Hey RG, there’s something you need to know about the Mistress Sword. When the first batch of the community update #3 came along which introduced a craftmaster’s ability to fix weapons, the Mistress Sword has limited durability of 40 hits before it needs repairing but it’s VERY cheap to fix, at this time i decided to swing it out on some infected which revealed the fact it can reduce enemy stamina (which it already does that to begin with) and in turn provides the opportunity to execute enemies with it. But now it seems that possibly the latest update made it unbreakable again like it was before and you still can execute enemies with it, not to mention the new update made it so it’s easier to reduce enemy stamina for execution. In other words the Mistress Sword has turned into one of the most insane weapons you’ll probably ever gonna use. I was on hard mode btw. PRO TIP: Keep your uv flashlight handy. It’s useful even in broad daylight, allowing you to execute biters one by one and potentially virals, just watch out for viral spitters, they HURT and these particular variants are immune to uv lights. PRO TIP #2: Fighting renegades with the Mistress Sword is doable it’s a heck lot easier if you first deal with any nearby Brutes (the big guys) and Spearmen, you can then pace yourself fighting the others afterwards. Anyways sorry for the long comment but i felt you needed to know this tidbit about the Mistress Sword. Hope this helps.🙂
@@RespawnedGent Another hint i wanna give is about the Rotate Jump skill from the parkour skill tree. The general idea for it is help you reach ledges and platforms below you as you drop down. However what it doesn’t tell you is it also gives you an extra lift, acting as a quirky double jump, allowing you to reach ledges a normal jump could not, additionally it gives you the needed height for air kicks and ground pounds, so it’s useful in a fiht as well.
Maxed out exploding knives are op. Can clear out a room with 2. The timer should be a bit shorter although i understand why it's there. Those things are strong enough to kill you if you're too close
Nocturnal weapons are easy to get just go keep killing volatiles and the weapons will drop one by one when kill them over and over which anyone can do standing in a uv area like under the fish eyes a good spot with multiple uv light areas... Or where metros are you can run in and back out hitting them then going in and back out. The nocturnal slicing weapons are the BEST... Especially against volatiles. Some give forty to seventy five percent extra damage on top of what you top the weapon up to. Theres nocturnal weapons for all different beast. Ones for revenants. Ones for banshees. Ones for the huge ones sorry cant think oh yeah maybe calles demolishers. Nocturnal weapons to me are number one to get right now amongst guns are a must now lol.
The Nocturnal Weapons Look great but they’re a very big risk to use, I believe they should add the Zombie mode where you go full ape shit, like in the campaign where aiden just turns into a viral, cuz there’s absolutely no way or reason to use those weapons cuz you’ll hit like 3 zombies and then you’ll have to switch before dying? Which is completely stupid, those weapons aren’t worth it, now the pole arms on the other hand? They are definitely worth it I love the range on those weapons.
If you can avoid getting hit then they are fantastic. I took down a demolisher really fast with one. However, like you said I have actually died more times when using them than they have been useful. I haven't gotten a good volatile or viral roll, but I do agree that the polearms are absolutely fantastic
@@RespawnedGentnah nocturnal weapons can come with drain immunity on weapon hit instead of when taking damage The former making the weapon pretty awful to use I got one with it and it was way more of a nuisance than the extra damage it dealt.
@@Digger-Nick Overkill in nightmare mod with 300 level legend to grind? Don't think so. Unfinished? Have you played the game recently? ANd there is coop as well.
I just wanted to ask something, is there any weapon blueprint which will be unlocked during playing any missions? Or I can claim all the blueprints whenever I want to? Actually I'm playing the 1st Mission which is "The Only Way Out". Please reply I'm so confused, because I don't want to loose any blueprints, I want to collect them all (37 Blueprints + New Blueprints)
I bought the Ishmael Polearm off the Armory store because it said it came with the blueprint. I have gone through my inventory and my stash (after accepting the polearm from my stash) and there is no blueprint to be found. Is anyone else able to confirm this issue. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? EDIT** Maybe it was just a timing thing, I went back into the game to look for it again and there it was in my stash (the blueprint I mean)! So, I apologize for my false alarm, it appears it was just a slowness in it showing up.
@@RespawnedGent The polearm itself did take a bit to show up... I tried sleeping twice then ran away from the Bazaar and back (like a reset vendor run). After that fun run it was there
I've opened about 1k pilgrim chests and havent got a single polearm. Pretty sure the weapon pool stayed the same, Idk where you got info that polearms can be found in pilgrim chests
I haven't found it there either so that is why I said it possibly could be found. It would make sense but there are only 7 and one of those can be bought from shen, another is in a bundle, and another is dropped by renegades while also being a blueprint. That leaves 4 out of all the other weapons so the chance is extremely low.
@@blackbullet06 Even if they turned our slam attack into a frost AoE, I'd be okay with that. Just something because an artifact charm with no effect is a bit of a letdown
Hey, ive been looking all over and ive havent been able to find anything definitive, could you tell me what the best loadput is? And by loadout I mean you weapons, gear, and consumables. Sorry im kinda new
So there is no "best weapon" as most of them end up with the same damage although the newer weapons are getting stronger. You mostly want to go with whatever weapon type you like the most and use the highest rarity you can for it. For the mods to put on your weapons, fling and empowerment are must haves with the other mod being whatever you want except another fling as that does not stack. Consumables for me are mostly just Regen and toughness boosters with a military medkit just in case. For gear the best for damage protection is high level brawler gear and high level tank gear. Dying light 2 is not like most other games that have similar RPG mechanics. It is more about playing how you want with whatever you want.
@@RespawnedGent Huh, thanks, im honestly surprised this game doesn't have definite best weapons, not alot of RPG's give that type of freedom. Also thanks for the help.
RG can you make a video discussing how techland made glitch weps useless now that they can not be repaired and will break. I know that people who clone/duplicate weps do not mean much, but for others (like me) who do not use mods or anything like cloning, this sucks. I had the game day one as well as the dlc day 1. Also, a new way to get glitch weps is needlessly complicated versus the original method.
Actually already in the works on a video discussing them. I understand why a lot of people are upset by it and I also understand why it was done. I will be addressing a lot of different points.
@RespawnedGent Always ahead of the curve and ty. No matter what side people are on the issue, I feel it's important to discuss. It's awesome to know someone like you will have your take. I'm looking forward to when you release that video.
i can't look down when i use the pole arms i'm starting to hate this annoying weapons. they have big boi damage but it prevents me from using it i can't see those naughty virals
Ya it is crazy how much damage you can do now. The hope is that maybe we will get to the levels of the fist game with weapons that do over 2000 damage.
Not sure if you made a vid or comment on this for DL Store but I own the game on 2 different platforms I took advantage of the Christmas sale and bought all skins on pc and went to my xbox to only claim free hakon skin But it said I already owned it and all other skins I bought on pc I now have on xbox So skins I bought transfer across platforms
The nocturnal weapons aren't worth it: I have a machete with 714 damage, 20% to infected & at night (plus 18% humans and 9% full health), which does more damage/the same damage to enemies than my nocturnal weapon with 700 damage, without the drawbacks, and with good bonues for day time use. The nocturnal weapons look really cool, but they are too hard/expensive to get and don't do near enough damage to be worth it, especially when a regular weapon can do the same or better.
One I have give me like 78% bonus damage to goons and demolishers. I can take them down in less than 10 hits. Which for a regular weapon in the game, is really good. But the drawbacks are immunity dropping if you get surrounded by volatiles and spitters and viral. Even if you have extra damage against those enemies you will get hit too many times. It is good if you can avoid damage since even if your health doesn't go down, your immunity will.
@@RespawnedGent they should allow lightning upgrade to it as well make it like thor's hammer haha that would be sick, to be honest it shows that its upgradable so maybe there's an Easter egg to allow it to be upgraded or they might add it in later they have done that in dying light 1 before so who knows.
I’ve got a modded weapons that looks like a hammer on the thumbnail but ingame its nunchucks. Super fast weapon swing but the glitch out and flip around your screen when holding them
I hope more blueprints of the pole arms are found and that you do a full tutorial guide on it but thank you Respawned gentlemen.😊👍

