And we can thank the game’s extensive and exotic arsenal of weapons for that.
That’s why we’ve got you covered with the best weapons inDead Island 2, in this list.
Peggy
Melee weapons remain the most reliable and satisfying style of combat inDead Island 2.
That being said, you will need to rely on some firepower from time to time.
One of the best weapons, in that case, is the Peggy hunting rifle.
Its massive damage output is ideal for chunking down higher-health zombies or bosses.
There are only two legendary guns inDead Island 2, and the Bodycount is one of them.
It has a 30-round mag cartridge and sizable damage with each bullet.
Blood Rage
Alright back to the focus: melee weapons.
If you’re looking for a swift and efficient melee weapon, Blood Rage is the way to go.
Even better, this legendary dagger is an Easter Egg that pays respect to the former game.
Making it the preferred choice for fans of the originalDead Island.
The quest itself is a little tricky but well worth your trouble.
Big Shot
We know we said to steer clear of pistols.
That’s because one of its two locked perks includes explosive rounds.
If that’s not awesome enough already, it fires three explosive rounds at once.
As a result, it’s one of the best weapons for clearing out waves of zombies.
The Big Shot is a legendary revolver, and the only other legendary gun alongside the Bodycount.
Wildstyle
Axes are another staple in zombie games.
Furthermore, this can cause zombies you’ve struck or killed to melt into a pool of burning fuel.
Then any zombies that walk through it will also catch fire, resulting in one big bonfire.
It’s a hacking and slashing machine complete with jagged edges that is bloody fun to use literally.
Emma’s Wrath
The undisputed choice for the best weapon inDead Island 2is Emma’s Wraith.
It’s a hybrid axe/sledgehammer that fully annihilates zombies in a single blow.
Nonetheless, it’s more incentive to do so.
