While there are a range of different items in each weapon category, Dying Light The Beast only gives you two grip mods for your weapons. Grip mods are passive and can be used on different melee weapons to increase damage, and add durability.

However, not every weapon in the game has a Grip Slot but most melee weapon do. Swords and machetes benefit from grip mods the most in Dying Light The Beast. Also keep in mind that named legendaries don’t support Grip Mods but regular melee weapons at any rarity do.

Reinforcement grip mod blueprint is also inside the Taurus Gas Station. However, this time you need to enter through the other side of the building. Crawl under the barricaded door and to your left should be a door that is blocked from the inside.

Look to the right, on the wall, where a vent opening takes you directly inside that room.
