Gas Mask Man

"Infected broke into the fishing village. Musa says the gate was sabotaged by someone in a gas mask, who lives outside of the village. These people are paying Rais for protection, and since I'm one of Rais's apes now, I guess I'd better talk to this "Gas Mask Man"."

Quest introduction

Gas Mask Man is a side quest available in Dying Light.^[1]

Objectives

Find Gas Mask Man and talk to him

Gas Mask Man is clearly unhinged, but he swears it was someone else who sabotaged the gate. He'll tell me what he saw if I can recover his "treasure bag", which fell in the lake.

Recover Gas Mask Man's treasure bag

Bring the bag to Gas Mask Man

Gas Mask Man spotted one of the fishermen sabotaging the gate while wearing a gas mask. He couldn't identify him, but whoever he was he must have a key for getting in and out of the village. The guards will know who has such a key.

Talk to the guard

Three people have a gate key: Tom, Gursel and Musa. I should search their huts for evidence.

Search Tom's house

Search Musa's house

Search Gursel's house

Gursel sabotaged the fence. I want to know why. I'm going to confront him before telling the others.

Talk to Gursel

Gursel thought allowing Infected to break in would show the villagers that they're vulnerable and in need of Rais's protection. It seems Rais has a way of making good people make bad decisions.

Talk to Musa

Rewards

5 000 survivor points
Champion

Walkthrough

Starting the quest

Talking to Musa at Fisherman's Village will start this quest. Musa tells Kyle Crane someone saw the Gas Mask Man cut the lock on the gate open to allow infected in.

Continuation

In order to continue, Kyle has to go talk to Shakur (who's out of town holed up next to a river) and he tells Kyle that someone was disguised as Shakur, and Shakur didn't really do it. However, Shakur doesn't reveal who the person disguised as Shakur was unless Crane gets Shakur's bag of valuables found at the bottom of the nearby river. Swim across the bottom of the river until the search area turns smaller. You can find a boat stuck in the water, on the bottom of the river, a little way south of the boat, the bag can be found. Once Kyle throws over the bag to Shakur, he tells Kyle that he doesn't exactly know who did opened the gate, but it was one of the fishermen residing in the village.

Wrapping it up

Crane: "How many people have keys to open the gate?"
Guard: "Just a few; Tom, Gursel, or Musa."
Crane: "Thanks."

Talking to a guard next to the village main gate reveals that only three people have keys to open the gate. Crane is now tasked with searching the huts of Tom, Musa and Gursel for a gas mask. The mask is located on a washbasin in Gursel's hut. After finding the gas mask, you have to go talk to Gursel. After talking to him, going over and talking to Musa completes the quest and you are rewarded with the exceptional Champion weapon upgrade.

Notes

When you first talk to Shakur, a new safe zone is opened up for you. That safe zone will become obsolete and will no longer be safe from enemies upon completion of the quest, with Shakur having abandoned the place and there are no other survivors.
