If you are still inside the nest when daytime comes around, many Volatiles will come rushing into the nest from outside to escape the sunlight and will attempt to save the remaining developing Volatiles by attacking and trying to kill any players caught inside.

#DYING LIGHT VOLATILE HUNTER BATON PLUS#
Flares and UV Flashlight are a good option to combat the Volatiles plus gives you a safe zone to work within whilst you destroy the incubating Volatiles.Whilst high-damage weapons are an obvious choice for this, make use of other skills or at least ensure that you are significantly levelled up in the power category - You will want to dispatch of the infected defending the area as well as need a weapon that can quickly and efficiently kill the developing Volatiles.Use a high-damage weapon to reduce the number of hits needed to kill the infected (something such as a modified Dark Machete or a Fabulous Handsaw with at least 1300 damage can cause serious damage to a developing Volatile).The Night Hunter does not need to be present to find and destroy these nests as the Hunter's objective in Be the Zombie is to protect the hives which are in the open, as opposed to hives which are within the Volatile Nests in the Countryside. As a result, attacking let alone entering a Volatile Nest during the day is far more dangerous than at night due to heavier numbers of infected in the Nests during the day whilst the activity is very minimal at night. The number of volatiles and virals changes between day and night within the nests during the day more infected are inside taking refuge from the sun whereas during the night more volatiles have left to 'hunt'. These nests are the breeding grounds for Volatiles and are a focus for several side quests to destroy the Hives/developing Volatiles within. The location that the actual Volatile Nests appear are in The Following DLC, the Countryside. Whilst the developing Volatiles are technically Hives (as a targetable enemy) and are not to be confused/seen as a Volatile Nest of its own, the Hives still appear in Slums and Old Town (and the Countryside in the open areas) as part of an active Night-Invasion/during Be The Zombie. However they do appear as significant locations in the Countryside and as part of some side-quest objectives. unlike how they appear as locations in the Countryside.

They do not appear as actual nests in the Slums or the Old Town i.e.
They only appear during the Night during an invasion, and players must fight against the player-controlled Night Hunter to destroy these hives, while the Night Hunter must protect them. The hives themselves being in the game mode Be The Zombie, with these hives found scattered along the terrain (varying from a space in the opening such as a courtyard or even a rooftop). Volatile Nests and their Hives/independent Hives appear in two different locations.
