on

Stepping back into the shoes of Kyle Crane in Dying Light: The Beast reveals a survivor forever changed. After 13 years of torment, Crane is no longer just a man fighting infected—he’s a fusion of human resilience and monstrous power.

Beast Mode Skill Tree Guide - Dying Light: The Beast
Understanding the Beast Skill Tree

Unlike the game’s other skill trees (Agility, Power, Survival), the Beast Skill Tree progresses differently:

  • Earning Beast Points: Gain points only by defeating Chimeras, special boss enemies tied to the main story.

  • No Respec Option: Every point spent is permanent. Plan your build carefully before committing.

This unique progression evolves Beast Mode from a reactive burst of anger into a tactical weapon you can command.
