Limited-time offers

• Though Ultimate Survivor Bundle brought a number of pre-order weapon blueprints and outfits (Buzz Killer Weapon Pack, Night Club Weapon Pack, The Lacerator Weapon Pack, The Constable Weapon Pack, Ninja Outfit, Urban Explorer Outfit, Special Agent Outfit) to the newer audience of Dying Light, it didn't bring back Wrench Kiss Weapon Pack and Punk Queen Weapon Pack.
  • But, at least on Steam, it is possible to get these two weapon packs (Wrench Kiss and Punk Queen) by purchasing Dying Light Enhanced Edition or Dying Light Definitive Edition (it was also included in pre-purchase versions of both standard and ultimate editions of the game, and in the Platinum Edition). But beware that the 2022 free upgrade to Enhanced Edition for Steam owners of the standard edition don't include Wrench Kiss and Punk Queen weapon packs! Dying Light Ultimate Edition (discontinued since 2016 when Enhanced Edition did launch) owners didn't get these two weapon packs either.

Discontinued Alienware Outfit

• There are a number of pre-order or partner programs exclusive DLC outfits that are not currently legally obtainable. All these outfits are purely aesthetic and do not provide any in-game advantage.
  • The Troublemaker Outfit is a DLC outfit only available to players who pre-ordered the Xbox One version of Dying Light.
  • The Master Scavenger Outfit is a DLC outfit only available to players who pre-ordered the PS4 version of Dying Light.
  • The Alienware, Nvidia, and Razer suits are downloadable content outfits available for Dying Light players who have signed up for the limited-time affiliate programs with their respective brands.

In 2020—2021, Techland gave away Steam activation codes for Bad Blood to owners of the original Dying Light through their website dockets.dyinglightgame.com, TechlandGG's predecessor, but it never caught on.
