Shredder Bat

The mod applied to a Big Baseball Bat in the Definitive Edition

The Shredder Mod is a weapon mod featured in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. It was added to Dead Island in Patch 1.3. When used at a Workbench, the mod adds extremely heavy bleed damage and a bleed critical to the Baseball Bat or Big Baseball Bat.

Overview[]

This mod is one of the many applicable to only a certain weapon or weapon group, and in this case it's the baseball bat and its wooden derivatives. It's a late addition to the mod roster, being collected a short way into reaching the Laboratory, however by this time, it will be a far more affordable mod to be using at this stage once collected. The mod applies a very heavy damage and critical damage bonus, being one of the few mods to apply a rank 5 effect some something to a weapon, making it a very dangerous mod to carry about, but also one of the best. It's relatively expensive at $1,000, and it also requires a large amount of mod items to craft, being a total of 12, some of which can be a little difficult to get hold of. However, should they be collected, the mod is by far one of the best bleed mods in the game, with a very high critical change and damage bonus on a critical hit, plus a high bleed critical duration, ensuring that whatever it crits will bleed out very quickly. It's a force to be reckoned with so long as you can find a base weapon and mod parts to craft it. Visually, it is identical to the Ripper Mod but with the key difference that the blade does not spin at the end of the bat, it instead remains static.

In Riptide, the mod is acquired similarly late in the game but need to be purchased from Alex in Henderson for $2,750, which is quite a lot of Cash compared to collecting it for free in the original game. However, the mod is unchanged in Riptide so is just as effective after purchasing.

The mod's major downfall is is limited weapon selection. By the time you collect it, it's likely you're past level 24, at which point regular baseball bats no longer spawn, which cuts off 50% of its applicable weapons. Big Baseball Bats are not altogether too uncommon but if you can't find one, the mod is useless due to its short weapon selection range. The mod is also relatively expensive to craft at $1,000 and an odd bunch of mod items, however if it can be crafted, it is second to none in terms of bleed mods, with nothing else coming close to its potential damage. Due to its blunt weapon nature, though, the mod is useless for sharp weapon specialists such as Xian Mei.

Description[]

Edit This Mod
Below I described how to turn a regular baseball bat into a small, handy sawmill. You put together various sharp junk and tools and then combine them to maximize the destructive force of such a club. The unfortunate punk who gets hit by something like that will bleed out before he hits the ground.
In Dead Island, the mod is located on the roof of the warehouse at the Laboratory which is visited in the side quest Rotting Flesh.
In Dead Island: Riptide, the mod is purchased from Alex in Henderson for $2,750 after completing his side quest Rescue Alex.

Notes[]

  • This is one of the few mods to apply a rank 5 effect to the weapon, as most mods apply 4 or lower.
  • When applied to the weapon, the name becomes 'Shredder [WEAPON]', e.g. Shredder Baseball Bat.
