Body Art: Heft

Need help with the Body Art: Heft sidequest in Dead Island 2? Learn where to find Crusher Hot Spots and how to farm Oversized Arm Bones to complete Francesca's quest.

Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'Body Art: Heft' sidequest in Dead Island 2. This one's a continuation of a previous quest for Francesca, so make sure you've finished 'Body Art: Visionary' first. Also, you won't even see this quest pop up until you've completed the main story mission 'The Giant Slayer'.

Instead of chatting with Francesca directly, you'll need to find a note on a bulletin board. Look for one called Oversized Arm Bones – grabbing that is your cue to start the quest.

Where to Find Oversized Arm Bones

So, what are these 'Oversized Arm Bones'? They're a special zombie part dropped by a specific type of Apex variant: the Crusher. Normally, finding specific zombie parts can be a pain since they spawn randomly, but thankfully, there's a 'Hot Spot' for Crushers right here in Beverly Hills. You'll need five of these arm bones to finish up.

To find the Hot Spot, pull up your map and head towards the southeastern corner of Beverly Hills. You should see it marked on the street that runs north-south. Be ready, because sometimes there's more than one Crusher hanging around, and you might even run into other Apex variants. While they don't always drop what you need, you can increase your chances by chopping off their arms. For this, you'll want a weapon with a 'Maiming' mod, like a katana, and focus your attacks specifically on their arms.

You might encounter some tough Inferno Crushers at this Hot Spot, so be prepared!

Fighting Crushers

If Crushers give you a hard time, here's a quick rundown: you can block their regular attacks. Their big move is the shockwave slam – you'll want to jump over this, or you'll get knocked down. If you successfully block an attack, they'll be stunned for a bit, giving you a small window to get some hits in. Keep in mind that as their health gets low, they might get a buff that makes them perform two shockwave attacks back-to-back. If you're having trouble getting them to respawn, just wander off for a bit and come back, or you can even exit to the title screen and reload your game.

Once you've collected the five Oversized Arm Bones, head back to Francesca and toss them into her bucket to wrap up the quest. You'll get 1,500 XP for your trouble.
