Biters

The slow, low-level infected that fill the streets of Harran.

Biters are the slow, low-level infected of Dying Light, the baseline of an enemy roster that also includes Bombers, which explode when the player gets too close, fast-running Virals and the Volatiles that only appear at night. By day the infected are slow, apathetic and easy to avoid, and players can use environmental traps such as spikes, electrified fences and gas tanks against them.

Lore & Background

For Dying Light 2 Stay Human, Techland designed a life cycle for its zombies: the newly bitten are Virals, fast and dangerous enemies in whom some humanity remains, who then become Biters, described as regular zombies; Biters exposed to UV light for a long time devolve into Degenerates, with flesh falling off them.
