14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Techland has released a brand new video detailing how to best use the Night Hunter in Dying Light's Be the Zombie multiplayer mode.
Dying Light is a first-person zombie survival game set in an open world, following a secret agent infiltrating a quarantined zone. The game features a healthy helping of parkour, enabling you to roam through an urban environment afflicted by a mysterious virus that turns ordinary people into mindless killing machines.
You have to scavenge for supplies, rescue survivors, craft new weapons and items to make use of. Dying Light also features a dynamic day and night cycle, and the gameplay paradigm changes significantly.
During the night, your role changes from hunter to hunted, as the infected become much more aggressive and powerful, and even more lethal monsters start prowling the streets, looking for fresh meat.
An interesting gameplay proposition
The Be the Zombie mode is an asymmetrical multiplayer mode that pits a team of four players against another gamer who controls a deadly Night Hunter, an overpowered zombie that has to hunt them down and kill them.
The video features choice gameplay bits and narration from Dying Light lead game designer Maciej Binkowski, explaining some of the advanced techniques that zombie users can employ in 4v1 PvP matches.
The zombie has its own skill tree that enables it to perform various deadly moves when engaging the human survivors team, and the video shows how to make the best out of the tool set.
One of the means by which the Night Hunter can sow chaos amidst the human ranks is by summoning a zombie horde, getting them separated, and then picking them off one by one.
The best defense that humans have against the Night Hunter is their UV flashlight, and you can suppress it before an assault in order to make sure that nothing can deter you from catching up with your prey.
