SinceDying Lightcame onto the scenes in 2015, fans have adored the long life provided to the game by the developers at Techland.Dying Light: Definitive Editionis the finale, the legacy of thefirst game in one complete package.
SinceDying Light: Definitive Editioncomes with the 26 DLC packs ofthe original game, there are plenty of blueprints for players to find and use. Due to the high amount, players might wonder which ones are the best, and ones that are worth investing in.
Updated on June 29, 2025, by Jake Fillery:Dying Light features an arsenal of weapons that can be upgraded and enhanced into zombie-killing devices thanks to the best blueprints. Discovering blueprints, and having the necessary materials can be hard, but they are well worth the aggravation to obtain, due to the fact that they exhibit great power, with some, even featuring unique effects not seen anywhere else. Dying Light’s best blueprints can often provide a grand advantage over the overwhelming hordes, and here’s a bundle of ones to look out for when navigating and parkouring through Harran.
A rather strange blueprint, but a powerful one, the Stasis Field Projector is unlocked through an easter egg, in which players must be on the “Rupert the Gunsmith” side quest. Traveling to the northeast side of Old Town, players can enter a school to repeatedly poke a pink teddy bear, and when it explodes, the blueprints will be theirs. The blueprint itself is able to freeze zombies in place, such as Demolishers, Goons, Volatiles, and Toads. It’s also strong enough to kill bombers and infected children, and works perfectly for Biters, Virals, and Night Walkers, allowing players to keep them suspended in the air for vulnerable targets or a quick escape.
Compliment the power of a weapon with Bolter Poison, a modification obtained through a blueprint, which will add a strong version of the Toxic status to any given melee weapon. This effect can be deadly in the right hands and will make sure to keep undead hordes at bay with every swing, allowing players more breathing room thanks to the quick and powerful effects of toxicity. Yet, there are alternative weapons and effects that can see superior results.
There’s nothing worse than being in an intense fight against the hordes of enemies that can attack players in Harran, only to become exhausted and run out of stamina, meaning no melee weapon swinging until recovery. Thanks to the Stamina Booster, players can negate this loss, and experience unlimited stamina for both running and melee attacks, ensuring their movement and combat abilities are at the top of their game. It’s affordable, effective, and always worth carrying.
Speed is the key to survival when trying to avoid hostile soldiers and hungry undead, and the Speed Booster is the perfect concoction for that. Through the right Survival skills, players can unlock the Speed Booster and even the Booster XL skill to add additional time to their speed boost.
However, it’s worth noting that the materials can be rather rare and expensive, and once players enjoy the intense speeds of this drug, they won’t want to go back to normal sprint speeds, especially when they can easily outrun enemies and complete parkour encounters with ease.
The Poison Blast modification is a blueprint that can be applied to axes, pickaxes, and sledgehammers. The application of Poison Blast will provide the player with a deadly weapon that has medium effects of both toxic and bleeding, specific to a two-handed weapon.
This blueprint can be found inOld Town. It is located by a white truck that isn’t carrying anything and has a side compartment with the modification inside.
Despite having a grey rarity, the Tesla Shield is certainly more useful than it may seem. After unlocking the Shield Crafting Skill, players will be able to stop the hordes from trying to take chunks of flesh from their skin. Not only can it block attacks, but its special effect electrocutes enemies when activated, allowing players to take a quick breather and regain space against their enemies.
What makes Burning Throwing Stars so effective, is how cheap they are to craft, and the large quantity players receive upon crafting. These stars travel at a fast speed and are great at making short work of enemies, alive or dead. Not to mention, they burn any enemy that it hits. It’s agreat thing to love aboutDying Light.
The special effect of the Burning Throwing Stars makes it well worth the journey to get it. Players must unlock the Elemental Throwing Stars skill, and then they will be able to set anyone ablaze with one throw.
What makes the Volatile Hunter Baton such a great blueprint is its accessibility. WithDying Light: Definitive Edition, the Volatile Hunter Baton will be available right at the beginning, thanks to it being part of a DLC pack. It applies medium electricity and burning effects to the following items: picks, hatchets, crowbars, wrenches, bats, police batons, hammers, and military shovels.
This blueprint can be a great starting modification for new players. It can be used on a multitude of many different weapon types, and also doesn’t require a lot of tools to craft.
As part of the Shu Warrior Bundle DLC, the Leaping Tiger Dao blueprint will be available at the start of the game forDying Light: Definitive Editionplayers. This modification doesn’t add any elemental effects, but this comes as a great alternative. The Leaping Tiger Dao gives players a damage boost after successful consecutive hits.
Although weaponry is an absolute necessity for survival inDying Light’s harsh world of monsters consisting of both humans and infected, being able to fight the hordes would be useless if the player is dead. This is why the medkit craftable utility isa useful blueprint.
Players can also take the Skill “Crafting Expertise” to craft 2 medkits at once instead of just 1. By continuing to craft medkits, players will ensure their survival.
