Farming exotic weapons and maximizing your Legend levels can be a tedious process in Dying Light 2, but with the right strategies, you can streamline the process and become an unstoppable force. This guide will break down the most efficient way to farm GRE aberrations, including key locations, weapon choices, and the best techniques to optimize your gains.

Unlocking GRE Aberration Fights

Before you can start farming, you need to unlock GRE aberration battles:

• Defeat the GRE anomaly in an area.
• Return to the arena and interact with the poster to initiate the boss battle.

Once this is set up, you can repeatedly farm the arena for loot and XP.

Essential Preparation: Carnage Hall Weapons

One of the most crucial aspects of this farming method is obtaining high-DPS weapons from Carnage Hall that can one-shot enemies. Many players struggle to get these weapons, but the method is simple:

1. Go to Carnage Hall and start a story mission – It must be a story mission, not a boss fight or parkour challenge.
2. Find a weapon in the mission – In A KN in Harran, for example, you can locate a Military Machete.
3. Cancel the mission just before exiting – But before doing so, pick up the weapon. This ensures it stays permanently in your inventory.

Repeat this process as needed to stockpile powerful weapons that will make farming significantly easier.

Farming Location #1: Central Loop

The first GRE aberration to farm is located in the Central Loop. This location is preferable due to the presence of an additional Demolisher, which provides a steady supply of Unique Infected Trophies.

Why This Location?

• The anomaly jumps directly toward you, making it easy to kill quickly.
• No need to chase the boss around the arena.
• Each kill takes 15–18 seconds, resulting in 200 Pilgrim Crates per hour.
• You can expect around 10 exotic weapons per hour (with drops every 20 crates or so).

While effective, this method isn’t the absolute best. If you’re looking for an even better way to farm, the Old Villedor location provides faster results.

Farming Location #2: Old Villedor (Fastest Method)

The best GRE aberration farm is located in Old Villedor, where you can eliminate the boss using a grappling hook glitch.

How the Grappling Hook Strategy Works

1. Max out your grappling hook upgrade – This allows you to grapple enemies.
2. Lure the boss near a specific tree stump – This is crucial for executing the trick.
3. Jump and grapple at the right moment – When reaching the stump, quickly grapple the boss to defeat it instantly.

While this glitch doesn’t work 100% of the time, you still have Carnage Hall weapons to fall back on, ensuring the fight remains easy.

Why This Location?

• Bosses die in 8 seconds with the grappling trick.
• Results in 450 Pilgrim Crates per hour.
• Expect 20–30 exotic weapons per hour if you’re lucky.
• Poisonous Goons in the area drop 5 rare infected trophies each, which are harder to farm than unique ones.

Legend Level XP Farming

In addition to farming weapons, GRE aberration fights offer substantial Legend XP:

• Each defeated anomaly grants 6,000 Legend XP.
• This adds up to 2.7 million Legend XP per hour.
• This method can quickly max out your Legend levels with minimal effort.

Exotic Weapon Breakdown

After several hours of farming, you’ll accumulate a large collection of exotic weapons. These weapons deal significantly more damage than legendary weapons but come with a downside:

• Higher damage output compared to legendary weapons.
• Lower durability, meaning you’ll need to repair them more frequently.

However, given their sheer power, the extra repairs are a small price to pay for having some of the best weapons in the game.

Final Thoughts

By using these farming methods, you can efficiently acquire exotic weapons, Pilgrim Crates, and Legend XP without the usual grind. Whether using the Central Loop for a consistent farm or Old Villedor for the fastest kills, this guide provides the best strategies for maximizing your rewards.

So grab your Carnage Hall weapons, head to a GRE anomaly, and start farming your way to becoming a Dying Light 2 legend!
