UV Flashlight Guide

In the world of Dying Light 2 Stay Human the most dangerous Infected enemies need to stay away from the sun and UV lamps which will cause them to burn and die if that light shines on them. It is because of this that safe zones constantly have UV lamps switched on. This means an essential tool you will want to get hold of as soon as possible is the UV Flashlight which you can take with you when you leave a safe zone and go exploring Villedor and the Central Loop. This UV Flashlight Guide tells you how to get it and also how to upgrade it.

How to Unlock the UV Flashlight

The UV Flashlight is considered the best defensive tool in Dying Light 2 Stay Human as it is capable of keeping Volities, the most dangerous enemies in the game at bay. Volitiles are extremely fast and one hit from them will kill Aiden. You will not be able to equip the UV Flashlight to fend these creatures off until the 'Welcome On Board' story mission which can takes place 12-15 hours into the game. Aiden will receive the UV Flashlight from Meyer when he is onboard a ship called 'The Missy' which is the Peacekeepers HQ and is located in The Wharf area.
