Does Dying Light The Beast Have Third-Person Driving? Answered

In the two Dying Light releases, driving vehicles has always been in third-person. This can be pretty immersive at best and annoying at worst when you’re trying to navigate tricky terrain or urban environments. It’s been a common request from players to rectify this with third-person driving.

So, does Dying Light: The Beast correct that? Can you switch to third-person mode? Here is everything you need to know.

Does Dying Light The Beast Have Third-Person Driving?

Yes, you can drive in the third-person perspective in Dying Light: The Beast. The game comes with support for both camera perspectives, unlike the last two titles in the series.

Don’t forget, vehicles require fuel and aren’t invincible. Hitting too many biters will eventually wear it out, and you’ll need to exit it. Smaller water streams can be crossed easily, but deep water will drown the vehicle. 

How To Switch to Third-Person Driving in Dying Light The Beast

To drive in third-person mode in Dying Light: The Beast, simply press V / RB / R1 while you’re in the vehicle to switch back and forth between camera perspectives.

That’s all you have to do, and you can enjoy the sights of Castor Woods in third person. Driving has always felt great, even in the last few games, and the developers have done a great job of maintaining that experience in third person as well.

Personally, when I’m simply driving from point A to B, I’ll stick to third person, but if I’m using the vehicle to either take down biters or get away from trouble, I’ll switch back to first person for the higher immersion. I’m glad that the developers finally listened to this minor but really neat.

Overall, driving is pretty straightforward, impactful, and a lot of fun in both first and third-person camera perspectives.
