How to get Dying Light 2's "Dying Laugh" bundle for free

Dying Light 2's post-launch support might not have been as robust as the previous title, but it seems Techland is finally picking up the pace. With the Bloody Ties story expanding on the horizon, Techland has rolled out a free cosmetics and weapons bundle for all owners of Dying Light 2, called the "Dying Laugh" bundle, with no additional cost attached.

The Dying Laugh bundle for Dying Light 2 includes a themed cosmetic outfit, a new paraglider skin, and a legendary tier weapon. At this time, the new bundle does not require players to get multiple pieces of armor to complete the entire set, which was the case with the previously released packs.

The Dying Laugh bundle is themed after the ongoing "All Hallows Eve" in-game event that started on October 26, 2022, and will last until November 4, 2022. As the name suggests, the event was centered around Halloween.

The event expires on November 4. However, as confirmed by Techland, players can get the Dying Laugh bundle until November 10, giving them ample time to grab the unique armor and weapons set for their zombie hunting ventures in Villadore. Players can claim the Dying Laugh bundle in Dying Light 2 for free.

Claiming the Dying Laugh bundle is relatively straightforward and does not require a separate download if players update the game to the latest version. The following are the steps for each platform on how to claim the free bundle:

Claiming the Dying Laugh bundle on PC (Steam)

Dying Light 2 is possibly one of this year's most underrated open-world experiences. Despite being hyped for a long time by fans of the previous entry in the series, Developer Techland failed to capture the open-world market. This was partly due to the release of their game in a rather crowded month of February, alongside heavy hitters like the PlayStation exclusive Horizon Forbidden West and the highly anticipated FromSoftware title Elden Ring.

One of the key factors behind the massive success of the original Dying Light is the lengthy support period, which is very rare for a game that is primarily a single-player experience. Techland has supported the original Dying Light for over five years, with multiple new in-game activities, cosmetics, weapons, community challenges, and even a story expansion.

The best part was that most of the post-launch content was given to all owners of Dying Light for free, barring a few cosmetic and weapon packs and the DLC expansion. It remains to be seen how Techland handles the post-launch of Dying Light 2, which has not been up to the standards set by the previous title.

While post-launch support has been relatively slow for the sequel, Techland is slowly but surely gearing up for a massive comeback with the game's first major expansion, Bloody Ties, which releases on November 10, 2022.
