Crafting is a huge part of Dead Island 2. Attaching a Cremator Mod to a Claymore to inflict fire damage to zombies as you cleave through them never gets old. Or hooking up a Military Knife with an Electrocutor Mod to stun zombies in their tracks turns a small knife into an AOE weapon.

Progressing into the late game, you’ll unlock Autophage abilities and new powerful weapon mods crafted using zombie parts! Getting your hands on these items allows you to build the most potent weapons in the game.

Don’t Carry Too Many Crafting Materials
Dambuster Studios throws a lot of zombies at you and, in turn, many crafting materials. As you progress through the game, you’ll quickly load up on common, uncommon, and rare crafting materials.
THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAYSCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT
It’s easy to be in the mindset that you must sparingly craft Med Kits, Weapon Mods, or keep abundant materials for repairing your favorite weapons. In most survival games, this would be the case.
In Dead Island 2, you’ll constantly be picking up materials, so it’s good practice to sell your unused materials to Traders. You’ll get much more value from purchasing rarer crafting materials and blueprints.
You can replenish items by reloading the area by exiting and entering the location or going back to the main menu.

Uncommon
|

|
|
Infected Flesh
|
Common
|
|
- No method increases the drop rate of Infected Flesh, but the more zombies you kill, the more you’ll obtain, so target areas with significant zombie presence, such as the tip of the Santa Monica pier or Gauntlet area in the quarantine zone of Venice Beach.
- Infected Flesh can also be found in hazardous containers in the CDC and Laboratory areas.
|
|
Infected Sinew
|
Superior

|
ct Larvae
|
Rare
|
- Putrefied Slobbers
- Insect Swarm Walkers
|
- It’s less time-consuming to harvest Insect Larvae from Insect Swarm Walkers. You can find many Insect Swarm Walkers outside Emma Gaunt’s Mansion on Access Road 782 and in Beverly Hills outside Michael’s house and the gate leading to Monarch Studios.
|
|
Bloated Spleen
|
Uncommon
|
- Slobbers
- Firestorm Slobbers

|
|
Regenerating Tissue
|
Rare
|
- Butchers
- Vicious Butchers
|
- There is no method to increase the chance of Butchers dropping Regenerative Tissue. However, you can find butches in the Metro tunnels linking to Hollywood Boulevard. Or Santa Monica Pier. We recommend that you reload the game to respawn the Vicous Butchers.
|
|

|
Superior
|
- Slobber
- Putrefied Slobber
- Firestorm Slobber

Unlocking Zombie Parts
You won’t be able to start collecting zombie parts until you’ve acquired Autophage abilities, unlocked by completing The Giant–Slayer story mission acquired in the Venice Beach area.
Completing The Giant-Slayer mission will trigger zombies to begin dropping zombie parts marked by hazardous yellow bags. When collected in abundance, zombie parts unlock more potent versions of Autophage abilities.
You can view the stage of Autophage within the Skills menu.
There’s no guarantee that zombies will drop zombie parts. However, as mentioned in the table above, you can increase the chances of specific zombie part drops.
Zombie Part Farming In Monarch Studios
Monarch Studios has a great deal of variety regarding the undead and is the perfect place to farm zombie parts—especially the giant spider animatronic.
This is due to being able to set off the alarm on the tanker spawning Slobbers, Shocking Walkers, and Firefighter Walkers.
Zombie Part Farming At Santa Monica Pier
At the end of the Santa Monica Pier, you will be surrounded by zombie spawn locations. You can quickly amass a horde of zombies and farm them for zombie parts.
Butchers will spawn in this area along with crushers and Slobbers. Zombies infinitely spawn in this area, making it a great place to farm parts.
