Tower Raid: Halloween Run Event
Tower Raid mode returns in a special form for Halloween. The event lasts three weeks from October 30th to November 20th. Available right after the prologue, even for new players joining the game, it offers new rewards, new candies and the comeback of a good old friend, Baka, waiting for you at the Bazaar and offering special bounties to complete. Tower Raid: Halloween Run will feature new content releases each week. In the first week, players can familiarize themselves with a new, special-made progression system and exciting rewards. Starting in the second week, you can increase the difficulty level with the return of elite mode and exclusive bounties, and unlock new daily bounties in the third week.
New levels and Halloween characters
In this separate event-version of Tower Raid, players have to storm 8 floors with unique gameplay twists and finally beat a boss on top. While some floors are completely new, all of them are now decorated to give off a spooky Halloween-vibe. Halloween is all about the costumes, so fans will get to explore a brand new character system! Before each run they’ll need to select a role from four available options, each with their own unique loadouts and traits:
Scarecrow - two-handed scythe and increased HP pool
Plague - increased melee damage and stamina, and the Plague Cane that will utilize those buffs
Van Aiden - crossbow and wreak havoc with increased ranged damage
Cursed Pirate - cutlass-wielder with parkour damage perks
Perks and rewards
In the initial struggles of players during the Tower Raid: Halloween Run, they may find it very challenging to reach the top. However, with the unique perks offered by Baka - roguelite elements that permanently impact each playthrough - fans will grow stronger with each run.
Every mistake can be deadly but if gamers are brave enough there are plenty of rewards waiting for them. Alongside last year’s rewards, Baka will also have a brand new Van Aiden outfit, gear pieces and weaponry as an ultimate reward! Fans can purchase all rewards with candies collected from Tower Raid or rewards for bounties.
Patch 1.19 and a new control scheme
In addition to the Halloween event, Techland is implementing Patch 1.19 for Dying Light 2 Stay Human. This update introduces various fixes and quality of life improvements, along with new weapons and bundles, demonstrating commitment to enhancing the experience for the community.
Among other changes, it’s introducing a new firearm control layout, which can be activated in the control system. Patch 1.19 is just the next step in a series of updates driven by community feedback.
The original Dying Light also features a Halloween event running until November 7th. For those who don’t yet own Dying Light 1 or Dying Light 2 Stay Human, both games are currently on sale: Dying Light 1 is up to 85% off, while Dying Light 2 Stay Human is up to 60% off.
