Dead End is a location in the Dead City in Stray. The Cat and B-12 are sent there in Chapter 7: Dead End by Seamus to rescue Doc.
There are three Zurk Runs in this area: one before meeting Doc, one while helping him repair the Defluxor, and one after getting the defluxor installed, while returning to the Slums.
Only the first is challenging, particularly for those on PC who use their mouse to move left/right rather than strafing. The fixed camera makes this near impossible. You could instead map the run key to LMB, and just keep those two buttons pressed. That leaves the keyboard hand free to do WASD plus space.
Doc's house[]

You can enter the Dead End through a door located in the Slums. After a small courtyard, you can go to the wall between the Lower and Upper levels, opposite which there is a wastewater stream leading to the courtyard, where there is a generator and a two-story house where the Doc is hiding. The Cat can enter it through the window. On the other side of the house there is a bridge to the garage room, through which you can return back to the Slums.
Doc has been experimenting with a Defluxor weapon, and left the Slums for the Dead End to test it in real conditions. Unfortunately, the generator used to power the Defluxer blew a fuse, confining Doc inside the house. The house is surrounded by zurks. Inside the house we can find Doc's equipment, blueprints, notes, drawings, and caged zurks for experiments.
Trivia[]
