The lazy survivor’s guide to farming survivor experience

Overview

Want that grappling rope real bad? Always place second when racing for supplies? Just want to go ONE night without being seen by the infected? Let me help you with that…

Optional side: Combat experience

———————–ATTENTION: this guide is only useful if you can still get supply drops——————–

This section talks about a nice area to farm combat experience, skip to the Main Meat if you want to know the real reason this guide exists.

The Infamy bridge is both an imposing sight and a dangerous location, especially to a new player. However, it can be an excellent place to farm combat experience during the day and night. There is a relatively safe location on a scaffold where the undead have a hard time climbing over and sometimes fall right off the side of the bridge. Turns out, the undead make poor swimmers.[previewimg=2842619;sizeFull,floatLeft;2015-02-19_00002.jpg][/previewimg][/previewimg] I’ve found that farming combat experience up on the bridge is a great way to pass the time, just dive off the side of the bridge into the water when night comes for a nice little 200xp agility boost. Now then, on to the real meat of this little guide

The Main Meat

Under the Infamy Bridge, there is a small area that doesn’t touch the mainland.
Bonus: there is a safehouse that you can reach by climbing the inside of the pylon behind the camp

No zed can reach this area, meaning that you can walk away from your game and grab a snack or drink without fear of being attacked. The next step is to wait until after nightfall.

After a few minutes, you should hear the sound of the supply plane approaching. As long as you are on the man-made island under the bridge, the supply drop will fall into the water nearby.

The drop happens either where it did for me in this photo, or where I’ve placed the marker on the map.

Because the drop always lands in the water, the zombies can’t go anywhere near it. Just go off for a refreshing swim to reach the supply drop.

Yarrr, precious underwater booty!

Doing this gives you a huge experience boost for three things:
1) Surviving the night.
2) Gathering a supply drop.
3) Not being detected (as long as you don’t run off into the mainland like suicidal fast food).

Final Thoughts

Thanks for giving my guide a read. Since I’m new to making guides, feedback is appreciated.

Stay awesome and as always in Dying Light:
Good night, and good luck.
