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 available right away. To secure them, you may need to:
- Restore power – repair fuse boxes or connect cables
- Clear biters – defeat infected inside the area
- Barricade entrances – especially for larger houses or churches
Tip: Carry 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.
Every Safe Spot you unlock reduces danger, while every safe you crack grants rare loot. Focus on securing zones early, track down safes for powerful rewards, and use parkour and crafting to stay ahead of the infected. With preparation and smart play, you’ll transform from hunted survivor into the true Beast. Play Now!
