There are a lot of tutorials to get through early in Dying Light: The Beast. Many of them are helpful as you learn the ins and outs of the mechanics, but after a few hours, they can become an aggravation. Thankfully, it’s an easy matter to turn off the hint tutorial pop-ups so you’re not being bombarded with information you already have.

How to turn off hints and hint pop-ups in Dying Light: The Beast

The ability to turn off hints (the annoying “You have Skill Points to spend!” and other reminders) is the second option down in the Game screen of the Settings menu. Simply toggle the switch to “Off,” and the game will stop bothering you with prompts for simple tasks.

You’ll likely want to turn hints off after about an hour, as they won’t stop appearing if you have missing health, unspent Beast Points, or some other trivial matter. And you will want to save Beast Points early on, as you don’t start getting them in larger quantities until several hours into the game.

You can also keep track of unspent Points via the flashing icons next to your experience bar, located in the top left corner of your screen. The orange icon represents Beast Points, the white rising arrows are Skill Points. As for healing items, you should always have at least a few bandages on hand, and there’s no penalty for crafting them mid-combat.

IN a best-case scenario, turning off Hints is the only setting you’ll need to adjust, but graphics settings and visuals like Field of View, etc., are worth dialing in to your preference.
