Finding Dying Light 2 inhibitors is the fastest way to level up your Aiden as every three you find lets you boost his Health or Stamina. Levelling these provides their own benefits, but you'll also unlock more Dying Light 2 combat and parkour skills and abilities. This will obviously help you out a lot, particularly early on, so you might want to get as many Inhibitors as you possibly can by searching for the special GRE crates they come in. 

We've got a bunch of Dying Light 2 Inhibitor locations to help you get things moving. Obviously this isn't every single one in the game, but there are 30 locations here for you check out, netting nearly 60 inhibitors which will let you level up 20 times.

How to get more Dying Light 2 Inhibitors

There are Dying Light 2 Inhibitors scattered all over the map inside special blue and white GRE crates. You'll know when you're nearby as your GRE key will tell you when you're within 50 meters. It will also, helpfully, display the distance, so by moving around you can zero in as the number goes up or down. 

There are five main sources where you can find Inhibitors in Dying Light 2, which we've detailed below. You can also occasionally find them inside safes, but it's not the most frequent or easiest option. You'll need Dying Light 2 safe codes to open those.

  • GRE facility: You can't miss these large buildings covered in green sheeting. The entrance is always on the roof and you can only get in at night, as they're overrun with infected. There are always four inhibitors to find over several floors and usually a big fight at the end to get out. 
  • GRE anomaly: These are basically boss fights with special infecteds. Again, you can only access them at night. You only have to kill the main anomaly boss, so ignore the mobs until that's done. When they're dead a GRE trailer will open, letting you claim two inhibitors. 
  • Metro stations: There are Metro stations all over the map that function as fast travel points once you unlock them. You'll also get a single inhibitor as a reward.  
  • GRE crates: You'll occasionally find random GRE crates dotted around the city that will usually get you a single inhibitor. They can be in buildings, underwater, in GRE trailers and many other locations. 
  • Missions: Doing missions won't earn you inhibitors as such, but they will often walk you past GRE crates to make sure you always find some eventually.
