Navigating the world of Dying Light: The Beast is technically easier than ever. You can drive trucks now. But like any vehicle, these trucks need fuel, and where are you going to find the stuff in the zombie apocalypse? Well, here’s how.
How to find fuel for trucks in Dying Light: The Beast
Your primary source of Fuel in Dying Light: The Beast will be from derelict cars scattered about the world. A good rule of thumb is, if it isn’t a bright green truck with Park Ranger on the side and looks like a family sedan, you can get fuel from it.
To siphon fuel, approach the car and find the gas cap. Then, interact with the gas cap when the Search prompt appears. This interaction follows the same rules as looting a zombie or human corpse. You will sometimes get a single unit of Fuel, other times you get nothing.
You can also get fuel from the loot zombies carrying large camping backpacks and as a random reward found around the world. It’s relatively rare to find Fuel anywhere besides cars, but it does happen.
How to add fuel to trucks
Each truck starts with about two pips of fuel. In practice, that allows about five minutes of travel without the perk that improves fuel economy. To add fuel to a truck, go to its gas cap and interact with it.
A unit of fuel restores around two additional fuel pips to a maximum of six. Early on, you’ll usually only want to spend one fuel at a time, as much of your time will be spent going from one close-by point of interest to another. Your fuel supplies will also be limited.
By the mid-game, you’ll almost always want to have a full tank, given the size of the map. Even with the fuel economy perk, trucks run through gas like a sieve, so it’s good practice to loot a few cars whenever you find them.
