Many weapons in Dying Light: The Beast have mod slots that let you add extra effects and power to your melee weapons. These mods can cause freezing, electrical shocks, and more. If you want to deal more damage beyond just blunt force or slashing, mods give your weapons special abilities.
The weapon mods improve both base damage and elemental effects, as well as increasing your chances for critical hits. They also add bonus damage effects on every critical hit. You can electrify, ignite, and freeze the infected as you fight through Castor Woods with these weapon mods.
All weapon blueprints for mods are found as you play through main and side missions, visit vendors in Old Town and the Exiles Cave, and explore Dark Zones and Safe Spots.
If a weapon in your inventory has circle icons next to it, it has space for mods. There are three types of slots: Tip, Grip, and Shaft. Check your weapon to see which mod slots are available.
Only melee weapons can hold mods. Firearms do not have mod slots.
Most blueprints for weapon mods are unlocked through gameplay, by completing quests, visiting vendors, and exploring specific zones.
