Black Monday Explained [Dying Light 2] 

I honestly hope Techland makes an official timeline between the events of dying light 1 and 2, I like putting the pieces together but it would be nice to have an official timeline of events.

Oof. I can already see where this timeline is ripe for the picking for plot. Dying Light 3 could pick up anywhere.

Matt is definitely the bad guy. The Butcher was extremely kind to Aiden despite Aiden killing his men. Matt however admitted to bribing Steve which was suspicious immediately. And the fact that the Renegade bodies were immediately ordered to be taken away and turned out to be pks which was obvious because Renigades wear masks and show their mouths and the rest of their heads the pks had rags covering their heads. So i knew Jack Matt wasn't the good guy he tried pretending to be. And then him demanding to be allowed to raid the Renegade Compound so he could kill Williams seemed off. Almost like Matt knew that Williams knew something and wanted him dead to prevent the truth from coming out. And then he attacks Aiden and tried getting the pks to attack The Nightrunners where Frank reveals that Matt tried killing him and the Pks arrest Matt.

Honestly they should make a TV series of dying light.. It's so interesting to listen to the people ingame what they did when the apocalypse began! Imagine seeing some different people as main characters in a TV series and also showing what happened inside the GRE from the view of a person working in the laboratory. At first you see the normal life of the main characters, what they did for a living, what kind of hobbys, friends and family they had and in every episode the outbreak comes closer. Two days before the outbreak things are going crazy. A lot of people heard about a zombie accident and all people are nervous. The GRE is present in the television and still wants to fool humanity with their TRV project and lies to all people. Some people don't trust the GRE because of what in Harran happened and start to leave the city, some stay and try to barricade their houses. God damn it i would love such a series! In dying light 2 you can sit down at the campfires where's a book symbol. There are people telling storys and it's interesting to listen to them. Sometimes you also find an old telephone where old messages are on the answering machine and they tell storys from the past. One person said she was at work and called her husband. She told him he needs to pick the kids up and they have to meet at a certain point in the city and get away together, she repeatedly told him to trust him just one time in his life. The sad thing is that this message was on the answering machine and it seems her husband never heard that message.. Another person was talking about her father. He was working as exterminator and the government forced him to clean a special kind of house. She followed her father and the people from the government to the house and she was hiding in a bush in front of it. He had to walk into the house and came out after some minutes, then he talked to the people from the government and said that there are no cokroaches or some insects, he said there are zombies inside. The woman realised her father had to kill zombies and she thinks she heard about zombies 2 weeks before the global outbreak.

jack matt could have been in charge of the evac and decided to ignore the order or instead he orderd the strikes and made sure his evac squads failed so he could initiate a coup .or he owned aidens GRE key and used it to bomb villedor. whether he stole the key or not and later it came into lucases possession starting dying light 2

In my first playthrough I sided with Matt and the Peacekeepers most of the way(aside from Old Villedor when I helped Bazaar) I had my doubts about Matt after Juan got executed, and when I met the Colonel, and he didn't kill me and Lawan on sight after slaughtering like 1000 of his men in the past days I realised that the Matt was worse and decided to trust Williams. And my suspicion was finally confirmed when Matt showed up with the Peacekeepers to kill me after helping him out with everything just because I didn't kill the Colonel, without even giving Aiden a chance to explain himself, even when Aiden told him that he has to find Mia, Matt still orders his men to kill Aiden

Spoiler: Still cut about Veronika's death lmao, she seemed like a pretty interesting character that could of added more to the story, but then died in the most brutal way possible.

MAN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! you explain the lore so perfect bro, please keep these coming! 🔥

I don't trust the government all that much so I tend to take an archaic view of civilization in games. So I trusted Juan and went on the full support in favor of the Survivors, and I trusted the Colonel when confronting him. And all those choices lead to exposing Matt. Juan was really telling the truth pretty much. Please keep these lore videos rolling btw. I love them and I want to see you dissect this series bone dry!

Matt is definitely responsible as the path i chose later reveals that matt ordered franks murder as frank was starting to Become suspicious

Peacekeeper has great people like Aitor but has bad leader like Jack Matt. Free Folks has worst people like Sophie, her braindead bodyguard and her psychopath brother but has best leader like Frank

The GRE sounds alot like Johnson & Johnson lol

Thanks, very useful and well presented video! :)

I'm so glad that I didn't give the Antenna to Jack. I swear I could smell his BS from a mile away.

can you do what happened at the vnc tower with the night runners next? i always thought that the topic was pretty cool but i don’t fully understand it

Dude your voice awesome and it would be perfect for those spooky videos/story's that are on RU-vid

Don’t they say in the story that a few cities across London are still around? I know he says something about it but I don’t remember what exactly

It’s dumb the butcher appears for 5 minutes despite being so important. Hopefully a following type expansion could make use of the sunken city area and his gang.

I got a photo of the banshee in game with the necklace xD

I seriously got to get my hands on this game.

Damn when I played to the story I must’ve took an easy way through because half of these events I just came up in this video I didn’t really see it I probably wasn’t paying attention but I’m definitely replaying so I could make the story last longer and uncover some stuff because in my ending Juan and Williams took control of the city

I like the side-characters more than the main-characters

I can’t wait to play this game!

Do I think Matt sabotaged his own unit for power yes, do I think he’s responsible for the bombings no, because at the time the army was still in charge so I don’t see a simple major ordering the bombing of half the city while a colonel and general were still alive and in charge

watching these "explained videos" because i finished the game with only listening to half of the dialogue because it would bug out and wouldnt let me hear/read the subtitles/audio

Do you have a video about the March massacre? Would love to hear your take on it.

