The Big Bang Thesis
| "Jaffar and Kurt have a plan to improve the dynamite I recovered. They want me to come to Jaffar's workshop." Quest introduction
|
The Big Bang Thesis is a side quest available in Dying Light.[1]
Objectives
- Get to Jaffar's place
- Talk to Kurt
- Kurt is going to assemble an anti-personnel bomb, by combining the dynamite I brought with firecrackers and a load of shrapnel. But first he needs a battery from a truck that he can use for a casing.
- Find the truck battery
- Deliver the truck battery to Kurt
- I delivered the battery to Kurt. Now he needs metal scraps, power cables and sugar to help him build a bomb.
- Gather materials for the bomb
- Turn in metal parts
- Turn in household supplies
- Turn in power cables
- Kurt has everything he needs. It shouldn't take long for him to assemble the bomb.
- Wait until Kurt prepares the bomb
- Get back to Kurt
- There's a barricaded tunnel nearby. It's full of volatiles during the day, but at night it should be pretty clear. Sounds like a good place to test a bomb.
- Plant the bomb in the tunnel at night
- Leave the tunnel and wait for the explosion
- Activate the bomb
- Escape from the tunnel
- Kurt's bomb destroyed the nest and blew out the barricade. The tunnel is now passable. Also, Kurt gave me a blueprint, so I can make my own bombs.
- Talk to Kurt
Walkthrough
| "Glad you made it. Go see Kurt, he'll explain everything." Jaffar to Kyle Crane
|
Head for Jaffar's place and speak to Jaffar who will direct Crane to Kurt. Go see Kurt and talk to him. Kurt needs a truck's battery from the overpass to create an effective bomb. Go to the overpass and collect it.
Return to Kurt with the overpass. He will request for some additional items, namely six Household Supplies, six Metal Parts, and a Power Cable. Return to Kurt after obtaining the items. He will be grateful and tell Crane that he'll need some time to create the bomb. When he's done, he will radio Crane. Return to him.
In order to test the bomb, Kurt recommends blowing up a barricaded tunnel which is used by volatiles. While he recommends going there at night, the volatiles are stuck in a bottleneck and can also easily be dispatched during the day by using Firearms and a UV Flashlight. Regardless of which option is chosen take the bomb and enter the tunnel. Head to the back where a quarantine wall is located, plant the bomb there and stand clear.
As the bomb does not detonate, Crane contacts Kurt, who gives some information about how to arm the bomb. Return to the bomb and activate it and stand clear again. This time it does detonate, opening the tunnel up and clearing the nest. Return to Kurt to get the blueprint for his bombs and complete the quest.
