Dying Light 2: All Zombie and Human Enemy Types

Dying Light 2 gives players a huge number of weapons, but knowing how the different types of human and zombie enemies fight will give you a big advantage when you find yourself in the middle of a fight you never expected. What are the human and zombie types in Dying Light 2? What are their traits?

What Are the Dying Light 2 Human Enemy Types?

In Dying Light 2, human enemies can belong to different groups. Some of them use melee weapons while occasionally throwing knives at you, while others prefer fighting with a bow. Sometimes you may also run into slower-moving enemies alongside these human enemies who take more damage. Enemies can also carry around big clubs, so you need to be very careful with every move you make. Dying Light 2 gives you the freedom to kill human enemies however you like — for instance, you can use many of Aiden's different tools to take them down. By mastering flawless dodges and blocks, you can catch your enemies off guard more often.

What Are the Dying Light 2 Zombie Types? Zombie Hunting Tactics!

Biter/Viral

• These are regular infected humans. They're easy to fight alone, but dangerous in large groups. They usually accompany bigger zombies. A well-placed Molotov makes it easier to take them down.

Rampage

• These are zombies equipped with an impenetrable shell who use charge attacks to knock you off your feet. You'll need to find ways to temporarily leave them vulnerable.

Demolisher

• These are zombies usually equipped with demolition balls or other weapons that extend their range. You need to look for lines that can damage them and the virus. Since they're bad at climbing, you can find high ground to catch them off guard.

Revenant

• These are found in GRE Anomaly zones. They're slender in build and have sharp limbs growing out of their backs. They can leap long distances and can attack you even from far away. So it's worth moving fast, just so you know!

Howler

• If these creatures detect you, they infect the area you're in with the virus. So you should be as careful as possible to stay hidden.

Bolter

• They're quite fragile, but fast. How about discovering their weak points and heading out to hunt at night?

Volatile

• This is one of the most contagious types around. They're fast and can deal a high amount of damage.
