13: Firebug | Side quests - The Slums Dying Light Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
How to unlock: Meet with Zaid in the safe zone (number 10a on the map).
Difficulty level: high
Reward: 5000 experience, Blueprint (Zaid's Flares)
You will find Zaid in one of the safe zones (number 10a on the map) and during the conversation, you will learn about the items needed to produce UV flares. Head to the warehouse to look for them (number 10b on the map) and use climbing to get to the roof. Be careful here, because you will encounter a human enemy. Moreover, after you attack him, more of them will appear. Use Molotov Cocktails or throwing weapons to eliminate them (for example starts or hatchets), because you can be easily circled in melee combat. The Bandit with the gun will stay inside the warehouse and you have to deal with him too. You can try to use ranged attacks or quickly jump inside and approach him as fast as you can. After the fight, take the Police Rifle.
You have to collect three items from the warehouse. First, locate the Zinc Powder. Unfortunately, there are a lot of zombies here and eliminating some of them will be unavoidable. Try to aim at the explosive barrels and use explosives, because you will be also fighting some Runners. Eliminate the monsters one by one so that you are not circled by a large group. After initially securing the warehouse, start opening the wagons. Jump inside each wagon and look for blue buckets with zinc.
After collecting two buckets of Zinc Powder, return to the balconies above. Locate the broken part, shown in the picture above. Carefully jump down to a small room. Start opening the door to another rooms and kill the zombies located there. You will find the Turpentine in the last room. When you have all the ingredients, return to Zaid and you will receive a Blueprint (Zaid's Flares).
