Where to Find Guns in Dying Light: 1 Minute to Discover the Best Locations for Weapons

In "Dying Light," firearms are a coveted resource that can significantly impact your survival and combat strategy. Guns are not commonly found in the early stages of the game; as a result, players must rely on melee weapons initially. As you progress, particularly after reaching certain story milestones and entering new zones like Old Town, you'll start encountering enemies armed with guns—and this is when you can start acquiring them for yourself. The most reliable methods for finding guns include looting bodies of human enemies (especially Rais’s men and police officers), raiding police vans and military convoys, and completing side quests that reward you with firearms. Traders in safe zones might also offer guns for sale once you’ve advanced further in the game. The rarity and strength of guns increase as you level up and progress through the main story, so patience is key.

Tips 1:

As a designer, I always recommend planning your inventory just like you would organize a well-designed space—ensure you have the right mix of tools for every scenario. Think about strategically allocating your limited gun ammo for tough enemies, while relying on more sustainable (and silent) melee weapons for everyday encounters. And if you're inspired by the resourceful, adaptive layouts in a post-apocalyptic game, try exploring home designer tools—maybe your next safe zone IRL will be just as functional and stylish!
