Blueprints are a gameplay element featured in Dying Light.
Description[]
In general, blueprints are used to craft items and to upgrade weaponry. Weapon blueprints do not require an Upgrade Slot and instead uses different crafting components.
In addition to improving weapon stats similar to weapon upgrades, blueprints can apply elemental effects and damage types:
- Burning — uses fire to ignite enemy opponents and damages them over time. When applied, the weapon has a taped and modified blowtorch on the side.
- Toxicity — causes opponents to suffer from poison effects such as vomiting, and also damages them over time. When applied, the weapon has a taped bottle of poison connected to a flowing tube on the side.
- Bleeding — increases additional damage over time, it causes bleeding loss on enemy opponents. When applied, the weapon has an additional blade (or more) bolted and attached.
- Electricity — sends electricity to an opponent's body and temporarily stuns them. The electricity can also arc towards other nearby enemies. When attached, the weapon has a taped battery attached to active wiring on the side.
- Impact — affects enemies prone to being knocked down, or sending the opponent flying to a distance with increased damage from an electrical pulse. When attached, the weapon have a taped electricity-esque attachment on the side.
- Freezing — freezes the victim. This elemental effect was introduced in Dying Light: The Following.
In the game, DLC blueprints are considered to be all blueprints that are not included in the Dying Light: Enhanced Edition (more precisely, the base game + Season pass + Crash Test Skin bundle), with the exception of the Ultimate Survivor bundle.
There are more than 300 blueprints in Dying Light with all its content packs in total.
