I picked up Dying Mild 2’s bash ability fairly early. I would already grabbed the dash ability (sure, sprinting, normally not offered individually in terms of motion heroes, requires a ability unlock), and the bash ability enables you to flip sprinting an act of violence. You may dash after which plow into zombies, sending them flying, even when they’re clustered in a pack. It isn’t deadly or something, it simply clears a path with out having to cease and swing a weapon, which is helpful if you’re attempting to race dwelling earlier than the solar units and the town will get very imply.
However Dying Mild 2 participant Longjumping-Owl-2684 on Reddit cleverly discovered one other use for the bash ability. And never solely is it helpful, it is utterly wise.
You need to use bash to open locked doorways with out having to fiddle with a lockpick and the Skyrim-esque minigame. Simply take just a few steps again, then dash and bash proper into that locked door. Open sesame! I simply tried it out and it really works, although my first try I activated the bash slightly too late and simply wound up smooshed towards the doorframe for a second. My timing was higher on the second strive, and the locked door popped proper open.
It isn’t one thing I am going to most likely use rather a lot—simply discovering a locked door within the metropolis to strive it on took me about 10 minutes, and lockpicking comes into play much more typically with locked crates than locked doorways. Plus, I by no means actually discovered myself working out of lockpicks, and I did not even trouble upgrading my lockpick blueprint to make them extra sturdy. Even the hardest lock requires slightly endurance greater than the rest.
However, and I believe that is necessary: with the ability to bash open a locked door simply is sensible. How typically have we been a robust character in an FPS, armed with explosives and heavy weapons and able to superhuman feats of energy, solely to be stymied by a easy locked door? I am not a slippery jewel thief, I am somebody who drop kicks people off roofs. Do not choose that lock, simply knock that rattling door down! It is a good little bit of design from Techland, and an excellent discovery by Longjumping-Owl-2684.
