Hordes

**Hordes** (also referred to as Infected Horde or Hordes of Infected) are a special feature in Dying Light 2 Stay Human.

## Description

Although not making an impacting appearance in the main events of Dying Light 2 Stay Human, hordes are in fact a killable source of Infected, that was granted to the player in Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Bloody Deception. There are a total 30 hordes total, 1 being story related. Hordes generally consist of Virals or Volatiles, which both only appear during night, however, there some hordes that are active during the day that consist of Biters, the general size of hordes is between 80-400.

## Behavior

Hordes posses different behavior then standard wandering Infected. The horde will attempt to stick together at all times, resulting in them trampling over one another to get ahead, if there is a fresh meal when they are provoked. Hordes will find the easiest way to get to the player going to through and over obstacles. During the day time depending on the type of infected in the horde, they will either stay out in the sun light and roam, or if the horde were to consist of Virals or Volatiles, they will roam during the night and go to a specific location to feed off the remains of corpses and then take refuge in dark areas in the day being, buildings, bigger vehicles, caverns or caves.

A feature worth noting is, Volatiles are less powerful when in a horde, they will slow each other down, but will still posses a decent amount of speed, however it is inferred to not attempt Volatile hordes until the player has a decent firearm and a stock of UV Grenades.

## Strategy

Hordes in general are a more difficult threat to fight, due to their large numbers. They can trap you in corner, dead ends to cut off your run or escape. Before fighting the horde, make sure have an escape plan before engaging.

***Stamina, STAMINA, STAMINA!***

* When fighting a horde, make sure your have a decent stamina level, especially when fighting Viral or Volatile hordes.

***Ammunition Is EVERYTHING!***

* Rather then using a melee weapon to fight hordes, use a firearm, that way you can keep distance between your self and the horde and generate effective damage against it, be sure to stockpile ammunition before taking down the horde.
