Which DLC is the Best in Dying Light?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

After extensive analysis of all major Dying Light DLCs, I believe Hellraid stands out as the top choice for most players.

I compared Hellraid against the other most popular DLC options—Bloody Ties, The Following, Bozak Horde, and Gun Psycho Bundle—across five criteria:

  • Content amount
  • Weapons/loot quality
  • Enjoyability
  • Replay value
  • Value for money

Below I‘ve summarized my objective comparisons across these categories:
