Dying Light: The Beast has just launched a new update to round out the month of October. Patch 1.3 is still part of developer Techland’s continued improvement of the game. It highlights its commitment even after receiving solid reviews upon release. Specifically, the latest version adds the much-awaited PUBG Mobile partnership. At the same time, it brings new gameplay features, community challenges, and performance enhancements.
Dying Light: The Beast and PUBG Mobile Collaboration
According to Techland, a key part of the new update is the crossover event with PUBG Mobile. Players can activate it through the Dying Light Outpost. In particular, this grants the Airdrop Finder car skin and unlocks the skillset quest. However, it is only doable after completing the Power Gambit mission.
This time-limited quest offers PUBG-themed rewards. Some of the bonuses include the Killing Pan and Battle Royale Bat. Likewise, players can find the Marked Man outfit and gear items. Doing so boosts damage output. They will also be able to use the Battleground Keychain charm. It increases the chance of destroying enemy limbs.
Notable Additions in Patch 1.3
Based on the official announcement, this patch introduces changes to human enemies’ behavior. In detail, melee-weapon enemies will know now when players are aiming at them. So, they can decide to give up or die fighting. The system completely depends on player actions.
On the other hand, the update also adds nine new weapon executions. These will take effect across various melee weapons. Specifically, the fresh finishers deliver more cinematic flair to combat.
Here is a clearer look:
- One for knives
- One for knuckledusters
- One for two-handed bladed weapons
- One for two-handed blunt weapons
- Two for long-bladed weapons
- Two for long blunt weapons
Similarly, version 1.3 brings week 3 of the Call of the Beast community challenge. It tasks players with landing accurate shots to unlock rewards. Successful participants this week have the chance to claim the Marksman Car Skin and the Bullseye rifle.
Fixes and Improvements
The latest update strengthens the gameplay experience. It addresses many issues, including quest progression blocks, glitches, and inconsistencies. Players can look forward to performance improvements, visual fixes, balance adjustments, and audio and UI enhancements.
Availability
Dying Light: The Beast Patch 1.3 is now live for all players across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. More specifically, the Call of the Beast Week 3 began on October 30 and will run until November 6 at 4 PM. Meanwhile, the Beast and PUBG Mobile crossover event drops on October 31 and ends on November 21.
What’s Next
The latest update is already a big win for players. However, Techland is not stopping anytime soon. Earlier this October, the developer said that it would complete an 11-week roadmap before January 7, 2026. The upcoming DLCs add features like a New Game+, Legend Levels, Nightmare Difficulty, and more.
