Dying Light 2's map editor has entered its beta phase on PC, and Techland is holding a contest with a $50,000 prize pool to see who can make the best maps.

If you already own the base game, you can download Dying Light 2's Developer Tools via Steam or the Epic Games Store free of charge now and start building out our dream map. If you make something cool enough and submit your entry via Techland's partner mod.io here, you can win $5,000 USD, an Asus gaming laptop, or an AMD GPU/CPU package deal. Techland and mod.io are giving away 10 cash prizes to the creators with "the most creative, fun, and adrenaline-packed maps."

Here are some essential Dying Light 2 tips to acquaint yourself with whether or not you're a custom map builder.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
