Dying Light The Beast Killing Streak Volume 2 Walkthrough

This walkthrough covers the Killing Streak Volume 2 bounty in Dying Light: The Beast, explaining exactly which enemies to kill, where to find them efficiently, and how to track your progress so you can complete the challenge and claim the reward without wasting time.

Formula

The calculator works out your kill rate (kills per minute) during a Killing Streak bounty. The formula is:

Kills per minute = Enemies killed ÷ Streak duration (minutes)

• Enemies killed – the number of infected or bandits you have defeated during the current streak (count).
• Streak duration – the time elapsed since the streak started, in minutes (min).
• Kills per minute – the average pace you are maintaining, shown as kills/min.

Worked Example

Using the default values: you have killed 50 enemies in 10 minutes.

1. Divide kills by minutes: 50 ÷ 10 = 5.
2. The result is 5 kills per minute.

The calculator shows 5.00 kills/min as the headline answer. This tells you whether you are on track to finish the bounty within the time limit.

What Is Killing Streak Volume 2?

Killing Streak Volume 2 is a bounty (a timed challenge) in Dying Light: The Beast. It requires you to kill a specific number of enemies – typically 50 – within a set time window, without letting the streak timer expire. The challenge appears in the bounty board after you progress through the main story or complete earlier bounties. Unlike the first Volume, which usually focuses on basic infected, Volume 2 often mixes in bandits or special infected, so you need to plan your route.

How the Streak Timer Works

The streak timer counts down from the moment you make your first kill. If the timer reaches zero, the bounty fails and you must restart. Key rules:

• The timer starts at 10 minutes (or as specified in your game version).
• Each kill adds a small amount of time (usually 2–3 seconds) to the timer, so you can extend it by staying aggressive.
• If you run away or hide for too long, the timer will expire.
• Kills only count if they are made by you – not by traps, fall damage, or other NPCs.

Best Locations to Farm Kills

Efficiency is everything. The best spots have high enemy density and short respawn times. These are the most reliable areas in the game world:

• Old Town rooftops – at night, the streets below are packed with virals and biters. Use a bow or silenced weapon to pick them off from above, then drop down to finish groups.
• The Slums (near the gas station) – a large open area with multiple spawn points. Run in circles to gather a horde, then use a grenade or explosive arrow.
• Bandit camps – if the bounty includes bandits, raid a camp. They are fewer but give more time per kill, and you can use stealth takedowns.
• Underground parking garages – these have tight corridors that funnel enemies, making it easy to hit multiple with one swing or shot.

For pure numbers, the Stuffed Turtle quarantine zone (if available in your version) is a classic farming spot – it has a constant stream of biters and a safe room to reset the zone.

Weapons and Skills That Help

Your loadout matters more than your aim. Use these to maximise kills per minute:

• Two-handed blunt weapons – they hit multiple enemies in one swing, especially with the “Power Attackâ€� skill.
• Fire or electricity mods – these cause area damage and chain between enemies.
• Throwing knives or shurikens – instant kills on biters from a distance, no reload.
• The “Tackleâ€� skill – lets you knock down groups, then finish them on the ground.
• Night-time boosters – if you are playing at night, use a speed booster to outrun virals while you gather a horde.

Avoid weapons that are too slow (like sledgehammers) unless you have the “Heavy Hitter� skill that increases swing speed.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Most players fail this bounty because of these errors:

• Killing too slowly at the start – you need to build a lead. If you only have 10 minutes, you cannot afford to spend the first 2 minutes walking to a spawn point.
• Using loud weapons near volatile zones – at night, a gunshot attracts volatiles that will kill you and reset the timer.
• Not tracking the timer – keep an eye on the top-right corner of the screen. If you are below 5 kills per minute, you will not finish.
• Letting enemies die from fall damage – if you throw a biter off a roof, it does not count as your kill. Always finish them with a hit.
• Running out of stamina – bring stamina boosters or use the “Adrenalineâ€� skill to keep swinging.

Rewards and Why It Matters

Completing Killing Streak Volume 2 gives you a significant amount of survivor XP and a unique weapon blueprint (usually a fire-infused machete or similar). The XP helps you unlock new skills, while the blueprint can be crafted repeatedly. More importantly, completing this bounty is often a prerequisite for the next Volume, so if you want the full set, you need to finish this one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the streak timer pause during cutscenes or when I open the menu?

No, the timer continues to run even if you pause the game. You must complete the bounty in one continuous play session. If you need a break, finish the bounty first or fail it and restart later.

Can I use the grappling hook to move faster between groups?

Yes, the grappling hook is extremely useful for covering ground quickly. However, it does not kill enemies, so you still need to make every kill count. Use it to jump between rooftops where hordes are gathered.

Do kills from explosions or fire traps count?

No, only kills that you directly cause with your weapons or skills count. Explosives you throw (like grenades) do count because you are the source, but pre-placed traps or environmental hazards do not.

What happens if I die during the streak?

Dying resets the bounty completely. You will need to start over from zero kills and the full timer. It is better to retreat and heal if you are low on health, even if it costs you a few seconds.

Is there a difference between day and night for this bounty?

Yes. At night, there are more virals and biters, but also more volatiles that can kill you quickly. If you are confident in your combat skills, night is faster. If you want safety, do it during the day – the spawns are fewer but the risk is lower.

Can I do this bounty in co-op?

Yes, but only the host’s kills count toward the bounty. If you are playing as a guest, you can help, but you will not get credit unless you are the host. If you want to complete it together, take turns hosting.
