Summary
Dying Light 2is a brilliant sequel that expands on everything in the prequel and adds a bunch of new mechanics to keep things fresh and engaging. While the game does suffer from a rather tepid campaign, forgettable characters, and an overly long runtime, these are just minor gripes in what is otherwise a solid experience.
PC players who get their hands onDying Light 2can make things even more engaging by downloading a host of mods to enhance their experience. It’s genuinely surprising to see just how many mods have come out in the short time that this game has been out, with an impressive amount of mods doing wonders to improve the gameplay. The best of the lot is mentioned below.
Updated on July 31, 2025 by Ritwik Mitra:Dying Light 2 is a game that everyone wanted, even if some aspects of this title aren’t up to snuff. The choices that players make in the game are pretty intense, so it’s a shame that the narrative and characters don’t feature a level of writing strong enough to keep players interested. Thankfully, the fun gameplay and traversal more than make up for this fault, and players will love whipping out a number of powerful weapons to take out zombies in combat. Players who want to make the gameplay of Dying Light 2 as engaging as possible will find several mods on PC to tweak the gameplay as per their own preferences, including the latest mods added to this list.
16Unlock All Exotic Weapons
Downloads: 38,684
The best weapons inDying Light 2are ones of the Exotic variety. Not only do these armaments look unique, but they also dish out a wealth of unique damage types that will make it genuinely exciting to take out zombies. However, exotic weapons can be a pain to find in the game, and the ones that players do find may not be the perfect ones that they’re seeking out for hours on end.
With this mod, players can unlock a ton of exotic weapons, enhancing the rate at which they can be found in the game. While it does enhance the enjoyment players can have with the gameplay, it also breaks the balance completely, making it important for players to download this mod only if they’ve progressed through the game once and slowly unlocked the abilities they need to become a master of combat inDying Light 2.
15Purchasable PK Crossbow And Bolts

Based on the player’s alignment, they may lose access to one of the best weapons inDying Light 2. While the Survivors may have the moral high ground, players hate that this loyalty comes at the cost of them missing out on a crossbow that is powerful and satisfying to use.
With this mod, players don’t have to worry about losing access to the PK Crossbow based on their alignment choice. Both this weapon and its bolts can be found at vendors all over the game world, making it infinitely satisfying for players to whip out this OP weapon and stop most zombies from a distance without breaking a sweat.
14Realistic Parkour Mod Pack

The parkour is one of the best elements inDying Light 2. The expansions made to this system from the previous game were welcomed by players who loved how seamless it was to explore Villedor and its various engrossing locations. However, while the parkour system in the game is engaging, there are some players who find the system to be a bit too unrealistic for their own liking.
Playes who want to make the parkour more believable can download this mod pack that tweaks almost every aspect of Aiden’s movement. While realism may not translate to fun, there’s something to be said about more immersive movement mechanics that makes this mod an easy recommendation for fans ofDying Light 2.
13More Zombies
Downloads: 20,151
Dying Light 2’s vast horde of zombies can be pretty intimidating to behold. However, there are times when these zombies might not seem as numerous as players would’ve hoped.
This is where the More Zombies mod proves to be a huge help. True to its name, it populates the world ofDying Light 2with more zombies to make the game feel more threatening and impressive at the same time.
12Grappling Hook Buff

The grappling hook is one of the best tools that players can use to roam the open world ofDying Light 2. It lets players move from one rooftop to the other with ease, letting them avoid most zombies without too many issues.
If some people find the usability of the grappling hook to be a bit limited, then this mod is perfect for them. It increases the range of the grappling hook, gives a massive boost to Aiden’s leap when jumping off, and negates any fall damage as well!
11Use Aiden’s Volatile Skill
Downloads: 14,279
The Volatiles are some of the most threatening enemies in the entire game. So, it’s pretty exciting for players that a mod turns them into a Volatile too!
Turning into this powerful zombie and laying waste to any enemies in Aiden’s path makes for a great time. The fact that enemies can be killed in one hit while the player also gets a unique slam attack is a great cherry on top of this fun mod!
10Unlimited Arrow And Bolt
Downloads: 12,954
From a realistic point of view, it does make sense that arrows and bolts are in limited supplyin the world ofDying Light 2. However, having to either find or craft arrows and bolts for their ranged weapons can become pretty boring in the game.
This is where the Unlimited Arrow and Bolt mod comes into the picture. The function of this mod is pretty obvious, doing a great job of making ranged combat more viable and less resource-intensive in the game.
9Unlimited Weapon Durability
Downloads: 63,136
Dying Light 2has a ton of weapons that players can find over the course of their playthrough. Most of these weapons are absolutely brilliant to use in battle, although the wear-and-tear does end up getting to these armaments over time.
With this mod, players can now use their favorite weapons all they want without worrying about their durability. It might render one of the gameplay systems moot, but players can’t deny that the fun factor is increased at the cost of a reduced challenge.
8I Am Legion - Reborn
Downloads: 100,304
WhileDying Light 2is a pretty great game, the challenge certainly wanes after a point. So, players who want a harder and more engaging time should look to the I am Legion - Reborn mod for the game.
Based on a similarly titled mod forthe firstDying Lightgame, I am Legion is everything that players want from a hardcoreDying Lightexperience. Enemies (both zombies and humans) are smarter, hit harder, and are more difficult to avoid. This, coupled with a bunch of other changes to improve immersion, makes this mod one of the very best in the entire game.
7Physics Are Back
Downloads: 41,007
The I am Legion mod also tweaks the physics engine of the gamefor spectacular results. Most players actually just want these changes but might feel forced into incorporating the entire mod to enjoy wackier and more enjoyable physics.
However, this isn’t the case, since this modder has also released the tweaked physics system as a separate mod. It’s a great way to make the act of landing hits all the more enjoyable inDying Light 2.
