Techland occasionally gives away DLC bundles during anniversaries or holiday events. Follow their social media or join the official Discord.

The official and recommended way to unlock DLC for Dying Light is by purchasing it through the platforms where you bought the game, such as Steam, Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, or GOG. Here's how you can access and unlock DLC on these platforms:

  • Xbox:

  • PlayStation:

    • The Dying Light modding community has created thousands of custom weapons, skins, and blueprints that are completely free and legal. Try Nexus Mods for:

    Title: Didn’t work – game crashed on launch
    Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

    Tried the DLC unlocker for Dying Light Enhanced Edition. After replacing the files, the game wouldn’t start – just crashed at the logo screen. Verified game files, reinstalled, tried different versions of the unlocker, but no luck. Also got a false positive virus alert from Windows Defender (might be normal for these tools, but still sketchy). Ended up just buying the DLC on sale. Would not recommend unless you enjoy troubleshooting for hours.

    Let’s be honest—Techland has released over 20 paid DLC packs for Dying Light. The complete collection can cost upwards of $100 even on sale. For veteran players returning after years away, buying all the small weapon bundles feels punishing.

    For a single-player or co-op PvE game, many players rationalize the unlocker as harmless.

    Before risking your Steam account or PC security, consider these official (and often cheap) methods.
