If you want to get The Needle, a legendary SMG in Dying Light: The Beast, you can grab it pretty early in the game. Head over to the forest area inside the National Park. Look for the Mountain Shelter Tower on your map, just below it, there’s a ranger station, but it’s locked at first.
To get inside, go around the station until you find a small shed with a power switch. That’s where you will need to go. Climb the roof of the shed and you will find a lid to go inside. Drop down inside the shed. Now, unlock the door, and turn on the generator to start things up.
You will get a power cord, and the cable route isn’t very long, you will just need to climb out through the roof to continue. Be ready though, once you activate the power, it will open the ranger station’s shutter, and a bunch of zombies will come rushing out. Take them down quickly, then plug the cord into its slot.
Inside the station, there’s a door you will have to lockpick. Once you are inside, you will see The Needle SMG right on the table.

Your main goal will be to restore power to the facility and deal with the infected found around the area.
The Silos Safe Zone is at the top of the large silo structures. You can reach it by carefully parkouring your way up the outside. Don’t miss the rope swing, and make sure to unlock both ladders on the way up, they will save you time if you fall.
Once you’re at the top, take out any zombies. After that, go back down to where you first started climbing. That’s where the circuit box is. Carefully jump down while holding the cable, making sure the wire stays straight and doesn’t get too long.
Once the power is back on and the area is clear, look for a hidden vent. Crawl through it, and you will find a workbench with the Sawblade Launcher blueprint there.
