Quick Scoop: In Dying Light, gun mods are usually found as loot in blue/white chests, police van trunks, and random event rewards rather than bought outright. Players also report good odds from side quests, rooftop chests, and certain Old Town locations like locker sets and special chest spawns.

  • Police van trunks, especially in Old Town, are a commonly cited source for weapon upgrades and mods.

  • Blue locked chests in the Slums, including train cars and rooftops, can drop upgrades.
    • [2]
  • Random events and survivor rescues may reward weapon upgrades, according to player reports.

  • Side quests and bulletin board missions are another reliable place to check.

What players mean by “gun mods”

In older Dying Light discussions, people often use “gun mods” loosely to mean weapon upgrades, blueprints, or mod-like enhancements rather than actual firearm attachments.

If you mean Dying Light 2 or The Beast, the answer changes a lot, because those games handle weapon mods differently and focus more on melee weapon mod blueprints.

Fast route

  1. Check police van trunks first.
    2. [2]
  2. Loot blue and white locked chests on rooftops and in train cars.
    3. [2]
  3. Do random events and rescue survivors whenever you see them.
    4. [2]
  4. Finish side quests and inspect bulletin boards for more loot sources.

Bottom line: for Dying Light, the best practical answer is to farm chests, police vans, side quests, and random events rather than hunting one fixed “gun mod” vendor.
