Game world | Enemies Dying Light Guide

Frequently watch at the map, where many useful items are marked

As you probably know, Dying Light is set in fictional city of Harran. The game allows you to freely explore the streets of this city. Two large regions of the city are available during playing. The game begins in the slums and as you progress in the storyline the Old City becomes available (this takes place in The Saviors main quest). Each of those locations you can thoroughly explore, although the game won't allow you to walk outside a specific area of the map. The locations mentioned are surrounded by various fences and other impenetrable barriers. Additionally, if you decide to jump into the water, after swimming too far away from the land you will be teleported to the closest safe zone.

In moving through those districts of Harran map of the region can be useful. You will find spots where missions begins, potential safe zones and regions in which herbals used in crafting can found marked on that map. Some parts of the map are visible since beginning of the game, other are clouded and to see them you must first personally get to that place.

Note - In some additional smaller locations (like explored quarantine areas, severs or towers in which survivors hide) you can't use the "large" map, only the mini-map placed in the corner of the screen. Luckily, those areas are so small that you shouldn't be lost in them.

Note - You can travel around the main districts of Harran. I recommend that you postpone traveling until you have completed the Broadcast main quest. It is then that you discover a shortcut through the sewers, thanks to which you will not have to lose your time avoiding zombies and climbing (these are necessary, while traveling through the main parts of the sewers).
