Note: This guide is a work in progress. We’ll update it with new blueprints as we progress through the game.

Iceberg

This upgrade adds a freezing effect to axes. You can get the diagram for it during the Going Postal mission. It’s in one of the houses in the city on the coast. You’ll have to go in through the roof. When you’re in, look for a white file cabinet. The blueprint will be inside.

Heavy Venom

Heavy Venom is a mod for heavy weapons that applies a toxic effect, which poisons enemies and makes them take damage over time. You can get it by killing the Holler freak enemy. He can be found in a yard east of the big lake. Your best bet is to climb the terrace, shoot a bit, then run to cover when he tries to hit you with a boulder. Rinse and repeat.

Helluva Homerun

This weapon mod can be used only on baseball bats, and it adds a fire effect to them. This causes the targets to catch on fire, which does damage over time.

Jump into the water through the grate, and swim into the next room. Grapple onto the catwalk, and look for a door. Once you’re in the computer room, grapple to the broken walkway and go into the small room. The blueprint is in the chest.
