Most attachments in Apocalypse Rising 2 appear in military areas, especially yellow Equipment Cases. Start with Ashland’s gun store, the Lighthouse, Radio Station, and Fairview’s hidden arcade room. For specific upgrades, check Magnolia docks for the Green Laser, Salem’s Obsidian Night Club for the Pink Laser, and the Casino for the NATO Operator Suppressor.
Containers worth checking
The Apocalypse Rising Wiki identifies yellow Equipment Cases as a main attachment source. It also lists these places to search:
- Inside Lock Boxes and Small Toolboxes.
- Inside safes and on their tops.
- On top of green Military Shipping Crates.
- Among drops from certain special Infected.
Military areas are the main starting point, but civilian buildings and containers can hold the Rifle Scope and Oil Filter Suppressor. Some attachments have restricted sources, so searching ordinary cases will not cover every upgrade.
A known case location does not guarantee that you will find an attachment there on every visit.
Halsey Island attachment locations
GENERALL’s September 2025 attachment guide documents the following search spots. Several cases are empty during the walkthrough, making these useful container locations rather than promises of available loot.
| Location | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Ashland gun store | Check the yellow case at the back of the shop. |
| Police department | Search the basement for an attachment case. |
| Lighthouse area | Check the basement of the yellow house and the separate case beneath the stairs. |
| Radio Station | Search the top of the radio tower and the podcast room. |
| House beside the racetrack | Look behind the safe for a Lock Box. |
| Racetrack shack | Search the hay for a metal box; a custom equipment case is also shown nearby. |
| Fishing shack area | Climb the shelving in one of the larger buildings to reach a yellow case in the rafters. |
| Fairview beach store | Check the yellow case on a shelf. |
| Below Fairview’s arcade | Open the movable bookcase and search the concealed room for a yellow attachment case. |
The Fairview arcade room is particularly easy to overlook because the entrance is concealed by furniture. At the fishing shack, checking only floor-level loot misses the case above you.
GENERALL also identifies Soviet attachment loot at Tango, beside Water Treatment: look inside a tent near the sandbags for a Soviet surplus container. His library and Beaufort Cave stops involve less certain descriptions, so the clearer landmarks above make more practical starting points.
Mackinaw Island attachment locations
The Mackinaw section of GENERALL’s guide starts at 4:28. Check these spots when you are already nearby:
- Smuggler Airstrip building: Search the upper floor for a crate that the guide identifies as a possible attachment source.
- Smuggler Airstrip watchtower: Climb to the top and check the weapon attachment case.
- Eden barn: Go upstairs and search beside the hay bales for a Lock Box.
- Lockport crane: Climb the ladder to the operating room and look beneath the table.
- Nearby Lockport building: The guide shows another yellow case beneath a table at the back of a building two buildings away from the crane.
The watchtower case contains a bandage during the demonstration. Inspect the contents rather than assuming the container’s label guarantees an attachment.
Specific lasers, grips, and suppressors
For these items, the Apocalypse Rising Wiki’s attachment entries provide more specific targets than general container hunting.
| Attachment | Location or acquisition source |
|---|---|
| Green Laser Sight | Possible drop from a unique Infected at Magnolia docks. |
| Pink Laser Sight | Possible drop from the Infected Magenta Technolord at Salem’s Obsidian Night Club or the Party Trailer random event. |
| NATO Operator Suppressor | Can appear with the Operator M4A1; the Casino is another listed spawn location. |
| Soviet Spetsnaz Suppressor | Can appear with OTs-14 Grozas at Spetsnaz Bandit Camp random events; the Mansion is another listed location. |
| Short Foregrip | Restricted to Special Forces Attachment spawns. |
The Professional Suppressor has differing acquisition descriptions. The wiki lists it as obtainable only with the M1911 F/A, while GENERALL demonstrates a Professional Suppressor drop from the Hitman at the Luxury House. That encounter is a documented place to check; neither description establishes it as ordinary case loot.
A comment on Larry’s loot guide claims a Casino machine guarantees attachments. That guaranteed spawn rate has not been officially confirmed.
FAQ
Is there a reliable map for apocalypse rising 2 attachments locations?
The wiki has an attachment locations map, but its separate Beta attachment map explicitly labels locations as outdated or unconfirmed. Use recognizable buildings and container positions to check older markers.
Where should I search for common attachments?
Check yellow Equipment Cases first. Civilian buildings are also worth searching for the Rifle Scope and Oil Filter Suppressor, according to the wiki.
Can every underbarrel attachment fit a pistol?
No. The wiki lists the regular, Green, and Pink Laser Sights as the only underbarrel attachments compatible with pistols. Foregrips are not pistol options.
