Techland has just released a fresh update for Dying Light 2 that’s bound to change how you move through the city. Patch 1.077, also known as version 1.24, introduces unlimited parkour by removing stamina costs from most parkour moves. This means you can now escape or engage in combat without worrying about running out of stamina—well, except for Dash and Dart skills.
Players on consoles will see this update as 1.077/1.77, and it applies to all platforms with the same fixes and improvements. The stamina system got a serious overhaul aimed at smoothing out combat and evasion. You won’t have to stop and catch your breath mid-parkour anymore, which should make the gameplay feel a lot more fluid.
Of course, some stamina restrictions remain in place to keep mission progression intact. For example, parkour still costs stamina during the “Pilgrim’s Path” quest, and stamina is still essential for combat, underwater swimming, and using the paraglider. It looks like Techland wants to keep a balance between free movement and gameplay challenge.
Curious about what else got tweaked? Here’s the full rundown of fixes and improvements from the patch notes:

What do you think about unlimited parkour? Too much freedom or just what the game needed? I’m kinda digging the change, but it’ll be interesting to see if it messes with the game’s tension at all. speak yourself in the comments below!
