One of the best quality-of-life features in any open-world game is fast travel—the ability to instantly teleport across vast expanses at the touch of a button. With a large map like the one in *Dying Light: The Beast*, a fast travel system would certainly be a welcome mechanic. But does the game actually have one?
### Does *Dying Light: The Beast* Have Fast Travel?
Strictly speaking, no. *Dying Light: The Beast* does not include a traditional fast travel system. You cannot simply click on any location on the map and teleport there—whether it’s Safe Zones, cleared objectives, or any other points of interest.
### Alternatives to Fast Travel
In place of a conventional fast travel mechanic, *Dying Light: The Beast* offers a few alternatives to help you get around more efficiently.
#### 1. Manageable Map Size
While Castor Woods is a large location, it’s not so vast that you can’t reach almost any destination within two or three minutes on foot. You will need to avoid zombies and combat encounters while traveling, but during my review playthrough, nothing ever felt too far away.
#### 2. Vehicles
One of the newer additions to the series is the inclusion of vehicles. The green Park Ranger and black Baron trucks allow you to travel more quickly from place to place. When driving, it’s best to stick to roads and major thoroughfares, and try to avoid causing too much damage to your vehicle.
As long as you have a relatively straight route to your destination, driving is almost always faster than running. However, if you’re headed into the wilds of Castor Woods, traveling on foot is usually more practical.
#### 3. Dash Skill
Unlocking the Dash Skill boosts your running speed significantly, though it consumes stamina. Learning to dodge zombie attacks and manage your stamina bar effectively can reduce your run time from point A to point B by about 20%.
### Final Thoughts
While *Dying Light: The Beast* may not have a fast travel system as you might expect, it provides several other ways to move around quickly—just not instantaneously. Between the manageable map size, vehicles, and upgraded running abilities, you have multiple options to navigate the game world efficiently.
