There have been a number of modders who have already dedicated themselves to improving Dying Light 2 with their own contributions. Among a number of other add-ons, there’s one standout patch that creates a hardcore mode for the game. Called “Harmod Redux,” it does a number of things to make the experience more challenging for players. The mod adjusts stamina and noise management, adds more zombies, and makes zombies tougher. With the mod, it’s possible to “die really quickly in encounters.”

The world of Dying Light 2 is rife with zombies, and while the studio has acknowledged that there need to be some fixes when it comes to the ragdoll physics, zombies are part and parcel of the experience. Hardmod Redux creator Zadyk described their add-on as something that makes the game almost like 28 Days Later. It’s important to mention that the mod is currently in alpha state, according to the description page, and that other difficulty modes will be supported later.

There are already a number of updates and tweaks that have been coming to the fore. There are some Dying Light 2 mods that enhance the draw distance and improve the physics, and this latest one represents just one of what could be many new ways fans are tinkering with the game.

As far as open world zombie games goes, 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. With people like Zadyk and others bringing out mods all the time, there’s every chance that the vanilla game will go through some custom changes that could see the game receive higher praise over time.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series platforms, with the Nintendo Switch version in active development.
