With no guns to be found in Dying Light 2, the Crossbow is a powerful weapon

One of the things that makes Dying Light 2 stand out, apart from its exciting combat, is how that combat is approached. Players are unable to access guns, so they have to be sneaky and smart while facing the enemy. With a Crossbow in hand, players will be able to attack from a range. With so many parkour options available at their disposal, players can attack the enemy from several angles.

To get the Crossbow, players first need to unlock the City Alignment system. In order to do that, they must complete the quest Water Tower. This allows players to align the watertowers with the factions of either the Peacekeepers or the Survivors. Players will then need to complete the quest Lets Waltz, where they can then begin assigning power stations to the two factions as well.

Getting a Crossbow requires helping the Peacekeepers

While assigning the seven facilities to either faction, players must ensure that the Peacekeepers end up in control of at least four of them. If players do not allocate four or more facilities to Peacekeepers, they cannot unlock the crossbow in Dying Light 2. This is not good news for people who would rather side with the Survivors. However, this is the only way to unlock the Crossbow in game.
