Days Gone Remastered: Crafting Recipe Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Crafting Recipes in Days Gone Remastered are the 33 blueprints that transform Oregon's scattered scrap, herbs, and gunpowder into Deacon's full survival arsenal — from the first Spiked Bat earned after clearing a single Ambush Camp to the IPCA Stun Gun, which requires collecting all 18 IPCA Tech pieces and completing "There's Nothing You Can Do."

All 33 are visible and can be tracked on our Days Gone Oregon map.

Two Sources: Ambush Camps and Story Missions

Every Crafting Recipe comes from one of two places — and the split makes Ambush Camp clearing far more rewarding than most players realise.

Ambush Camp progressive unlocks — clearing camps in sequence unlocks recipes that scale with danger. The bunker below each cleared camp contains the schematic:

• 1 camp cleared → Spiked Bat
• 2 camps → Stamina Cocktail
• 3 camps → Smoke Bomb
• 4 camps → Bat Axe
• 5 camps → Focus Cocktail
• 6 camps → Superior Club
• 7 camps → Proximity Bomb
• 8 camps → Incendiary Bolt
• 10 camps → Attractor Bomb
• 12 camps → Explosive Bolt

Story Mission rewards — the remaining recipes unlock automatically through specific story milestones: Poison Bolt ("I've Got a Plan"), Residue Bolt ("They're Not Sleeping"), Attractor ("Do You Have My Back?"), Pipebomb ("They Will Never Stop"), Ripper Axe ("I'm Good With That"), Health Cocktail ("A War We Can Win"), Napalm Molotov ("Ascending From the Underworld"), and the IPCA Stun Gun ("There's Nothing You Can Do" + 18 IPCA Tech).

The Trophy These Unlock: Variety is the Spice of Life

Variety is the Spice of Life (Silver) — kill at least one enemy with every type of crossbow bolt.

The five bolt types required are: Standard (default from the start), Poison ("I've Got a Plan" mission), Residue ("They're Not Sleeping" mission), Incendiary (8 Ambush Camps cleared), and Explosive (12 Ambush Camps cleared).

The Incendiary and Explosive Bolts are the final two to unlock, making the 8th and 12th camp clearances the natural milestone targets for anyone chasing this Silver.

The IPCA Stun Gun: The Most Demanding Recipe

The Unknown NERO Weapon (IPCA Stun Gun) is the only recipe in the game with a material count this high — it requires all 18 IPCA Tech pieces, which are scattered across the entire Oregon map.

Every single piece must be found before the recipe can be crafted, making the IPCA Tech hunt the hidden prerequisite for this weapon.

The IPCA Tech guide on MapMaster's Oregon map tracks every piece with precise coordinates.

Crafting at Any Time: The Survival Wheel

All unlocked recipes are available from the Survival Wheel (hold L1 on PS5) at any point — no campfire, workbench, or safe location required.

Select a category, pick the recipe, and craft immediately if materials are in inventory.

If any required material is missing, it appears in red in the center panel, identifying exactly what needs to be scavenged next.
