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.
