Dying Light: The Beast — Why The New Update Broke Nightmare Mode

Dying Light: The Beast — Why The New Update Broke Nightmare Mode

In today’s video I’m diving into the Nightmare Difficulty experience in Dying Light: The Beast after the major 1.5 update (released on the 17th) — and breaking down why the new hunger mechanic has the community split. A lot of you said Nightmare is fun, but the hunger meter drains way too fast… and after testing it, I can see why. I timed each hunger stage (Full → Hungry → Very Hungry → Famished → Starving) and explained exactly how it impacts stamina, regeneration, health penalties, combat difficulty, escaping chases, and even what happens when you hit starvation (including the frustrating “death loop” risk if you respawn without nearby food). If you’re struggling with the hunger system on Nightmare, I also mention a helpful PC mod that rebalances the mechanic: ✅ Hunger Reworked Mod (PC): https://www.nexusmods.com/dyinglightt... 🎁 GIVEAWAY: I’m giving away a free copy of Dying Light: The Beast on your platform of choice!
