Surviving the unforgiving world of Dying Light: The Beast is all about preparation. Whether you’re exploring Castor Woods by day or running from Volatiles at night, knowing where to rest, where to find loot, and how to unlock safes can make a huge difference. This guide covers every Safe Spot location, the codes for hidden safes, and essential beginner tips to help you stay alive.
Why You Need Safe Spots and Safes Zones
Safe Spots and Safe Zones are your lifelines in The Beast. These areas keep you safe from biters, provide a stash for your items, and usually include a bed to skip through the night. Some larger zones even feature workbenches for crafting and modding.
Safes, on the other hand, hide some of the most valuable rewards in the game—legendary medkits, rare gear, and cash. Each safe requires a unique combination, often found through puzzles or environmental clues.

Restoring Safe Spots and cracking safes not only secures safety but also boosts your gear and survival chances.
How to Unlock Safe Spots
Not every Safe Spot is ready to use right away. To claim them, you’ll usually need to:
- Restore power: Smaller towers often just require flipping a switch, while larger Safe Zones need fuse boxes repaired or cables connected.
- Clear out biters: Many locations are crawling with infected that must be eliminated first.
- Barricade entrances: Larger structures like churches or houses may need extra defense work before they’re secure.
Tip: Bring bandages, grenades, and lockpicks before attempting to restore one.

Beginner Tips to Survive Castor Woods
Securing Safe Spots is important, but survival in The Beast demands more. Here are key tips for newcomers:
- Master Parkour Early
Parkour isn’t just flashy—it’s your best survival tool. Learn to vault, wall-run, and climb efficiently to escape hordes or reach Safe Spots faster. - Scavenge and Craft Constantly
Collect everything—scrap, rags, wires—and craft items like bandages, grenades, and weapon mods. - Respect the Night
At night, tougher Infected like Volatiles roam. Stay in Safe Zones until you’re confident. Remember: nighttime grants double XP, but it’s high risk. - Use Stealth When Possible
Silent kills with bows or melee finishers keep you alive longer. Avoid loud gunfire, which attracts Virals. - Manage Stamina and Weapons
Conserve stamina for dodges and power swings. Weapons degrade quickly—repair sparingly and rotate often. - Unlock Skills Wisely
Prioritize Agility perks (like Active Landing), Power perks for combat, and Survival perks for stealth/driving. Later, Beast abilities add devastating power.
In Dying Light: The Beast, every Safe Spot you secure makes the world less terrifying, while every safe you crack grants powerful loot to fuel your survival. Treat Safe Spots as your anchors of safety, track down the safe codes for high-value rewards, and always keep moving. With preparation and smart play, you’ll turn from hunted survivor into the true Beast. Play Now!
