📋 About This Mod

Installation Instructions:

First download the rar file

Then extract the rar file using Winrar or 7zip

Now copy the data6.pak & paste it inside the source folder ( Dying Light 2\ph\source)

and you are done.

What if i have multiple mods installed ?

Well in that case you can try renaming the mod anything from data3 to data6.pak.

or just simple extract the data6.pak that i have provided and simply put it inside any of the modded pak files.

just make sure the other mods dont use the same player_variables.scr file or else the mod won't work if merged.

In a case like this u would need to manually edit the values inside player_variables.scr

other than that you are good to go.

Let me know if you guys have any issues & yeah have fun playing Dying Light 2.
