What are crystals in Dying Light 2: Stay Human?

Crystals are a by-product stemming from the GRE using hazardous chemicals to dispatch the Infected in Villedor. This proved to be ineffective; instead, these dumping grounds are more harmful to humans as they can kill them within seconds of exposure.

How does immunity factor with crystals in Dying Light 2: Stay Human?

As crystals can be found in chemical areas across the map, these zones can be detrimental to players' immunity levels over time. The longer one remains in this area; the more immunity gets depleted.

Therefore, players should be cautious and extra careful when spending too much time in these hazardous or dark areas when looking for crystals. If the immunity level becomes severely low, they risk losing their humanity and getting infected.

The best way players can combat this hazardous dilemma is to have a strategy when hunting for crystals. This could include using Skill Points earned by fighting, traversing or completing quests which can be used to upgrade specific skills or attributes.

More specifically, use the Skill Points to upgrade your parkour skills which can help decrease your chances of getting infected when in hazardous areas. Additionally, ensuring that your weapons are in good condition when harvesting crystals is essential.

With your skills upgraded and your weapons in good condition, they'll be harvesting crystals without increasing their chances of infection. Nevertheless, it would be wise if you still kept an eye on your immunity level when entering "green zones" or risk becoming Infected.
