Players can also choose from 40 different paintjobs to customize their car, and must collect fuel in order to drive the buggy. The buggy's performance and efficiency are affected by factors including the power of its suspension, engine, and brakes. It has its own separate skill tree, and weapons, including spikes, flamethrowers, UV lights, electrical cages and other upgrades can be added to the buggy to increase its combat abilities. Players can use them to travel across the game's world quickly and mow down enemies. One of the new features introduced is a drivable dune buggy. Players can use parkour movements, such as climbing ledges, leaping, sliding, jumping and zip-lining, to move between places and kill enemies.
Set in a map that is twice as large as the two previous maps of Dying Light, The Following's gameplay is similar to that of the main game where the infected are slow and fragile during daytime, and become aggressive and fast at night time.
