Voltage

Need help with the Voltage quest in Dying Light? Learn how to turn on substations, bypass enemies, and even glitch your way through the mission for 4500 Survivor XP.

Alright, so you've got a quest called 'Voltage' from Alfie. It's all about getting the power back on at the central station. You'll get 4500 Survivor XP and the Electricutter Blueprint for your trouble, which is pretty sweet.

First things first, you need to activate two substations before you can even think about the main central station. Don't stress, you don't have to do this at night – anytime works. Just know you'll need to lockpick both doors to get into the substations, but they're not too tricky.

Once you're ready for the central station, brace yourself. There are a TON of Biters in there, like 60 to 80 of them, plus a few Big guys. To get inside, don't go for the main gate. Instead, head to the left and look for a crack in the fence you can slip through. From there, you'll want to hop onto the green generators and use them to cross over to the power station. It's not a super difficult climb. Once you're in, flip the switch to turn on the power, and bam! You'll unlock a new Safe Zone right there.

Now, you might be thinking this whole thing has to be done at night, but there's a bit of a trick to it. If you want to avoid the nighttime nasties like Runners and Volatiles, start heading to the central station between 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM. This is your best window. Get onto those green generators and make your way over. Around 8:30 PM, you should be able to flip the switch. If it's not letting you, just hang tight until 9:00 PM, and it'll work. Then, just flip that switch, and you'll complete the quest.

Here's a heads-up about a weird glitch you might run into. Sometimes, when you try to leave the area you just came from, you might get stuck. It's like an invisible wall, and it can happen even if you die or restart your game. Don't panic, though! I've got you covered. When you're in the Safe Zone, look for the fence you can climb. Jump onto one of those green generators again, and this time, head west. You'll need to jump over a barbed wire fence to get out. You gotta be quick, though, because the whole area is electrified, and you'll start taking damage pretty fast.
