📋 About This Mod
This is a part of my ongoing work for I Am Legion - Reborn.
If you have I Am Legion - Reborn installed, don't install this mod, it is not compatible with IALR because a better version of it exists in IALR with more content.
You can visit that page to find out more about the modding efforts for Dying Light 2.
The vanilla game is super boring, come check out Casual Survivor on IALR if you don't want a challenge but way more game content.
Seriously I got bored just trying to record this video because the world is empty =(
