This side quest is available after completing Main Quest: The Giant Slayer and Side Quest: The Ballad of Rikky Rex. Start the quest by speaking with Francesca in Beverly Hills in the house with the bright red roof.

The first part of the quest is The Visionary which requires you to turn in 10 Infected Flesh. This is a common drop from most zombie types, so you might even have enough already.

You can check how many parts you have from the Parts section of your Inventory. This will also tell you what zombie types drop it.

Turn in the Infected Flesh and check the noticeboard next to Francesca. This is where she will list the next part of the quest each time. Get the note to start the Heft part of the quest.

You now need 5 Oversized Arm Bones which you can obtain by killing Crushers. Complete that to start the Moist quest which requires 5 Chthonic Ichor.

This drops from the chubby Slobber enemies, so go out there and hunt them down.

Next up is the Uproar quest. Francesca will request 5 Infected Spines which are mainly obtained from killing Screamer zombies.

After that, you will need to also complete the Blood Drive main quest. This will unlock the Vigor part of the Body Art quest. You now need 3 Blade Arms, which are obtained from Butchers.

The Last Few Body Parts and Finale

Turn in the Blade Arms to complete that part of the quest.

However, you will now need to finish the Hollywood Ending quest of the main story. This is the 24th main quest and the finale. Once you’ve done that, return to Francesca.

Grab the note from the noticeboard as usual: she now requests 3 Mutated Hearts which you can get from Mutators in The Metro District.

Turn in the Mutated Hearts and you should automatically get the Unveiling quest. If you don’t, fast-travel to another area and then come back.

Anyway, all you need to do is to go to the backyard of Francesca’s house. She’s going to unveil her “masterpiece”, so just play along to claim your reward.

After the conversation, Francesca will give you the coveted Brutalizer legendary weapon! Congratulations, we hope it was worth all the trouble.
