The Needle Legendary Blueprint Location
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.

This is a secret area, so you need to pass through the wallto reach it. Navigate through the corridors of the secret area to find a pixeleted wall.
Break the pixeleted wall with your hammer, to make you way. You will find many zombies inside. Kill them and move forward. Here, you will find a white door.

Hand Grenades are one of the best tools to have on you while fighting through the zombie chaos. Hand Grenades are unlocked by default, so you get access to them right from the start. It’s perfect for clearing out groups or escaping when things get messy.
Bandage Legendary Blueprint Location
Bandages are one of the first things you get in Dying Light: The Beast. Bandages are unlocked by default. They are worth using your materials on, especially when it comes to upgrades.
The Elite Legendary Pistol Location
You can find The Elite, a powerful Legendary Pistol, early in the game inside a locked military convoy on a bridge west of the Monastery Safe Zone. This Safe Zone is unlocked right at the start. To get there, head to the west edge of the hill near the Monastery, you will spot a broken bridge with some old train cars on it. Once you’re on the bridge, be ready to fight off the zombies.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Find the open train car on the west end of the bridge and hit the green button to turn on the generator.
- Grab the power cable next to it and drag it all the way east, to the locked bunker car.
- You will need to pick the lock to open the door. Inside, plug the cable into the power point.
Now, to get into the room where The Elite is stored, you need a keycard. Take out the zombies in military outfits around the area in the container. Loot a card from them, head back to the bunker car, and use it on the card reader. Inside the locked room, The Elite will be on a shelf to your right, along with some pistol ammo. Also grab the Old World Wine on the left.
Sawblade Launcher Legendary Blueprint Location
The crafting blueprint for the Sawblade Launcher is hidden inside the Silos Safe Zone, which you will find in the Farmlands region. You can miss this legendary weapon because the game doesn’t clearly point out where to find it. 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.
