Dead Island 2 - How to Get All Parts

If you’re a fan of crafting fancy upgraded weapons in Dead Island 2 you’ll need the right materials. This can be difficult if you’re not sure how to get all parts such as infected flesh, mutated hearts, or even uncommon parts like electronics.

We’ve listed how to get each one in the many sections below sorted by rarity to make things easier to find. It’s important to mention that every zombie and apex variant name is mentioned across the sections. So if you don’t want to get spoiled by the name of one, you may not want to continue.

Also, if you’re trying to track down infected parts, you’ll need to have made it far enough in Dead Island 2 to unlock them first. Once you have, the best way to get them is by maiming the right zombies. This typically includes taking out a limb such as an arm or leg.

And if you’re having trouble finding a specific apex variant to farm for parts, you can check the HELL-A map for markers. For example, Ocean Avenue has one indicating where you can frequently encounter Crushers. But, you may not see these markers if you haven’t unlocked the apex variant yet.
