Unlocking the Sawblade Launcher in Dying Light 2 gives players access to one of the game’s most formidable ranged weapons. This guide will walk you through the steps to acquire this powerful tool for devastating combat.

Getting the Best Ranged Weapon in Dying Light 2: The Sawblade Launcher

Finding and crafting the Sawblade Launcher in *Dying Light: The Beast* is a game-changer. This wicked weapon slices through zombies and enemies with ease and can even take down boss monsters in no time. Seriously—it’s a must-have if you want to dominate the apocalypse.

The blueprint for this killer weapon is a bit sneaky, tucked away in a part of the map you might not reach until later. I hit level 9 before I stumbled upon it, but you can snag it much sooner if you know where to look—it’s in a level 6 zone.

Where to Find the Sawblade Launcher Blueprint

Open your map and start from the town hall. Head towards the northern edge of Old Town, then look east toward a section called *Pembroke* in The Vale, out in the farmlands. If you haven’t uncovered this area yet, just remember: Pembroke is directly east from the top of Old Town.

Once you see “THE VALE” on your map, Pembroke is just northeast of that. Look for a safe zone called “Silos.” Getting into this place can be tricky—keep an eye out for a rope hanging from the side of one of the silos to help you climb to the top.

Once inside, head to the workbench area within the safe zone, and there it is: the blueprint for the Sawblade Launcher.

Don’t forget to craft ammo for your launcher! Each crafting session nets you two pieces of sawblade ammo. Just be careful with your leather; it gets used up quickly across different recipes.

Finding and crafting the Sawblade Launcher in Dying Light: The Beast is a real turning point in Techland’s new zombie-stomping parkour horror. It’s by far the best ranged weapon in the game, dishing out instant death for lesser infected and human enemies by slicing right through them, and taking huge bites out of the health bars of even the biggest and deadliest boss monsters.

Plus, this is the zombie apocalypse. Of course you should be able to craft a weapon that fires spinning sawblades.

Thing is, the blueprint for the Sawblade Launcher isn’t easy to find in Dying Light: The Beast unless you know exactly where to look. It’s hidden way, way off in a section of the map you might not explore until late in the game. I was level 9 before I found it (and I finished the game at level 13), so I spent most of the game without it. But the Sawblade Launcher blueprint is in a level 6 area of the map, so you should be able to get your hands on it much earlier than I did.

Start by opening your map. From the town hall, look for the northern-most point of Old Town, where the town ends at the river. From there, look east, almost all the way to the edge of the map. You’re looking for a section of The Vale, called Pembroke, out in the farmlands.

If you haven’t uncovered this area of the map yet, don’t worry. Just know that Pembroke is directly east of the most northern point of Old Town. That’ll get you close.

Once you’ve uncovered the words “THE VALE” on your map, you’ll find Pembroke just to the northeast. When you can see the words “Pembroke” on the map, the spot you’re looking for is just northeast of the second “e” in “Pembroke.” It’s a safe zone called “Silos.” It’ll show on your radar when you’re close.

Silos is a tricky safehouse to unlock due to its verticality, but keep your eyes peeled for a dangling rope along the side of one of the silos about halfway up. That’s that point where you can swing and leap to a pipe that will let you climb to the top.

Once you’re inside the structure at the top, look in the workbench area of the safe zone: that’s where you’ll find the blueprint for the Sawblade Launcher.

To craft the Sawblade Launcher you’ll need the following:
– 100 scraps
– 10 blades
– 3 battery
– 1 gun part

You’ll also need to craft ammo for the Sawblade Launcher. Each time you craft, it gives you two units of sawblade ammo. Just be sure to carefully ration your leather: it’s a resource used in a lot of crafting recipes and I frequently run out.

Sawblade ammo recipe:
– 20 scraps
– 5 leather
– 3 blades
