I was surprised to find that the Autophage Blueprints don’t unlock until you get to the end of the Venice Beach story quests. You’re tasked with hunting down two strong men when you run into your friend from the sewers, Patton, for the second time. While taking apart the first muscular zombie you were looking for, he teaches you how to use the dead’s organs to create new weapons.

As with regular mod and perk blueprints, you can find Autophage Blueprints by spending time exploring HELL.A. They’re given to the player as quest rewards and can be found around the city once you’ve unlocked them through the Blue Crab quest. There are a variety of effects that can be applied to your weapons like the Unstable blueprint reaction, which causes zombies to explode when your weapon causes a critical hit.

Since Autophage Blueprints don’t unlock until you finish the fourteenth story quest, you should consider going over areas you’ve already been through. That might mean following up on some pending side quests or just following up on lockboxes that you left behind. Whatever the reason, you’ll likely be grateful for the perks when you’re causing zombies to explode all across L.A.
