Surprisingly though, the final nail in the coffin wasn’t the junction box fiasco, but instead, a third bug that came up much later in the game while I was on a nighttime side mission in Old Villedor. Long story short, a visual glitch that causes the metal covers to either appear or not appear, even after they’ve been torn off, combined with a second bug that allows Aiden’s hand to pass through the covers regardless of their state and switch the power on (and for some reason, off as well) turns the challenge into a nightmare.Ĭase in point, I must have spent over 30 minutes failing the Spectacle event in question because I was constantly getting trapped in endless loops of inadvertently switching off junction boxes that should have remained on, tearing off covers that I’d already opened, or failing to activate a trap despite the switch being flipped because an invisible cover on the junction box had yet to be removed. The intended interaction is that players must tear off the metal covers of the junction boxes via a QTE ( tapping X in the case of Xbox) to expose the power switch, press X once again to flip it on, and press X once more from a short distance to arm the trap and fry the zombies. Two of the worst reared their ugly heads most noticeably during the first “Spectacle” match, which is themed after the original Dying Light’s setting of Harran and tasks the player with finding, providing power to and finally flipping the switch on several junction boxes in order activate car traps, all while being relentlessly pursued by powerful, fast-moving infected. Regrettably, in the end, none of it really matters because a number of missions in the Dying Light 2 Stay Human – Bloody Ties DLC are either broken or near broken thanks to a handful of truly egregious bugs. “A number of missions in the Dying Light 2 Stay Human – Bloody Ties DLC are either broken or near broken thanks to a handful of truly egregious bugs.” Anyway, it’s still a big disappointment when one recalls that The Following DLC for the original Dying Light went as far as to build on top of the game’s existing systems to add vehicles as well as an additional Legendary Skills tier, and all items found in that expansion could be freely used in the base game and vice-versa wherever appropriate.
