Dying Light: The Beast is filled with hidden weapons, and some of the most exciting finds are legendary-tier gear. From iconic gaming references to inventive designs, these items stand out both in power and style. This guide rounds up the best Dying Light The Beast legendaries and explains how to get them.
Gordon’s Crowbar in Farmlands
One of the earliest legendaries players can grab is Gordon’s crowbar, a nod to a familiar gaming scientist. It’s a one-handed blunt weapon with several strong perks: stamina damage, bonus headshot damage, and increased effectiveness against both humans and infected.
The downside is that the crowbar cannot be modified, but it comes with a legendary blueprint that does not require leveling. It’s found in the farmland area, where climbing the tallest silo rewards the blueprint. This makes it accessible from the start of the game, making it a reliable first pickup.
Elite Pistol and Needle SMG in National Park
The national park region hides multiple weapons close together. The Elite Legendary Pistol is discovered on a bridge with train cars, requiring generator activation, cable placement, and keycard use. Though ammo is scarce, the pistol is a great backup option.
Nearby is a house with a roller door marked by a Walking Dead-style message. Powering the door leads to the Needle, a legendary SMG. Fast-firing and stylish, it’s one of the strongest ranged weapons. Clearing the infected and lockpicking the back room grants access to it.
Boomerang Axe and Hunting Lodge Find
Among the most unique weapons in Dying Light: The Beast is the boomerang axe. Its inscription ensures it returns when thrown, letting it act like a reusable projectile. The only drawback is low durability and the fact that it cannot be repaired. However, the blueprint allows continuous upgrading to legendary tier.
Not far from the Needle house is a hunting lodge where another one-handed axe can be found. Using a grapple hook or careful climbing leads to a balcony that hides this weapon. While not as flashy as the boomerang axe, it’s still a strong addition to any arsenal.
Strauss & Broada Machete in Industrial Zone
For players who thrive at night, the Strauss & Broada machete is a standout choice. It deals extra nighttime damage, has high dismemberment chances, and includes mod slots for customization. Like the axe, it is irreparable but comes with a blueprint for further crafting.
It’s hidden on the roof of the Nate Market dark zone. Unlocking the cabinet requires an unusual step — knocking repeatedly until it finally opens. Once inside, players receive both the machete and its blueprint.
Sawblade Launcher in Farmlands
The sawblade launcher is a deadly ranged option that slices through multiple infected in a line. It makes far less noise than guns, providing a stealthy but devastating alternative. Though ammo is costly to craft, the weapon comes with its own ammo recipe once built.
It’s located at the farmland silos safe zone. Activating power by running cables and clearing infected unlocks the safe zone and grants the blueprint. Despite the effort required, the reward is one of the most useful ranged legendaries in the game.
