11 Off-Map Video Game Secrets You Won't Believe

11. Volatile Nest - Dying Light (2015)

There's a reason everybody you meet in 2015's Dying Light warns you not to go out after dark. As soon as the eponymous light dies away, the regular zombies of Harran will be the least of your worries, for this is the time that the Volatiles come out to play.

These beings are incredibly fast, incredibly hard to kill, and, if you can't get away in time, incredibly lethal. Larger enemies exist within the game, but for the entirety of Dying Light, it's these nocturnal nightmares that pose the biggest threat of them all.

The game's expansion, The Following, introduced the concept of Volatile nests, which are where the creatures retreat to during the day.

However, one such nest does exist in the main game, too, if you look hard enough.

In a side corridor of an abandoned tunnel is a locked room, and trying the door will cause a Volatile to leap up at you and try to claw its way out. By noclipping your way in, you'll suddenly come face to face with the biggest horde of Volatiles you'll ever have seen at that point.

They don't attack you, but if you've played the game and seen first-hand the danger that even one of these can do, the scene is absolutely an unsettling one. Time to grapple the heck out of there and go foraging in more skips, methinks.