I sided with Juan and the colonel. The city doesn't seem to end up so well after doing so. It mentions 40 people being trampled in food rationing lines. I'm not sure what the other endings are like, but it can't be much worse.

Explain black friday next pls

I know its a videogame, but under no circumstances would the GRE had been able to survive the first scrutiny and then go on to do THIS. Wish days gone 2 wasnt canceled. They seemed to be really good with story telling and it actually seemed viable how that virus spread so fast and well WITH MINIMAL BS that would normally be questioned

I like how this was uploaded on a Monday

IM SOOOO INLOVE WITH THIS CHANNEL! xx

I think Jack Matt did it. No real reason to add that last bit unless he's guilty.

A military or company spec ops story would be cool like resident evil umbrella agent guy for a filler before the next installment a giant Sand box mmo or better would be cool

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Banshee comic is non canon. It's an in game comic book. It's deemed an "Urban Legend" by Techland and promoted as such. Also Juan mentions that Matt is the one who actually dropped the bombs when he's about to be executed, but nobody else in the entire game, not even The Colonel, confirms this. The Colonel is known as The Butcher because of the 2 million citizens of Villedor who died in the Black Monday Bombing, not March Massacre which was lead by General Pratt (USING soldiers loyal to Williams. He didn't actually do it himself). But again, this is a fantastic video, man. I believe it would be better to have the recordings play during the video so viewers can hear it.

Cool video

This just looks like techland wanted their own little glowing sea from fallout, looks great tho and gives off a good atmosphere.

Imagine a dying light game in Paris Like you could just swing around the top of the Eiffel Tower with the grappling hook

What about the islands in the Pacific,Atlantic or mediterranean or can the infected swim?

I ended up siding with the renegades on my first playthrough with Juan becoming leader but even when he tried to silence the protests for water he couldnt handle it Colonel Willams holding his place yes was scared and made bad mistakes (siding with walts) but I would believe Jack is power hungry especially by making your own version of the army why not go with other civilians instead of creating the Peacekeepers let alone leaving the Survivors at the Bazzar to be eaten by the infected all of these small snippets of information could actually leave Jack Matt responsible for the Monday Bombings

I think Renegate Ending is better than Peacekeeper Ending. Survival Ending is the BEST.

My entire play through was fuck the Bazaar for not only trying to hang me but constantly being assholes and a liability using me to achieve their own selfish goals and wants where the PKs were helpful and chill (mostly) but then once hitting the big city I aided the survivors all the way to the very end and glad I made the right choices

Say what you want about the story (it’s not great in my opinion) but the world building throughout the two games is nothing short of unreal.

Gnarly. Let's go!

I'm really really liking this game its buggy but I'm really enjoying it

I know this game isn't supposed to be realistic and what not... who cares right?, but one thing I can not get my head around is these big ass luscious trees growing in a few inches of dirt on a roof top.

You gotta do a story explained on control!!!

This game is great lol

19 december is my birthday xd

i thought this was like black friday.

Is anyone else wondering how this new outbreak managed to jump oceans when quarantines and martial law should have been declared? I mean, don't you think the other countries across oceans could have seen a mass outbreak in Europe and been able to cease all flights and shipments to their own countries?.

I think dying light 3 might be in space because of the space cock side mission

In the game, Matt may not be the best, but I am going to take choices that lead to the survival of humanity, and I think the peacekeepers are a necessary evil. After all, Bandits and Zombies are the largest threat to human life (along with suicide). These problems can be solved with a strong military that can arrest bandits, clear zombies, and give people purpose, whatever that may be. After all, it is better for survival if a house or new land can be cleared out by a military and fortified, as it can be used to farm or live, increasing survival rates. There are also a limited number of zombies, and if those can be whittled down by traps and the like by significant amounts more and more people will survive.

The banshee comic was garbage with garbage writing, I see why people consider it non-canon

Well, they ain't gonna put that rubbish speech and ah very obvious dodge if an answer from who is receiving that accusation for nothing.

Personally I think both of them are responsible

Dying light 2 story' is oddly the same with Corona virus but don't turn peaplo to be crazy

When it comes to Jack, I reckon almost everything he says is self-serving bullshit. Williams and his men are shown to be compassionate, peaceful (if a little guarded) individuals with no ill-intent or devious plans for the city. The Colonel himself was fully prepared to die if it meant his wife was spared, he risked everything he had to appeal to Aiden's good nature and humanity, and even did everything in his power to atone for his mistake in siding with Waltz before realising he was bad news. Therefore, I do not believe Williams asked Jack to shoot a civilian (even if he did, he has come to regret those actions and is a changed man since), and likely did not cause the chemical strike (or the missile strike either), and possibly not even the mass shooting. Jack has been twisting perception of Williams for years so he could eventually kill him off and wipe his hands of anyone who still knew the truth. The Peacekeepers are not bad, they are just victims of deceptive leadership.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN EXCUSE THE PUN. It was the bomb! *cough*

Kaiserreich fans seeing "Black monday" Kaiserreich fans: *shudders*

Of course it's always the GRE, isn't it?

I believe matt wanted more power, his own army and the butcher simply carried out orders. I never trusted the peacekeepers, pretending to be military men when the world was already over and failing to save people in need, blindly carrying out matt's orders for his own personal gain.
