• Klusha Handle: This is a component for one of the weapons. One player notes finding the blueprint for this in the swamp area before you even get to the lab where the Secateur gun is located.

• Klusha Blade: This is likely a primary part of the Klusha weapon, found at 1:32:56.
• Chirpers (10 total): While not directly a weapon model, collecting these is tied to certain achievements and potentially provides information. They are mentioned as being optional if you've collected enough in the main story, but there are 10 in the DLC.
