Dying Light 2 Crossbow and Blueprint Bugs: How to Fix

Sadique Hassan•Updated Feb 14, 2022

In this guide, we will be sharing a workaround that might help you fix the Dying Light 2 Crossbow and Blueprint bugs. This action role-playing game has just been released for numerous platforms. With a new protagonist, having numerous parkour skills and related animations, and tons of melee and long-range weapons(which could be upgraded via different blueprints), there are indeed quite a few things to look forward to.

However, in spite of all the goodies attached, it isn’t free from its fair share of issues. A slew of complaints are lined up across various forums where users have voiced their concern that they are unable to get the Crossbow. Along the same lines, the bug is also preventing them from getting access to the blueprints. Here’s what is actually happening. When the users are doing one of the electric stations, they are 1 for survivors and 3 for the Peacekeepers.

Then when they are on the last menu (where you need to choose a faction), the game will assume that you have every survivor group upgrade (jump pads, exploding cars, etc). Along the same lines, the Peacekeepers is also at 10, though the correct value should be 4. Combine all these issues, and the Dying Light 2 users are the ultimate sufferers as they are unable to get the Crossbow and Blueprint. If you are also getting bugged with this issue, then this tutorial will make you aware of a method to rectify it once and for all. Follow along.

How to Fix Dying Light 2 Crossbow and Blueprint Bugs

To rectify this issue, you will have to take the help of a Developer Menu mod. So refer to the below instructions steps to implement this fix right away:

To begin with, download the Dying Light 2 Dev Menu-11-1-1-1644076101.zip.
Then extract it to any convenient location on your PC.
This should give you the data2.pak file, transfer it to the following directory:
```
Dying Light 2\ph\source\
```
Now launch the game and head over to the Hints menu.
Within that, go to the Items tab and head over to its Search bar.
Then type in cross in the search box and select ‘PK Crossbow’ weapon from the search results.
So with this, you would have got the PK Crossbow. Regarding the Blueprint, type in Bolt in the search box.
Then select Craftplan_Bolt from the results and you would have got the Blueprint as well.

This mod has been known to spell out success for many users, however, there are still a few concerns. While NexuMods is a pretty popular name in the modding community, however, not everyone will be comfortable downloading a mod from a third-party site. Moreover, this method to fix the Dying Light 2 Crossbow and Blueprint bugs would only work for PC users, and Play Station users are still left behind. So all this begs for an important question-

What is the official stance on this matter? Well, at the time of writing there’s no acknowledgment of this issue from the developers (Techland), let alone the ETA for the fix. As and when that happens, we will update this post accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workaround is your best bet. On that note, we round off this guide.
