Dead Island 2 gameplay

The game world is divided into 10 areas, which you can explore freely. But to move between zones, you need to use zone exits. As you play, you can unlock fast travel points to move quickly.

You can use ranged and melee weapons in the game. Each weapon can be customized using mods to gain special effects and perks to alter your stats. The “FLESH” system creates wounds based on the weapon used, making zombie dismemberment look realistic.

Weapons have different rarities, with rare and advanced weapons being more powerful. You can also use the environment to your advantage, such as throwing electric weapons into the water to shock enemies. However, weapons degrade and break over time, but you can repair them at a workbench.

Compared to previous games, Dead Island 2 has no skill tree. Instead, it uses a deck-building system. The Skill Deck has four categories: Abilities, Survivors, Killers, and Souls. Ability cards provide new active skills, some of which can be used in berserk mode for powerful attacks. Survivor cards can increase health and stamina, killer cards can provide passive combat abilities, and soul cards can unlock powerful special abilities. There are also “autophagy” cards that provide benefits but also weaken your abilities. You can earn these cards by completing missions, leveling up, and defeating special enemies.
