Techland has announced the release of the Tower Raid Open Beta for Dying Light 2 with game update 1.17. The Tower Raid introduces a brand new co-op experience to the first-person action/adventure zombie game, inspired by the VNC Tower mission from the campaign.
The objective is simple: reach the top and grab the special loot waiting for you. Each time, you’ll have to traverse different floor combinations with different obstacles and goals. To additionally
spice things up, there are different modifiers for each run. They will affect (positively or negatively) the player, the enemies, or even both.
The Tower Raid can be started via Jai’s Board, which can be unlocked through the side quest “Lost Armory” (available automatically once you reach the Central Loop). When the Tower Raid is started, you (and your friends if you’re playing in co-op, which is highly recommended by Techland) are spawned inside the lobby of the Tower. This Dying Light 2 adventure will take you from the ground floor all the way to the roof, provided that you can defeat all foes. It’s up to you how you deal with various encounters and if you search each floor for loot.
For the activity’s completion, you will be rewarded with Jai’s Reputation Points and Tokens, which can be used to buy new stuff from him (including the Tower Raid chest). Moreover, on top of the Tower, you’ll find an Airdrop that contains a large amount of loot and an Exotic Weapon. Additionally, when you complete the Tower Raid for the first time each week, you’ll get bonus
Reputation Points and Tokens.
The Tower Raid Open Beta will last until July 18. Next week, Techland will introduce a new Elite mode difficulty, which enables harder enemies and activates tactical stamina but provides better rewards. The update will also add three new floors, ten new modifiers, and four new rewards. On the third and last week, the developers will add another seven modifiers, three new rewards, and double Jai’s Reputation Points gains when completing the mode.
To celebrate the Tower Raid Open Beta, Dying Light 2 Reloaded Edition is currently 60% off. As a reminder, the second DLC is still slated to launch later this year.
