When the city you live in is overrun with flesh-eating freaks, having adequate protection is critical to staying off the menu.
Luckily, in Dead Island 2, Los Angeles (or, as the locals call it, HELL-A) is littered with all kinds of weaponry to equip you for the task at hand.
Like to get up close and personal? We’ve got knuckle dusters, katars, and bear claws to keep you satisfied.
Fancy yourself a bit of a swordsman? Grab a katana or a claymore and start hacking the rotten arms and legs off zombies (just be sure to finish them off).
Tired of smelling stale zombie breath all the time? You’ll find pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, and even nail guns, all perfect for dismantling the undead from afar.
Whether you like to slice, dice, maim, decapitate, or dismember your foes, there’s a weapon for you! And you’re sure to have a great time using it.
Need a Little Extra Kick?
But the fun doesn’t stop there!
If the weapon you’re rocking isn’t quite quenching your thirst for blood, you can hit one of the many workbenches around the city to equip all kinds of perks and modifications.
Perks can make your weapons reload faster, more durable, and hit that extra bit harder.
Try fitting your sledgehammer with a caustic modification so that each blow melts flesh while crushing the bones beneath.
Or attach a shock mod to your machete so that you zap zombies with each slice.
Legendary Weapons
Certain quests in Dead Island 2 will have you searching HELL-A for the rarest-tier loot.
These missions aren’t easy, but the deadly rewards they yield make them more than worthwhile.
A flaming war scythe and even a handheld grenade launcher are just a couple of the weapons you’ll be able to get your hands on.
The Ultimate Weapon
Oh, and we forgot to mention: you’ve been bitten, and the virus that has turned everyone else into mindless cannibals is coursing through your veins.
But you haven’t gone full zombie mode – quite the opposite -- you’re managing to keep your humanity (so far) with a few extra boons.
What does this mean? As long as your meter’s full, you can call on your inner zombie by launching into Fury Mode anytime.
When activated, you can rip enemies apart with your bare hands, smash the ground like an angry gorilla to topple anyone nearby, spit caustic acid pools, unleash ear-bleedingly loud screams, and much more.
No matter what your preferred method is, you’ll have a blast wading through hordes of the undead in Dead Island 2.
