Dying Light Crafting Components Farming Locations Guide

Crafting is part and parcel of surviving in Dying Light.

It allows you to make Customized Weapons, Throwable Weapons, Medkits, and more. In order to craft something, you will need a recipe (called Blueprint) and crafting components. Both these things can be acquired scattered throughout the open world.

Every recipe these parts feed is listed on our blueprints locations guide, and the Night Sense habit described below pays off most on the nights our Volatiles page covers.

Dying Light Crafting Components Farming

Your Night Sense is of paramount importance when it comes to detecting crafting components in containers and other stashes.

Furthermore, do note that industrial areas mostly contain Metal Parts, Blades, and other items while the weapons themselves are usually shut inside cars and houses. Another thing to keep in mind is that some crafting components (like Common Plants and Algae) appear on the map which makes it easy to find them.
