Wire is a miscellaneous item used for customising weapons. It can be found throughout the Dead Island, Dead Island: Riptide and Dead Island 2. Wire is one if the most used mod items, alongside Duct Tape and Metal Scrap. As such, you'll constantly be running out of it. It's a good idea to stock up on it when you can, either by buying it in bulk from a merchant or by travelling to designated spots where it spawns. It appears as a two coils of wire, one blue and one red. They've been roughly coiled by hand to keep them secure.
In Dead Island 2, the wire returns as an uncommon rarity misc item, as a roll of copper wire on a black plastic spool.
