Dying Light The Beast has truly hit a sweet spot with fans. It brilliantly merges the gritty survival action and beloved protagonist, Kyle Crane, from the first game with the best elements of Dying Light 2, all while introducing exciting new innovations. The result? One of the most compelling zombie games released in recent years. Moving through the world with its exceptional parkour mechanics is almost as satisfying as tearing through the undead hordes… almost. Techland recently unveiled a fascinating set of player statistics since the game’s launch, and with a staggering 2.2 billion zombies already dispatched, it’s clear players have been busy.
Considering the vast array of brutal weapons available for bashing, butchering, and blasting the undead, such a high body count isn’t surprising. Techland’s new infographic proudly declares that a grand total of 2,289,451,369 zombies have been eliminated by players in Dying Light The Beast. Countries like the US, China, and Germany lead the charge, claiming the top spots in this global zombie-slaying competition.
Players haven’t just been fighting on foot; they’ve collectively mowed down 334 million zombies while driving, covering an incredible 19.6 million kilometers across Castor Woods. It seems the decision to include vehicles was a massive hit! The community also demonstrates impressive precision, achieving 59.5 million headshots, proving that accuracy isn’t lost even amidst the chaos of melee weapons and Kyle’s powerful Beast Mode.
Without a doubt, the most delightfully absurd — and endlessly enjoyable — statistic is that players have drop-kicked 176 million zombies. There’s just something incredibly satisfying about watching an undead foe get sent flying through the air with a well-aimed two-footed kick. Beyond the aerial acrobatics, 112 million brutal finisher moves have also been executed.
While I’d love to see more detailed breakdowns of player weapon preferences, Techland did confirm one fan-favorite: the Reinforced Camp Axe reigns supreme as the most popular weapon in the game.
This new infographic vividly illustrates not only the sheer chaos and excitement of Dying Light The Beast but also how richly developed the series’ survival sandbox has become. With analysts estimating over 1.5 million copies sold, these astonishing player activity figures are hardly a shock.
