Look Outside: How To Craft Herbicide & All Crafting Recipes

Some of the best weapons in Look Outside are locked behind meat doors. These gross blocks don’t need keys to get through — instead, you’ll need to apply a rare item called Herbicide. There are a few you can get just from wandering around, but the easier way to stock up on Herbicide is through crafting. Crafting gives you the ability to create healing items, powerful combat items, and Herbicide — you’ll want them all ASAP to get through some of the trickier fights in Look Outside.

How To Craft

You can craft items in your apartment by combining them on the crafting table in the lower-left corner of the living room. You’ll learn recipes by experimenting — but there aren’t too many recipes to learn. These are all the crafting recipes available, and they’re all worth knowing. By combining items, you can make much more powerful items for a very cheap price.

If you’re looking to save money, purchase the ingredients at Eugene’s Store on Floor 2 instead of buying the item itself. In some cases, you’ll be able to craft these items before they become available in Eugene’s Store, so you can unlock meat doors earlier — before reaching the Ground Floor — it you know the Herbicide recipe. This gives you access to a powerful gun way earlier in your run, which is always worth collecting.

Here’s a full list of recipes — what items to combine for each item, and what those items do. Some of these items are incredibly useful and buying ingredients is a lot easier than buying the actual items themselves.
