Dying Light 2 has some new features such as crafting and repairing --here's how to repair weapons.

Dying Light 2 provides a slue of first-person action-packed zombie-slaying action, and players are given more freedom than ever in the game's new open-world map, Viledor. In addition, the game has overhauled its combat and freerunning system to give players a more immersive and responsive gameplay experience.

Another system Dying Light 2 updates is the weapons system; players have a smorgasbord of weapon options from ranged, firearms, and melee choices. Layered in line with this system is the durability of weapons, which have become a much larger piece of the game. Weapons decay over time and now have the option to be repaired at a cost. This guide will go over how players can repair weapons in Dying Light 2.

While weapon repairing is an option in Dying Light 2, players will have to chisel a few hardcore hours in the survival horror game before their given access to this feature. Players who have just started the game won't accomplish the requirements to unlock this feature for a while. Instead, players should maintain a steady weapon cycle of crafting and scavenging as there is no way to prevent a weapon's durability from depleting (selling to a vendor will be the most rewarding for new players with old broken weapons).

At the rate at which Weapons degrade in Dying Light 2, players should always be ahead of the curve as not to get caught having their bare hands while fighting zombie enemies or human survivors. Players are bound to find valuable brain splattering weapons exploring the dangerous Viletor.

There is only one sure-fire way to repair weapons after their durability has been depleted, and that is by installing weapon mods. Each weapon will have an array of weapon mod slots that allows the player to modify the chosen weapon. By placing a mod into one of these slots, the player can repair a small amount of lost durability (50 points per mod). Most weapons can hold a maximum of three mods, allowing 150 points of durability to be returned to the weapons.

To obtain the Reinforcement mod, players will have to complete the "Markers of the Plague" quest line to enter the Bazaar once they unlock the ability to explore the city freely. Once inside the Bazaar, find the Craftmaster inside the workshop; the Craftmaster will allow players to upgrade their gear and purchase mods as long as they have the necessary materials to offer. The materials required by Craftmasters to purchase and upgrade gear are simple, but the amount needed to upgrade mods and weapons increases with every step up the latter.

Players are unlikely to have enough to fully max their gear out early in the game, so it's equally vital that they take full advantage of exploring Viletor regularly to scavenge and obtain resources. This is also a good time to get the hang of the game's Freerunning mode of transportation. All weapons can break, and repairing them by installing mods does not prevent this. Weapon durability is built into Dying Light 2's core game mechanics to keep the player adjusting their play style and builds, so no weapon is going to last forever.

While there is a blueprint mod that aids the player in preserving their weapons, it is only to slow the process down, not prevent it. The weapon mod “Reinforcement” slows down the wear and tear on the installed weapon a considerable amount. Still, players shouldn't get attached to their old reliable as it's only a matter of time before the durability hits zero.

To install weapon mods on a weapon, players will have to open their inventories and choose the weapon they want to modify. After opening the weapon mod menu with the corresponding command, the player will have the option to install as many mods as the weapon can hold. To Obtain weapon mods, players will have to purchase them from Craftmasters scattered throughout the city in survivor villages.

Mods can also be upgraded several times to achieve higher percentage buffs for their associated effects. For example, the Reinforcement mod starts off with a -10 to durability per swing; when upgraded to its maximum level, the mod provides a -100 to durability per swing, which essentially halves the rate at which the weapon loses durability.

Upgrading mods and weapons is a costly venture that will drain the player's materials if not judged appropriately. It's also important to note that once installed, they can not be replaced, removed, or reused in Dying Light 2, so players should be completely sure about what weapons they choose to upgrade that pair well with the combat skills they have chosen.

Players should also keep in mind that installing mods to a weapon does not increase its longevity or increase the durability total of a new weapon past its cap. A way around this is to use a weapon without mods first, wear out the durability, and repair it via installing mods after the weapon has already been broken.

Also, as levels in the game occurs fairly quickly, players should put off keeping lower-level weapons around until later in the game and constantly switch out or replace damaged gear. To make scavenging easier, players can take part in Co-op activities; Dying Light 2's player pool has doubled the originals and is seeing tremendous success on Steam.

Dying Light 2 is available on PC, Playstation 4 & 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
