How to Get Electronics by Scrapping Weapons in Dead Island 2

You can get Electronics by scrapping any unneeded Guns in your inventory or storage locker. This comes in handy when you are short a couple of Electronics and need them in a pinch. You can scrap a Gun from the Inventory or Workbench screens. Move the cursor over the weapon you want to scrap so it is highlighted, and then press the scrap button (it is L3 on PlayStation 5, for instance).

After you scrap the Gun, you will see a list of parts you obtained from the process on the top of your screen. However, not every Gun will provide you with Electronics, so you may need to scrap a few to get the amount of Electronics you need.
