Dying Light 2 is all about mobility and speed. As you fight and run away from hordes of hungry zombies, especially at night, your stamina is what keeps you alive. In a game focused on parkouring, you need to know how to keep your stamina high to keep on moving with fluidity through the cityscapes. Follow this guide, and you’ll learn everything on increasing max stamina in Dying Light 2.

Although you can wear specific equipment and gears that decrease stamina consumption and increase regeneration, they are sometimes not enough. Mainly because you might need to switch gears for other buffs and attributes. To improve your stamina limits, you will need Inhibitors, which are found all over the map and what we will be focusing on.

Finding Inhibitors to increase Max Stamina in Dying Light 2

Inhibitors are abandoned GRE facilities, GRE anomaly locations, and GRE containers. Furthermore, they can also be found in safes. But the most common places are the GRE locations.

After getting the Biomarker from one of the main story quests, it notifies you whenever you’re near a GRE container. The Biomarker makes a sound, and an icon pops up to let you know that you are near a GRE container. Open them, and you will receive Inhibitors. Three of them are needed to upgrade either health or stamina. Since you need to move a lot, we suggest focusing on stamina more. Upgrade from the Skills tab, and you’ll see an upgrade available option.

You will also come across GRE facilities, which contain multiple Inhibitors. But be on your guard as places will be teeming with zombies. If you manage to handle them, you can find many Inhibitors lying around. A quick tip- GRE facilities have lesser Infecteds during the night, so you can use stealth to kill them without much trouble.

The most challenging way of obtaining an Inhibitor is through killing GRE Anomaly. They are powerful and fast Infected types that can deal severe melee and ranged damage. Use your surroundings to take them down. Additionally, Anomalies can be confronted during the night, so prepare accordingly and watch out for other infecteds running towards you. But defeat them, and you can get your hands on some beautiful Inhibitors.

Unlocking metro stations also give you Inhibitors to increase max stamina in Dying Light 2.

Inhibitor Locations for increasing Max Stamina in Dying Light 2

There are 126 Inhibitors to find, divided across 13 locations. If you are a perfectionist, you can get each one, but it will require some hard work.

Or else, you won’t survive for too long.
