Dead Island 2launched with six Slayers, and each one of them is designed differently.
Some are tough and serious while others take the zombie apocalypse lightly.
How much time will you be spending in the world of Dead Island 2?
Want to go fast and take down solo zombies?
The game has a Slayer for that.
Or if you want to be the tank and take on damage?
Yep, theres a Slayer for that too.
While they lack the immunity and zombie-induced superpowers, they make up for it with their pluck and teamwork.
Though not technically Slayers, they still deserve a spot for the heroism the do on the streets.
(And being playable characters.)
Unfortunately, her high charisma does diddly to the mindless undead.
Her kit is underpowered, especially her Bond move which fires proximity-armed electric grenades.
They don’t one-shot regular infected and even a full clip might not finish off the beefier specials.
Sure, the utility of laying traps is kinda cool, but ultimately just isnt useful enough.
Her signature skills also leave much to be desired.
While the sticky bomb is a nice free grenade, her sprays arent effective enough to warrant using them.
8Bozzy
Southern-Fried Hunter
In terms of cool factor, Bozzys kit is the best.
It consists of a high-power crossbow, a throwing knife, and less cool firecrackers.
Hes a headhunter at heart, with his throwing knives having a short cooldown and big damage.
Personality-wise, Boz is pretty likeable, if a bit goofy.
Lets just say that whether you like puns or not will affect your feelings towards him.
His Bond is also ridiculously powerful, comparable to the Slayers themselves.
6Dani
The Comic Explosion
Dani is by far the best Slayer in Dead Island 2.
Not only her Innate Skills are explosive, but so is her personality.
If you like witty and sometimes sarcastic characters, Dani is sure to win your hearts.
She is simply one of thebest characters in the game.
Her responses to everything happening around her are hilarious, and its always fun to play as her.
Fair warning though, her heavy attacks will ignite nearby oil or even make containers explode.
So take care where you use heavy attacks.
The only downside is the health recovery, which is the worst of all slayers.
Keeping Ryan alive is easy in the game thanks to his five points in toughness.
He also gets a force boost after dodging or blocking attacks and can push down enemies with ease.
Ryan has ample health, and good resilience to withstand elemental damage as well.
The only negative is his agility, so he wont be moving around fast.
With strong tanking abilities, he doesn’t need to run away anyway.
Ryan is a well-balanced character that is easy to play and can be deadly with the right perks.
Fighting zombies can be even more streamlined with these changes to Dead Island 2.
On the other hand, his innate skill, Feral, gives him a damage bonus when attacking rapidly.
Plus, Critical Gains gives him a critical damage boost and stamina regeneration when he lands critical attacks.
Keep on hitting the critical points, and youll do consistently high damage.
She can swap weapons rapidly and is focused on ranged combat.
Weapon throws give her stamina back, and she gets a minor damage increase when attacking isolated zombies.
Repositioning and attacking is her mode of aggression and it works.
If you lovethrowing weaponsat your enemies, youll love her playstyle.
The weapon throws arent like they used to be, but its still a lot of fun.
Its one of the differences returning Dead Island players will notice.
2Carla
Crowd Favorite
Carla is all about working the crowd.
She has the highest resilience in the game so she can withstand a ton of elemental damage.
Her second innate skill gives her a toughness boost when her health is critical.
Therefore, you’re able to stay inside the hoard for longer and deal massive damage.
She also has a funny personality, so youll enjoy her responses and dialogues.
Combine her with some of the best perks in the game and youll bedestroying even special zombiesleft and right.
1Bruno
The Silent jot down
Bruno has the highest critical damage among his partners.
This makes him perfect for critical builds and taking down zombies faster.
His first skill, Backstab, gives him a moderate damage boost when attacking zombies at the back.
While playing solo, it can be hard to hit zombies from behind unless you try doing stealth.
However, his skill comes in handy when the zombies are focused on your co-op teammates.
Avoiding zombie attacks with dodge or block gives him an agility boost and charges heavy attacks faster.
He isnt bad but his innate skills are suited for co-op adventures.
