Dying Light 2 Campfire Encounter: How To Find Them
The Dying Light 2 campfires can be found all across the rooftops of Villedor, both in the old city and the Central Loop. The safety of the rooftops provides an opportunity for survivors to gather around and experience some reprieve from the infected. They are often found close to windmills and other safehouses, and when you are close to one, they are marked by a book icon.
Sometimes you can also find the remains of campfires, as infected who have managed to navigate to the roofs prey on corpses.

Dying Light 2 Campfire Encounter: What Are They For?
There's only one real purpose for an encounter at a campfire, as they serve to provide lore to the players and immerse you into the world of Villedor's survivors. There are no challenges associated with them, but they do increase your health when you sit down at one. They mainly focus on informing you about the world you're playing in. When you sit down at one of these campfires, an NPC will take over the conversation and tell their story to the group.
The narratives that unfold can range from hopeful stories to tales of horror and loss, and while they serve no connection to the larger plot or any of the main characters, they're still interesting additions. If you're easily bored while idle or hate doing something without a reward, the campfires may not be for you, but if you're looking to expand your understanding of Dying Light's world - then stay awhile and listen.
That's our primer on the Dying Light 2 campfire encounters, including where you can typically find them, and what they consist of.
