Imagine this: you’re sprinting across the rooftops of Villedor, the wind whipping through your hair, the adrenaline pumping as you escape a horde of infected. You’ve finally reached a safe zone, but it’s miles away from your next objective. You could retrace your steps, battling your way through dangers once more, or… you could fast travel.
In Dying Light 2, mastering fast travel is key to conquering the vast cityscape and progressing through the gripping storyline. Think of it like discovering the hidden pathways through a bustling marketplace, like the Khan Al-Khalili in Cairo, Egypt. Once you know the shortcuts, everything becomes faster and more efficient.
Unlocking the Secrets of Fast Travel
Before you can teleport across the city with ease, there are a few things you’ll need to do:
1. Progress through the Main Story: Similar to how you need a visa to enter certain countries, fast travel in Dying Light 2 unlocks naturally as you progress through the main story missions. Keep pushing forward and you’ll soon gain access to this invaluable tool.
2. Seek Out Metro Stations: Think of Metro Stations as the “fast travel points” of Villedor. These abandoned stations, much like the forgotten subway tunnels beneath New York City, hold the key to unlocking fast travel.
3. Power Up and Assign: To activate a Metro Station, you’ll need to restore power to it. This usually involves a quick puzzle or a short quest, adding an element of exploration and challenge. Once powered up, you’ll need to assign the station to either the Survivors or the Peacekeepers, similar to choosing your travel itinerary based on your preferred attractions and activities. Your choice will impact the surrounding area and open up different opportunities, just like choosing a travel destination can shape your overall experience.
How to Fast Travel in Dying Light 2: A Step-by-Step Guide
Once you’ve unlocked and activated a Metro Station, fast travel becomes a breeze:
- Open your map and locate any unlocked Metro Station.
- Select the station and choose “Fast Travel.”
- Voila! You’ll be instantly transported to your desired location.
Pro Tip: Fast Travel is an excellent way to avoid unnecessary backtracking, conserve resources, and optimize your gameplay experience, especially when exploring vast and dangerous areas like the Central Loop, which can feel as daunting as navigating the labyrinthine streets of Marrakesh’s Medina.
Taking Your Fast Travel Skills to the Next Level
Unlock All Metro Stations: “The more, the merrier” certainly applies to fast travel points. Unlocking all Metro Stations is like having a comprehensive travel guide, providing maximum flexibility and efficiency in your urban exploration.
Utilize the Survivor Windmill Network: Similar to local transportation systems, these windmills, once powered up, offer a quick and convenient way to traverse shorter distances.
Upgrade Your Paraglider: For those who prefer the scenic route, upgrading your paraglider allows for longer and faster gliding, making reaching distant locations a thrilling experience. It’s akin to choosing a hot air balloon ride over a bus tour – more exhilarating and offering breathtaking views of the landscape.
