Techland has transformed the manner in which zombies grab players in Dying Light The Beast game. Per community feedback “Grabbing Biters is now less frustrating and feels more fair.” Other gaming articles have provided more details.

Also, players may notice a Biter is less aggressive during the grab phase when there are players in combat. This most important change helps Dying Light The Beast players and makes the game less difficult during close combat.

Tutorial Blocker: Critical game design issues where other players could give the modded weapon to those who haven’t finished the tutorial could cause progress locks, as the game attempts to apply the mod multiple times. This has now been addressed.
Co-op Door Issue in the The Mine: This particular quest where doors that are meant to be destroyed during the mission could, for one player in a co-op session, remain undestroyed and therefore, block their progress, has now been solved.
Safe Spot Traps: The releasable spawnable bugs wherein players could replay sections with hidden doors and contraptions to ensnare players has now been removed.
Psychiatric hospital safe zones: Adjusted two of the primary problems here. One involved prior saves reloading which could seal the door behind the player with unintended obstruction and the other one dealt with some music which could persist in a loop forever after Reloading certain quests.
