This guide will show you exactly how to find the diner, solve its puzzle, and claim your prize.
How to Find the Dusty 66 Diner
The Dusty 66 Diner is a specific point of interest that requires a bit of a drive to reach.
Location from Gas Station: The diner is located approximately 4,800 meters from the gas station. You will need a vehicle with enough fuel to make the journey.

How to Solve the Puzzle and Unlock the Zyra Car
Inside the diner, you’ll find a puzzle that spells out “CARS.” You must complete four specific tasks to light up each letter and claim the Zyra.

You must destroy the mutant’s head using a weapon. Once you do this, the letter “A” will light up.

Find a way to climb onto the roof of the diner. There, you will find a red button.
Press the red button to light up the letter “R.”
S – Give Garlic to NPC David:
