All Trap Locations in Dying Light

Traps in Dying Light serve as critical defensive and offensive tools that can mean the difference between survival and becoming zombie fodder. These environmental hazards and player-deployable devices are scattered throughout Harran, offering strategic advantages when you know where to find them.

The Dying Light Interactive Map filters all trap locations to help you plan efficient routes for gathering these survival tools. Whether you’re preparing for nighttime encounters or need to clear infected zones, having trap locations marked saves valuable daylight hours that would otherwise be spent searching blindly.

What Traps Are Used For

Traps provide essential crowd control and area denial capabilities against both regular infected and volatile threats during your survival journey.

• Clear infected nests and quarantine zones without direct confrontation
• Create safe corridors through heavily populated zombie areas
• Defend safe houses and supply drops from incoming hordes
• Eliminate high-value targets like volatiles with reduced risk
• Support co-op teammates by controlling battlefield positioning

Traps Types

The map categorizes traps into three distinct types, each serving different tactical purposes in Harran’s infected landscape.

Light Trap

Light traps use UV illumination to damage and disorient volatiles and other light-sensitive infected. These devices prove most valuable during night operations when volatiles become active. Position them strategically at chokepoints or escape routes to create temporary safe zones during volatile encounters.

Car Trap

Car traps involve rigged vehicles that explode when triggered by nearby infected movement. These provide massive area damage capable of clearing entire groups of zombies at once. The explosive radius makes them perfect for clearing quarantine zones or creating diversions during supply runs.

Fence Traps

Fence traps deliver electrical damage to any infected that make contact with electrified barriers. These create persistent area denial, making them ideal for protecting safe house approaches or blocking common infected pathways. The continuous damage over time helps thin out pursuing hordes without requiring direct engagement.

How to Use the Map Efficiently

Trap hunting requires careful timing and route planning to maximize collection efficiency while minimizing exposure to infected threats.

• Target trap clusters in the Slums first before moving to Old Town for better early-game access
• Plan trap collection routes that connect multiple safe houses for quick resupply and rest
• Focus on rooftop pathways between trap locations to avoid ground-level infected encounters
• Collect traps during daylight hours when volatiles are dormant and visibility is optimal
• Prioritize fence traps near your primary base locations for ongoing defensive value
• Coordinate with co-op partners to cover multiple trap locations simultaneously for faster collection

Each trap type offers distinct advantages depending on your current survival needs and tactical situation.

Tips for Traps Hunting

• Carry lockpicks when hunting traps as many locations require breaking into secured areas
• Check industrial areas and construction sites where maintenance equipment naturally contains trap components
• Look for electrical panels and generator rooms in apartment buildings for fence trap materials
• Scavenge car trap components from abandoned vehicles in parking areas and street intersections
• Combine trap collection with other supply runs to maximize efficiency of dangerous area visits
• Save collected traps for planned assaults on volatile nests rather than using them immediately
