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

Dying Light 2 hit consoles and PC just last week, launching to record numbers for Techlands zombie parkour franchise. Now, a week later, Eurogamers Poland-based site, Eurogamer.pl, has discovered a weapon in Dying Light 2 that appears to be a reference to CD Projekt Reds Cyberpunk 2077. A lead designer on Dying Light 2 seems to have confirmed it, too.

Cyberpunk 2077 in Dying Light 2, Eurogamer.pls tweet reads, as translated by Googles 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 2077s Mantis Blade weapon, which is less a weapon you hold butone you install directly into your arm. Its 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. However, the real connection here is that both Techland and CD Projekt Red are based in Poland. Its not hard to imagine that Techland wanted to shout out a fellow Poland-based developer in the form of a reference like this.

Plus, its just plain cool. Who doesnt want blades for arms? As for finding this weapon in Dying Light 2, Eurogamer.pl writes that it can be found on the roof of a building somewhere in the city of Villedor. Its a scheme you pick up, which you can then use to craft into a weapon.
