Blueprints are a gameplay element featured in Dying Light. In general, they are used to craft items and for upgrading weaponry.
Weapon Blueprints
In the base game, there are 54 many blueprints that can be modifiable with weapons to increase stats and add various effects. Below are the existing mods available to modify with. When making a blueprint, please look at the requirements for that blueprint in order to craft it.
Note: In Requirements, Weapons that are marked specially (Handsaw, Scythe) mean that they are DLC-only weapons and are not in the base game to craft.
