Exceptional weapons don't always appear exceptional stat-wise, but will have orange names regardless. Once picked up you have credit for it, so feel free to drop or sell it at that point. Finding these weapons is completely random, though you can get the scavenger skill for Logan or Jackpot for Purna (in the survival skill tree) that will increase your chance for better loot. The other two characters do not have a similar skill. These can be looted from chests or dead zombies, doesn't matter. Some people report to find 5+ weapons in one playthrough, while others report only one or two. This might be the last achievement a lot of people get. Luckily a trick has been discovered. For more info on this, see the thread HERE.

Note: You can't get this by "trading" with a friend, given that the description clearly says "loot".

You must loot 5 Exceptional (orange name) weapons from chests, these are the best weapons you can get in the game but are very rare to get a hold of. This takes a bit of luck to get but can be farmed. You can usually find these weapons in the Level 3 locked chests but these require the level 3 Picklock skill.

There are quite a few methods to get these weapons and we have detailed the 3 best and most efficient ones below:

  • Method #1 - Bunker to Lab Fast Travelling

    Fast Travel to Mowen's Boat and there will be 3 chests here: One behind the Fast Travel, one near the first chest in a little hut area and the last one is inside the bunker right by the boat. There is a staircase inside, go up the stairs and the third is just to the right side. After you have farmed these three chests, use the fast travel again and travel to Bunker #2. As you enter the Bunker there will be a ladder, climb it to find 2 chests. There is also a chest right next to the Fast Travel station. Repeat this method until you have 5 exceptional weapons, be patient. The Pumas Jackpot perk can also increase you're chances of getting rare weapons.
  • Method #2 - Wait in-game for 5 real time hours

    This is the most time-consuming method but it works wonders. What you want to do is just leave Dead Island sit there for 5hrs idle, real-time. Once 5hrs have passed, travel to Mowen's Boat and there will be 3 chests here: One behind the Fast Travel, one near the first chest in a little hut area and the last one is inside the bunker right by the boat. There is a staircase inside, go up the stairs and the third is just to the right side. At least one of these should have an orange weapon in. Now do them same thing again. Wait 5hrs then Fast Travel to the bunker and open all the chests up in there.
  • Method #3 - Arena C (Hard) Bloodbath DLC

    This was our favourite and quickest method to get orange weapons. One flaw though, it requires the Bloodbath Arena DLC (£7.99/$11.99 on the PS Store or free with GOTY version). What you want to do is get to round 20 pretty much, 90% of the time once you hit round 20 you will get a notice come up saying a zombie is "Carrying an Exceptional Weapon" and you will see the specific zombie on the mini-map. Simply kill him and pick up the weapon. Getting to round 20 can be tricky though and is much easier in co-op. We used the Zed's Demise Katana with shock mod. The sword is obtained on one of the side quests in the Prison. As well as using guns with lots of ammo.
