Dying Light: The Beast Rags: Where to Find Them
In brief
In Dying Light: The Beast, rags are essential resources for crafting healing items and improvised weapons. Discover the best spots to find them, including the Dark Zone at the Old Town clothing store, as well as the various strategies to get them quickly.
In Dying Light: The Beast, resource gathering is crucial to your survival. While rags are quite plentiful in the game, they are nonetheless particularly valuable for crafting, since with these simple materials you can craft healing items and improvised weapons like Molotov cocktails.

The best spots to find rags
In Dying Light: The Beast, finding rags is easy if you know where to look: rags can be found pretty much on every street corner, all over the game, but some locations are more suited to farming them than others.
The Dark Zone of the Vanity Store in the Old Town is without question the best spot to gather rags in large quantities. This area unlocks after completing the game's first introductory quests. Once you are free to explore Castor Woods, head north of the town hall to reach it.
Tip
To easily spot the Dark Zones full of rags, simply hover over their icon on the map. If you see a symbol showing white sheets, you'll know that a good amount of rags can be found inside.
Inside, focus your search on backpacks, suitcases, and any containers you come across. These items often contain rags and other useful materials.

Other ways to get rags
If searching Dark Zones doesn't appeal to you, or if you're looking to quickly get your hands on some rags, you can loot them off corpses.
After every fight, make it a habit to systematically search the bodies of zombies or bandits you've killed along the way, so you always have a good stock of rags on hand without having to specifically visit high-risk search locations.
In an emergency, you can also buy them yourself from the merchants available in the various settlements of Castor Woods. Notably at the town hall, right in the center of the Old Town district.
Above all, keep in mind that Dark Zones can be very dangerous early in the game. Make sure you're well equipped before entering. Stock up on the best weapons you can get early in the game, to defend yourself during zombie attacks.
