A Cyberpunk 2077 Weapon Reference Has Been Discovered In Dying Light 2

Dying Light 2 hit consoles and PC just last week, launching to record numbers for Techland’s zombie parkour franchise. Here it is, one week later. Eurogamer’s Poland-based site, Eurogamer.pl, has discovered a weapon in Dying Light 2 that appears to be a reference to CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. It seems that Dying Light 2’s lead designer has confirmed the discovery. 

“Cyberpunk 2077 in Dying Light 2,” Eurogamer.pl’s tweet reads, as translated by Google’s translation service. “The developers have hidden an unusual weapon in the game. Cyberhands 2177.” 

As you can see in the tweet above, the weapon in Dying Light 2 looks a lot like Cyberpunk 2077’s Mantis Blade weapon, which is less a weapon you hold but one you install directly into your arm. It’s quite metal, literally. 

Now, you might be wondering why Dying Light 2 would reference the critically-maligned Cyberpunk 2077 – sure, both are open-world RPGs based sometime in the future. The real reason this is connected to Techland as well as CD Projekt Red, which are both based in Poland. It’s not hard to imagine that Techland wanted to shout out a fellow Poland-based developer in the form of a reference like this. 

Plus, it’s just plain cool. Who doesn’t want blades for arms? You can find this weapon in Dying Light 2 Eurogamer.plThe scheme can be found at the top of buildings in Villedor. It’s a scheme you pick up, which you can then use to craft into a weapon.
