Should you let Lawan detonate the bombs or save her in Dying Light 2?

Dying Light 2 offers several choices that can impact the narrative of this survival horror experience. While some options are inconsequential, others can dictate how the game ends. One of the most critical choices in Dying Light 2 is letting Lawan detonate missiles to stop them from decimating the city or convincing her to save herself from the explosion.

Players should let Lawan detonate the explosives in the finale of Dying Light 2. While the game frames the decision as one that could spell Lawan's demise, Hakon comes to save her should you let her make this decision (provided he's alive at this point), meaning she survives regardless. Because she's safe from danger, either way, it's best to save as many people as you can from the imminent threat of these missiles. If Hakon is dead in your game and you favor Lawan over the city's populace, feel free to sacrifice them in favor of her instead.

Once players lock in their choice, they'll see a cutscene that leads them to believe that Lawan will die, but don't fret. She'll turn out alright with Hakon watching her back. What becomes of the city after the explosion depends on whether you sided with Juan and Willams or the free people of the last safe city, so make sure to side with the people you care about most.
