Dying Light 2 is a game full of references and little easter eggs, but one of the more useful little secrets comes in the form of a certain weapon that is very clearly referencing another weapon that can be found in Cyberpunk 2077.

Another title heavily referenced in the game is Dead Island, Techland's first zombie franchise before it moved on to create Dying Light. In the prologue, players can find a vinyl record titled "Who Do You Voodoo" which fans will recognize as the intro
