Choose the best weapons in Dead Island 2.
Set in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, Dead Island 2 will let you take the role of a zombie slayer. In the first couple of minutes of the game, your evacuation flight will be touching the ground, you will be surrounded by hordes of zombies, and in the next couple of minutes, you will go nuts while going through the killing rampage. However, Dead Island 2 promises to make some slight differences to stay a level higher than the other zombie franchises.
Beyond combat, you will get to experience the glamorous landmarks that are now covered in blood and gore. Players can tour Bel Air’s gated communities, Venice’s sandy beaches, and Hollywood’s star-studded streets in a more surreal environment.
And yes, you need weapons; a lot of weapons to charge through the hordes of those undead. Dead Island 2 has a wide variety of weapons in the stash. From wrenches and baseball bats to firefighter axes, everything harmful to a baby can be used against those zombies. So without further ado, let’s give you a breakdown of the best weapons to choose from in Dead Island 2.

Top 5 Best Weapons
Among the superabundance of modifications for weapons, in below are the cream of the crop.
5. Wildstyle
The Wildstyle axe in Dead Island 2 is quite unique than the other weapons. It deals great elemental damage by setting zombies on fire. The appearance is colorful, looks cool, and can easily spread burning fuel. With this perk, you can clear hordes of zombies in a moment.
Complete the End of the Line story quest, and you will receive a request from Rosa. This will initiate the Art of War side quest. You will then have to run back to the Metro to pick up some “groceries.” There you will find the DBD Chest that will contain the Wildstyle.
4. The One
It is The only One that aims directly at the head. With the Headhunter perk, this weapon gets a complete showdown. Moreover, you can make explosions and shockwaves; both are useful tactics for offense and defense. That same explosion will also heal you in this case, so it pulls double duty.
Now, to get The One, you need to complete a series of quests that involve both Sebastian and Sarah Sheppard. Complete the game and meet Sebastian at the Hollywood Boulevard safe room. And that is how you can stash The One.
3. Big Shot
The Big Shot revolver might look ordinary, but it’s actually a shotgun that fires explosive rounds. It’s perfect for crowd control and has a built-in perk that makes it deadly. This legendary-tier weapon is great for clearing paths and saving yourself from being swarmed by zombies. Just aim for the weak points, and let the fireworks-like explosion do the work.
To get the Big Shot revolver, complete the side quest It’s Not Your Fault. Luciana will assign you this quest, and for that, you need to pay a visit to Emma’s Mansion.
2. Brutalizer
The Brutalizer is a machete-type weapon that makes zombie-fighting feel like a brutal industrial process. This weapon has great perks, including Bloodlust, which makes it easy to maim zombies. Combine it with The Limb Reaper skill card to keep your health up while slicing and dicing the undead.
Complete all Six Body Art side quests in Beverly Hills to obtain the Brutalizer by collecting special infected parts such as Oversized Arm Bones, Chthonic Ichor, Infected Spines, Blade Arms, and Mutated Hearts.
1. Emma’s Wrath
This is a unique Legendary-tier sledgehammer that is awarded for completing the final mission in the main story of the game. You will get a built-in superior impact mod and shockwave feature on knockdowns. Needless to say, it starts the deal without having an opponent of its level.
And that is all I had in stash for the Top 5 best weapons in Dead Island 2. Check out all the playable characters, and all the trophies and achievements in Dead Island 2.
