Unlock the New Hidden Recipes in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution
In The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution you unlock most recipes and schematics by upgrading your crafting tables. Except for the green recipes at the bottom of each table. These have to be found out in New Orleans before you can craft them. Wondering where to find them? Well then look no further, because we’ve got them here.
All recipes from Chapter 1 of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners can be found in the same locations here in the second game. For those recipes check out the article covering all of them. (Human enemies also drop some firearm, explosive, and ammunition recipes occasionally)
This list is only missing a single recipe to avoid spoilers, don’t worry though you will easily get it when doing the main story missions of the game. If you get every recipe on this list (and the main mission recipe just mentioned) and still notice you have some recipe slots unfilled and without hints on the page, that is because those are only available by purchasing the Payback Edition addon to the game.
Table of Contents:
Heavy Armor Plating
The Heavy Armor Plating recipe is by far the easiest of the new recipes in The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution to acquire. It is located in the resting place in the new catacombs area in the room just across the hallway from the bedroom you sleep in. It is sitting on the large wooden table in the center of the room.
Bolted Up Gloves
The Bolted up gloves recipe comes highly recommended to find, and can be acquired during one of the very early missions that you do for the main story. It is located in Bourbon Street in the cocktail lounge on the right end of St. Peter street when looking at your map. It also appears on your map as the brown building with a bottle of bourbon on it.
When entering the house find the stairs that lead to the second floor and go up them. You will come across a room with a shrine or altar of some kind covered in bones and candles. Go through the double doors on the other side of the shrine and find the recipe on the desk in front of you.
Hand Grenade
The Hand Grenade recipe is a pretty straightforward find, and a fun addition to your arsenal. Go to the Hotel E’Claire and enter it from the left side of the building, where there is a fountain and bushes in front of the entrance. On your map this is the entrance on the left side of the building. Once you are inside you’ll notice a coat check on one side of the room, and a set of stairs leading downwards on the other side. These lead down to the wine bar.
Go down the stairs, but once you are at the bottom look underneath the staircase. Hugging the inside of the final flight of stairs is the recipe sitting on the floor.
Undersleeve Plating
The Undersleeve Plating recipe is a little more difficult to find, but you will come across it during the main story missions, either way you can grab it early if you like. Go to Via Corolla and get to Bonaparte street. Once you are on the street walk all the way down it towards the right side of the map. Once you are at the end of the street you will see a crashed police van blocking your way further.
Just to the right of the van is a hole in the fence that borders the street. Duck through the hole and enter the building beyond it. This building is the house marked as green on the map. Take a right as soon as you enter the building. The recipe is on a piece of furniture at about head height.
Double Barrled Sawed Off Shotgun (Improved)
The High End Sawed Off Shotgun recipe can be found by going to The Tower, and is a useful upgrade to the original craftable Sawed Off Shotgun. On the top right most side of your map is a grey, uncolored building that was once a parking garage. Go inside the garage past the collection booth at the front, your goal is to get to the top right section of the garage on your map. Keep to the first floor and don’t go up any ramps.
You should see two semi-trucks at the furthest right corner of the garage, just past a ramp that would lead to the second level. Squeeze between the trucks and find the recipe on the floor in the little nook behind them.
Custom SMG (Improved)
The High End SMG is a direct upgrade to the craftable SMG, and is a must have if you like the weapon. To find it go to The Tower. In front of the Teal Tower building on the map is a small collection of tents, which are past various tower barricades and checkpoints. Fight your way through the Tower soldiers. When you find yourself going down the road that has big concrete walls on either side with traffic cones at their corners, you are going the right way.
Just past those walls is a collection of tents. Head past the military vehicles towards where there is a row of small tents. The first tent you come across, which is closest to the entrance of the left side of the compound will have the recipe sitting on a table.
The Orphan Bow
The Orphan Bow is a must have blueprint for bow lovers in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution. It’s an even more improved bow than the improved bow from the first game, and even features a laser sight for improved accuracy. To get the recipe go back through the catacombs in the Resting Place to the Churchyard where The Reserve is. Instead of walking through the front door of the church, take the small open gate to the left of it where there will be a ladder leading up a bus.
Walk past the junk scattered around and the picnic table, to where you climb up the pipe to get inside the church at the end of the first game. To the left in the corner is a large green tent. Inside of that tent on the right is a cot that has the Orphan Bow recipe sitting on top of it. Note that this recipe might be bugged and not be visible on top of the cot. If that’s the case just hover your hand over it and wait for the grab marker to appear inside the cot and press the grab button to make it zoom into your hand.
