Learn how to maximize your Survivor XP in Dying Light by completing missions, utilizing airdrop exploits, and smart resource management. Get the most out of your playthrough!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Gain XP primarily through main missions, side missions, giving airdrops to the quartermaster, and random encounters. Prioritize completing all available missions before progressing to ensure you are adequately prepared for future challenges.
  2. 2
    Exploit a glitch for infinite AIRDROP CRATES: After completing the 'Cease and Desist' mission, Erol leaves 3 Airdrop Crates on the roof. Collect them, switch the game to the next day (morning), and return to collect them again. Each Airdrop given to the Quartermaster yields 10,500 SURVIVOR XP, allowing for rapid leveling.
  3. 3
    When approaching an AIRDROP with a GUN, you can point it at the guards and slowly approach the crate to collect its contents without fighting. Be cautious, as staying too long will provoke an attack.
  4. 4
    Unlock all SAFE ZONES early in the game. This is crucial for quickly advancing time to morning if you are far from the Tower.
  5. 5
    Always visit stores and buy parts, especially unique THROWING WEAPONS that cannot be obtained elsewhere except from fallen enemies.
  6. 6
    Break down useless weapons for METAL PARTS if you cannot reach a shop to sell them.
  7. 7
    Carry plenty of lockpicks. Locked chests, doors, and trunks can contain valuable items, but be aware of nearby zombies while picking locks.
  8. 8
    Visit your QUARTERMASTER at the start of each new day for free items.
Tips
  • Carefully choose skills for the SURVIVOR TREE, considering your desired build.
  • Searching for items and parts is necessary, especially in the early game.
  • Always break down unwanted weapons for Metal Parts if selling them at a shop isn't feasible.
  • Stock up on lockpicks to access valuable loot from locked containers.
  • Prioritize unlocking all Safe Zones for convenient time advancement.
  • Regularly check in with your Quartermaster for daily freebies.
