Dying Light 2: Bloody Ties Carnage Manica guide

If you want to upgrade the Carnage Manica in Bloody Ties, here’s what you need to do:

• Talk to the Carnage Hall rewards vendor and scroll down to the Blueprints section. Purchase any of the items that you prefer (more on these later).
• As with other mods/blueprints, you’ll have to speak to the crafting vendor to upgrade their efficiency.
• Next, go ahead and open your inventory and go to the Accessories tab. Equip the Carnage Manica.
• With the Carnage Manica highlighted, press “C” to switch to the upgrades panel. Here, you’ll notice three functions:
  • Rim-type mods provide elemental effects to perfect blocks.
  • Meanwhile, Shot-type mods affect the projectile that you unleash.
  • Lastly, the Slam-type mods refer to the special slam attack that you can do.

Note: Similar to other weapon mods, you can have fire, electric, ice, and toxic elemental effects.

So, how do you use the Carnage Manica in Dying Light 2: Bloody Ties? Well, as cited earlier, you’ll want to remember its three distinct functions.

• Block (right mouse button) – If you have the tool equipped/active, you can press or hold the right mouse button. It can boost your blocking capabilities, though you still need to avoid power attacks. If you can manage a perfect block, then it will help charge the meters of the other two moves.
• Elemental Shot (middle mouse button) – When charged, press the middle mouse button to shoot an elemental projectile.
• Elemental Slam (right mouse button + “R” key) – The pop-up notification is actually incorrect (it’s not left-click + “R”). Anyway, this one takes a while to charge. But, once the meter is full, you can do an AoE burst with a particular effect that depends on the elemental mod in the slot.
