detailed character/infected models. Ray tracing options (Global Illumination, Shadows, Reflections, Ambient Occlusion) are available on PC and current-gen consoles, significantly enhancing visual fidelity but also being very demanding.

Audio & Soundtrack
N/A

Original score composed by Olivier Deriviere, featuring a dynamic system that adapts the music to gameplay intensity and player actions (e.g., during parkour sequences or intense combat). Sound design emphasizes visceral melee impacts, distinct infected vocalizations, and the atmospheric tension of night-time exploration. The Biomarker's ticking sound adds to the infection mechanic's urgency.

User Interface (UI/UX)
N/A

First-person HUD displaying health, stamina, infection timer (biomarker), equipped weapon/tool, and objective markers. A compass aids navigation. Crafting and inventory menus are accessible. Skill trees are visually represented. The day-night cycle and infection status are prominent UI elements.

Accessibility Options
N/A

Offers a range of accessibility options: customizable controls (key remapping on PC), subtitle customization (size, background, speaker names), colorblind modes, options to change QTEs from taps to holds, aim assist, adjustable FOV (PC), motion blur toggle, head bob toggle, and various audio/visual cues.
