Hereā€™s a quick overview of each slayerā€™s traits, some things to watch out for early in the game, and a tutorial. In future posts, Iā€™ll be posting walkthroughs for all quests, including story, side quests, lockboxes, and HAUS.

ā€» Dead Island 2 has a reputation for being the ultimate in gore and horror. If you donā€™t want to see that, please, donā€™t read this article.

In this walkthrough, I played as Jacob, Ryan, and Bruno.
Below are my favorite slayers, listed in order of play.

I havenā€™t played as Carla, but Amy and Dani in the HAUS expansion, when attacked by mutants and other things, their damage drops, so Iā€™ve been playing as Jacob, Ryan, and Bruno lately. This is my playstyle, so it may be different for you.

Somehow, I feel like Amy, Carla, and Dani are lacking something, and maybe itā€™s because Iā€™m a guy.

If I missed anything, Iā€™ll update later.

šŸŽÆ Survival Tip: Zombies for Practice

When there are more than three attacking zombies and youā€™re not in a narrow passageway, itā€™s advantageous to attack with moderate dodging, as theyā€™ll come from all directions.

They may come one by one, as shown on the left above, or all three may come together, as shown on the right.

When using melee weapons to attack Samblers or Walkers, as is the case now, it is advantageous to alternate between head and leg attacks.

This game is a basic tutorial, so you can just follow the tutorial. However, itā€™s hard to see at first because of the red light above, so itā€™s easy to play if youā€™re not in a hurry.

ā© How to skip cutscenes

Cutscenes can be skipped by holding down the spacebar.

The status bar that appears in the lower left corner of the screen when you press the spacebar

You will have no problem playing the game without watching the cutscenes, as the objective of the game is shown for the most part, so if you find them annoying, skip them.

There is only one place where skipping a cutscene will cause problems, and itā€™s right before the boss fight with ā€œBecki the Brideā€ in the Halperin Hotel. If you can defeat the ā€œCrusherā€ without much help, feel free to skip it. Itā€™s only an issue if youā€™re picking up fuel, caustics, etc. from the area. If you skip it, youā€™ll lose everything you brought with you.

šŸŽÆ Survival Tip: Loot lots of weapons, preferably strong ones~

If youā€™re new to the game, leaving dropped weapons in place can cause you to struggle early on.

Also, when dropping a wheel, which is a weapon throwing exercise, donā€™t use a strong weapon, use something you can throw away, like the weakest Burnt Timber! You can also retrieve dropped weapons.

Practice throwing and picking up weapons

Since this is a game about survival, youā€™ll need to collect everything you can, whether itā€™s salvaging weapons to disassemble later or selling them to merchants to raise money.

This is fine until you get to Belair or the Halperin Hotel, but after that you will have a hard time getting weapons, materials, money, or upgrading your weapons if you donā€™t level up your weapons enough.

The game requires you to travel to and from an area many times, and different quests will change the places you can go and the items you can get. Therefore, itā€™s helpful to complete as many side quests and loot (lockboxes) as possible to get the weapons, blueprints, materials, etc. you need.

Itā€™s also important to acquire and dispose of weapons that you can get repeatedly from time to time.

In the next post, Iā€™ll begin a series of walkthroughs of Dead Island 2ā€™s story, each quest, and looting.