For some reason I don’t see the nocturnal weapons in harpers inventory
I just started playing dying light 2 again after years off because of being let down by glitches and bugs. Enjoying the game much better now.
Same I restarted two week ago
I think the pole arms are the most fun melee weapon in almost any game
I agree. They are so fun to use
What makes them fun? They just swing like an axe. Was expecting to weapon animation to poke zombies rather than swing
does the gingerbread infected charm do anything? the warlord’s shield charm is great!
I don't think it does anything unfortunately
Badfling it doesnt and thats the global goal
Honestly I hope they fix the ginger bread charm to be something beneficial. Like frost damage increase, or more damage to frozen enemies. Something!

There's 2 blueprints of 1 Halberd and 1 polearm you missed. Also, a handgun bp you missed 2.

It is all RNG so there is no way to know which one you will get

Yes, they both do
I hope so, really love the polearms

Yep, and if I dismantle more than 5 at a time, my game freezes, and i lose the last hour of game progress.
Thx.

check out the pilgrim outpost theres a 2 handed mace

Can you make a video about farming infecteds.
I need to make an updated farming video since most of mine are from before the night change
So I found out if you stun a midget zombie viral then do a finisher on him it instantly makes him grow and it's kinda funny as hell
Does the blueprints stay or will it be removed after the Winter Tales?
Blueprints stay as long as you collected them
They will most likely stay, cuz I mean why would you only bring a new weapon type for a limited time?
@@Beyondzzzzoh yeah they will most likely stay since all the previous weapon blueprints have
Thx dudes.
is it possible to get exotic polearms from chest ?
I think so but I have yet to see it
do you know how to get the Christmas tree started?
Yes I actually have a video specifically for the Christmas tree that I released before this one
The explosive knives are so fucking fun to use
polearm is two handed weapon?
yes
The Santa polearm is fucking op
I haven't tried it yet but all the polearms so far are insane
where do i get shuriken charm???
I don't know of a Shuriken charm honestly. If you are referring to the thumbnail then that is just an image of the weapon in the game
Is there gonna be a tutorial to find the new weapon blueprints
If I am able to find them then I will have a video
