The Last of Us (Clicker)
The Last of Us was released in 2013 and showed us that games with zombie like enemies can be so much more than just that. Its take on infected and focus on a deep narrative earned it a ton of well-deserved praise. With that being said, it is absolutely no surprise that Techland would throw a nod towards one of last generation’s best games. Dying Light brings one of The Last of Us‘s most frightening enemies into the city of Harran: the clicker.
What you’ll need to do is begin the side quest “The Bunker” in Old Town and start following all of the objectives. It’s a rather long side quest, especially when compared to some story missions and most other quests so this will take a bit of time. Towards the end of this drawn out quest you’ll have to access the bunker of Town Hall. Instead of heading to said bunker, head to Floor 1 instead. There will be a few infected to deal with but once you do turn to the elevator and behold your easter egg.
If you’re a bit worried about how you’re going to take down an enemy that insta-kills you and can take a boatload of damage don’t. The actual clicker isn’t in Dying Light because firstly this game is multi-platform, and secondly that would just be super unfair to unknowing survivors. What you have instead is a zombie with a deformed skull that kind of resembles that of a clicker from The Last of Us. You might be saying “maybe that’s just a coincidence”, and normally I’d probably agree.
But, in order to seal the deal and really let you know that the clicker easter egg is real, you get a Clicker named upgrade that increases the all three statistics on your weapon. That is a pretty sweet deal considering weapon upgrades as potent as this one are very rare. This isn’t the only easter egg for a recent game though. Dying Light seems to have a sense of humor about a certain space game as well.
