What's the proper name for the armored Volatile variants?

derk last edited by

A new variant of the deadly Volatile was added in The Following DLC of Dying Light. These new variants have some kind of hardened shell or perhaps are wearing body armor when they died and reanimated. Whatever they are, they're deadlier than their base-game counterparts.

I've seen few people talk about them on forums but I've never seen them get assigned a name. What do you call these monstrosities?

I was also lucky enough to snap a photo of a strong and regular Volatile variant standing side-by-side

The https://dyinglight.fandom.com/wiki/Volatile#Evolved_Volatile calls these Evolved Volatiles:

Evolved Volatiles are an evolution of the uncommon Volatile introduced with the release Dying Light: The Following.

After going through the list of side quests found on game pressure I believe I have found the sidequest. I believe this to be the Prodigal Son sidequest as it becomes available to you when completing 'The Pact With Rais', as well as the fact that Alexai (the one you need to speak to to trigger the quest) is found on an antenna tower and from this video the location seems to be quite near to your screenshot. He is located at antenna 6a on the map. (apparantly) Side note: I do not play the game so this answer is based on what I could find out online.

Since it doesn't look like anyone is jumping on this, I've decided to give it a go myself. Wands This chart doesn't show every possible way to identify, but I've tried to at least cover all wands. I don't believe there's a way to distinguish between exhausted, cancelled and nothing wands, short of a scroll/spell of ID, but I may be wrong on that. View diagram in its full glory Potions It's highly inadvisable to quaff unidentified potions if they haven't been checked with a unicorn horn first (where I noted you may want to stop). They could be hallucination, confusion, blindness, sleep or paralysis, and that's a lot of ways to be incapacitated. If some or all of these are already identified, or you have a safe place to wait it out, the risk is mitigated. It's also worth noting that I didn't list all potions that can be identified by tossing at a monster. For example, potion of sickness gives a message, but is easily identified by dipping. Rings Rings are fairly difficult to identify indirectly. Aside from the ones that increase an attribute, relatively few are automatically identified by wearing. However, if you're willing to sacrifice the ring (or if you have duplicates), sink identification is a surefire method.

Maybe it could be if you own the following but have gone back to the main game it could be telling you about the points in your buggy skill tree? This happened to me but by going and spending the points in the following it fixed it for me.

There are no real "tiers" of equipment. Instead there are rough groups of armor that match visually. If all of your items are from that given group, they will match. However, this does not determine their stats. From Blizzard Community Manager Bashiok: We separate out 'item tiers' for their visual appearance first and foremost. We have a number of "armor sets" (18?) in the game that match visually, and so we call them 'tiers' because there's no real better way to say it. When all of your items are from that 'tier', you'll match. That doesn't directly determine their stats, though. They're spread out in a logical progression, and items get more awesome looking as you go further in the game. Ipso facto the higher the visual tier the better chance it's a more powerful item, but it doesn't preclude the possibility of it being worse. You can absolutely find an item from a visual tier back in Hell difficulty that's better than an item using a later visual tier in Inferno. It's best to just expunge the term 'tier' from your minds, because it really has nothing to do with any kind of stair step or item upgrade approach. It's just models and textures.

It's level 1 of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_(video_game) , a PS1 game starring Bruce Willis (!?!) Here is a clip of someone playing through that same scene: [Edit] This is the game shown from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7SUNPGggdo&t=33s . But it looks like there's a second game shown, starting at https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=74&v=y7SUNPGggdo - see the other answer for that one.

No the uv light just make the nights stop for a while so you can keep running and build distance. However so longer you aim them with the uv light, the longer they'll stay away from you. After the uv light effect stopped, they'll start to chase you again. I've to say that there're two kind of "nights". First you got the Volatiles who you find in single player. Second are the Night Hunter who are multiplayer. Both of them got the uv light weakness but can't be killed with it.

Contrary to some of the comments on this, it appears to be the mobile Android version of PUBG. Despite the Snapdragon 820 and 4GB of RAM, you need to consider that you have an old phone at this point (in terms of how far technology has come since the Lenovo Zuk Z2+ released in 2016). It's entirely possible that you are expecting too much out of your phone. The Adreno 530 in that phone is a chip designed with 2015 tech in mind, and although 5 years doesn't seem like a lot of time, it is in terms of phone power. PUBG is a big, intense game, with a lot of assets to load, and a lot of player connections (~100) to handle. It's very possible that what you're experiencing is just how it is for your model phone. Something newer might be a better answer, and I doubt there's a technical fix that will drastically improve your gameplay experience.

Physical resistance has virtually no effect on PvE enemies because only 1 enemy deals pure physical damage, slugs. For Lothric Knights, you want Slash and Thrust resistance. However, all PvP damage counts as physical, so physical resistance is important in PvP. It's worth noting that it's better to have something in each armor slot than nothing, even it's cloth rags. Even a cloth rag helm gives around a 10% bonus to base armor. Nothing to sneeze at. Having something in all 4 slots gives a 50% flat bonus to base armor, regardless of their individual stats.

The outfit you speak of is called the Team Dying Light outfit. To get it you need to get the secret nuclear ending which requires: The Nuclear Codes underwater in a military container The Military Keycard inside a warehouse with Behemoth, in a red container The Military Access Card underwater under a soldiers body The Nuclear Bomb inside a white truck trailer. To enter, swipe the keycard, then gain access to the computer and trigger the bomb by using the keyboard. (Source) The Wiki says the same thing for this outfit.

Item rarity will only affect the stats of your weapons. This means handling, durabilty and damage will be increased compared to a weapon of lower quality. Keep in mind that every weapon also has a hidden level. This is why an orange quality item from earlier in the game will almost always be worse than a blue item from near the end of the game. The only way to get special effects on your weapons (fire/bleed/toxic for example) is by crafting weapon upgrades.

You can't do this, as the name "jeb_" is built into the game, and is not a command. An alternative I can suggest is repetitively changing the sheep's wool colour by killing the current colour and spawning the next colour after that one, and doing it over and over. This, however, will break after the DataID removal in 1.13 as it is a major update to commands.

Levelled rewards scale with your character level (i.e., the level you are when you first receive it) rather than scaling with a skill. The Nightingale Armor does have 3 levelled variants, so if you're a higher level when you receive it, you'll get the stronger version. Once you get it, however, it will not change, even as you grow in level. Armor in general scales with your Light Armor skill, but this only increases the Armor Rating, never the enchantment (which is where the levelled rewards differ).

Going through a door which loads a new area is what I use. The most obvious door is the elevator in the tower to go up to the 19th floor. So when I want to quit the game I usually make my way back to the tower and then take the lift. The save happens before loading the new area. So you will start on the ground floor of the tower.

Your character starts off a Legend Level 1 with no points earned. Because of this the number of points you have cumulatively earned will lag by 1 point compared to your Legend Level. Here's a brief chart to explain this: Legend Level | Points Earned | Cumulative Points Earned 1 | 0 | 0 2 | +1 | 1 3 | +1 | 2 4 | +1 | 3 and so on... You will earn an experience point for every legend level you unlock, but the fact they don't align is not a bug.

Once you have been to both the Slums and Old Town, you can fast travel between them. You do so using posters in the main safe houses (the towers). Below are the photos of the map icons and the posters. You can fast travel between them even after you have beaten the main mission.
