Dying Light – Hothead Joe Locations & 6th Anniversary Week 1 Guide

Hothead Joe Locations (Slums)

Location 1/2

1st location is near the train shed with 2 toads, 1 goon and multiple gas tanks. 
 
 
 
You can shoot Joe from the yellow railway wagon. Just make sure that you stay on the right side of the wagon if you wish to be out of toads’ range. The lower wagon next to the yellow one isn’t as safe since Joe can sometimes hit you and infected can easily climb on it. 
You can select Stuffed Turtle or Underground Parking as your active quest and exit and re-enter the game to farm this location. 
This location is easier to farm compared to the next location since there are fewer zombies nearby. 
 

Location 2/2

2nd location is on the road bridge with lots of zombies. 
 
 
 
I don’t suggest staying on top of cars if you are thinking of camping. Instead go to the structure that has two signboards and shoot from there. 
You can select Bright Mountain Tunnel as your active quest and exit and re-enter the game to farm this location. 
 
 
 

Hothead Joe Locations (Old Town)

Location 1/2

is near the left bottom corner of the map, next to the boltor feeding ground. 
 
 
 
You can shoot him from the white van but be warned that he can still hit you if he gets too close so don’t hesitate to move a little. 
You can select New Antalya Apartments as your active quest and exit and re-enter the game to farm this location. 
This location is easier to farm compared to the next location since there are fewer zombies nearby. 
 

Location 2/2

2nd location is on a bridge near the twin towers. 
 
 
 
There is a hot dog stand next to the goon. This is a safe place to shoot from as virals can’t climb it and the goon can’t attack you. 
You can select Three Moons Restaurant as your active quest and exit and re-enter the game to farm this location. 
While this place looks empty, it can get crowded fast if you make noise.

Hothead Joe Loot Table

This section is purely based on my observations and i will update it as the sample space gets larger to give more accurate values. I haven’t noticed the difficulty having any effect on this loot table. 
 
Amount of times killed: 30 
Hothead Joe’s Pack dropped: 15 (50%) 
Rare (blue) weapons dropped: 8 (27%) 
Exceptional (purple) weapons dropped: 4 (13%) 
Legendary (orange) weapons dropped: 3 (10%) 
 
You also always get a common (white) HyperArgument hammer from him. 
You get a nearly impossible to find (gold) HyperArgument hammer for completing his bounty. 
 
Hothead Joe’s Pack includes 5 GREcipe, 1 King mod, 3 Jewel Casket and 3 Super Molotoves. 
GREcipe gives +25% health, infinite stamina, roughly +50% increase in speed, +20% regen time for 60s. 
 
 
 

General Tips For Week 1

Only random survivor events and not the fixed ones count towards the event. 
A survivor is counted as “saved” when he offers you a reward 
Sleeping doesn’t re-spawn Hothead Joe. 
I may have noticed an increase in the survivor events and i may have come across more reinforcements during this event. If that is correct then this event is good for requisition pack farming. (Needs confirmation)
