Spoiler: for kicking zombies into outer space, that's why

Using wrestling dropkicks to slam zombies to the ground in Dying Light is pretty fun, but launching them into orbit is a much more satisfying experience, as one intrepid player has discovered.

After a minimal amount of messing with the game files, a user altered the power of the dropkick in order to apply a hilarious effect where zombies are projected into nearby buildings and even into the ocean, highlighting the importance of never skipping leg day when working out.

Dying Light modding sparked some drama over the weekend, but now the waters have cleared and everyone has gotten the official seal of approval from developer Techland.

Considering the wealth of mods created for Dead Island, Techland's previous first-person zombie survival video game, we're bound to see a lot of interesting stuff created for the PC version of Dying Light in the near future.

Until then, we can watch an entertaining video of someone kicking zombies into nearby building, set to a great soundtrack that, paradoxically, isn't "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor."

In any case, the orbital dropkick cannon looks like a good start for a furious Bruce Lee meets Dragon Ball Z mod. Which you can incidentally see in action (as a Dead Island mod) in the second video below.
