Survival in the post-apocalypse isn't just about how hard you can swing a pipe; it's about what you can build with the scraps you find. Week 6 of the "Call of the Beast" event has officially kicked off in Dying Light: The Beast, shifting the focus from raw combat to resourcefulness.
Master Craftsman Challenge Details
After 13 years of captivity, Kyle Crane knows better than anyone that resources are finite. This week's challenge, appropriately titled "Master Craftsman," leans into that survivalist desperation. The objective is straightforward but essential: hit specific crafting milestones to prove you can keep your arsenal functioning in the rural nightmare Techland has built.
Engaging with the crafting system this week unlocks two specific rewards designed for the long haul:
- Redwood Runner: A rugged new vehicle skin perfect for tearing through the muddy terrain of the countryside.
- The Shanker: A brutal melee weapon reward for those who put in the time at the workbench.
Cosplay Contest Champions
Alongside the in-game grind, Techland has unveiled the winners of the "Dying Light The Beast Versus The Baron" cosplay contest. The community creativity on display here is genuinely impressive, bringing the grim aesthetic of the game into reality.
The top honors went to:
- 1st Place: GOLDENSHADOW
- 2nd Place: CYPERIAN_WORKSHOP
- 3rd Place: WHITE WOLF
Is the Call of the Beast event worth grinding?
With 23 total rewards spread across an 11-week schedule, the "Call of the Beast" event is clearly designed to keep player retention high post-launch. If you are looking to flesh out Crane's inventory with exclusive cosmetics and gear that fits the lore of his return, keeping up with these weekly objectives is the best way to do it. The Master Craftsman challenge is particularly organic—you have to craft to survive anyway, so you might as well get paid for it.
