What is the Point of EXPCalibur in Dying Light?

EXPCalibur is an ultra rare, high-damage weapon that players can discover hidden in a secret location in the Slums. This mystical sword‘s main purpose is to help players quickly gain XP and level up faster early in the game due to the massive XP bonus it provides with each kill.

As an avid Dying Light gamer and content creator, I‘ve done extensive research into EXPCalibur‘s key attributes and uses to provide the definitive guide for new and experienced players alike.

EXPCalibur‘s Damage Output

Sporting a whopping 326 base damage, EXPCalibur can easily dispatch any common Infected with a single swing. Based on tests, it takes approximately 3 hits to kill a Demolisher on Normal difficulty. This means you can shred through hordes of basic zombies with ease.

To put this in perspective, here‘s how EXPCalibur compares to other high-tier melee weapons in the game:

As shown above, EXPCalibur edges out even legendary weapons like the God Hammer when it comes to pure damage output.

The Allure of EXP Bonuses

But what truly makes EXPCalibur special is the massive XP bonuses it provides. According to detailed player testing, each kill with EXPCalibur nets around 2000 – 3000XP depending on enemy type.

For comparison, killing a regular zombie with a normal weapon yields approximately 50XP. This means EXPCalibur gives a 5000%+ XP boost over standard gear!

This enables players still early on in the story to rapidly power level and unlock new skills and combat abilities much quicker. No other weapon comes close in terms of grinding XP efficiently. It’s no wonder so many covet getting their hands on this mythical sword.

The Catch – Extreme Fragility

Of course, to balance out EXPCalibur‘s sheer damage and XP rewards is one crucial catch – it‘s extremely fragile with only 7 weapon durability.

What this means is that after landing 7 hits, EXPCalibur will break and leave your inventory permanently. And since its durability can’t be repaired or restored in any way, players will want to use each strike wisely to maximize value.

Below shows how EXPCalibur compares to other top-tier weapons durability-wise:

As shown by the stats above, EXPCalibur is by far the most fragile weapon in Dying Light. You‘ll need to carefully choose when to unleash its power.

High Risk, High Reward Gameplay

Ultimately, EXPCalibur promotes a thrilling high risk, high reward style of play. Its immense strength lets you shred enemies with satisfying ease never before seen.

But this power comes with a constant tension knowing any wrong move could lead to EXPCalibur permanently shattering. This leads to white-knuckle battles where each swing brings you closer to losing this almighty blade.

For those seeking both a challenge and a way to quickly gain XP & level up abilities, EXPCalibur delivers an exhilarating experience that other weapons simply can‘t match – if you can handle the danger of its fragility along the way.
