A rare modification item is a special type of item introduced in Dead Island: Riptide. These items appear under the "Modification" category of the inventory menu and have a rarity classification of "rare", with their names showing up in blue text. For this reason, these items are sometimes referred to as blue modification items.
Use[]
Contrary to their categorization, rare modification items are not used as components in any weapon modifications. The only use for these items is to complete third-level Team Quests.
Location[]
Unlike other items in the modification category, rare modification items do not appear randomly in any containers or on any enemies. Instead, these items can only be found in pre-defined locations within Dead Zones (with one exception). Each Dead Zone will have anywhere from 1 to 4 rare modification items located within it. Items picked up inside Dead Zones will respawn after a set duration, or once the Hero leaves and then re-enters the Dead Zone.
Dead Zones are accessible from the very beginning of the game, but not all rare modification items are available in the Dead Zones found within the Flooded Jungle. Thus, certain Team Quests cannot be completed until the Heroes reach Henderson.
