Dying Light: The Beast Update 1.002.005

Techland has released a new Dying Light: The Beast patch today, October 16, and this starts a new wave of challenges and content for the zombie action game.

Console gamers will see this download appear as Dying Light: The Beast update 1.002.005, which starts the first week of challenges in an 11-week plan outlined today via the game’s new roadmap.

Called “A Season to Dismember,” the community can work together to earn exclusive rewards.

Dying Light: The Beast New Seasonal Content Kick Off via Patch 1.2.5/1.002.005

This is the first community challange of Call of the Beast. and here’s what you need to know:

Community Challenge: A Season to Dismember

Call of the Beast Week 1 runs from Thursday, October 16 at 4PM CEST/10 AM ET/1 PM PT until Thursday, October 23 at 4PM CEST/10 PM ET/1 AM PT.

  • Goal #1: Cut off 30,000,000 limbs
  • Reward: Lumberjack Car Skin
  • Goal #2: Cut off 60,000,000 limbs
  • Reward: Woodchopper Axe

Players can check how close they are to victory and the rewards via the Dying Light Outpost, which tracks progression in real-time (it seems). Once the goal is reached, players will find their prizes waiting for them in the in-game stash –provided you contributed to the progression, of course.

Unfortunately, Techland has not shared if any gameplay fixes or adjustments have been made. While Techland has released a fix-filled patch last week, there are still a handful of bugs present, such as:

  • Compass issue (reversed)
  • Softlock glitch
  • Some stability issues for PS5 that makes the console sound like it’s wheezing from running the game

If Techland releases a proper changelog, we’ll update the article to reflect it. For those that notice bugs that still persists, leave a comment down below.
