long awaited blood dead island 2 Released todayand almost after waited ten years, I think I have a few questions. The game shares a peaceful and embarrassing sense of humor with the first game in 2011. dead islandrepeatedly calling the threatening environment “hell”, cruel enough to actually justify the zombified dad jokes, but it’s also changed in an important way. is here for the first time, and playing on modern consoles has its own idiosyncrasies.

This new series completes Studio MAPPA’s dark trilogy

The unknown is scary.But I’ll guide you through and tell you everything you wish someone had told you before you started playing. dead island 2.


How to unlock co-op

dead island 2employs co-op play, much like the original, allowing players to employ a series of unique playable characters (in this case, six) against an endless onslaught of jaw-dislocated zombies. .

Play the first three main story missions to enable co-op in the new game. Co-op is unlocked with his fourth, aptly named “Call the Cavalry”, and can be used by up to two people by selecting either “Online Options” or “Social” when prompted. You can add players to your game.

Once co-op is enabled, you can accept a friend’s request to join the game, or from the main menu, as long as you are at or before the same point in the game.[参加]can be selected for a random multiplayer pairing. Quest progress is saved in co-op, so you can play the entire game while switching between single-player and multiplayer at will.

However, there is no crossplay.

I know it’s annoying but you should spam the “pick up” button

Just as the Amazon continues to change our planet Abandoned Funko Pop Landfill, dead island 2 The environment is full of things. Upgrade materials such as glue, aerosols, and blades are raining down on tables, inside closed drawers, and felled.

Forget the hassles of storage management. In the zombie apocalypse everyone is a scavenger. pick up things All of it. As long as you regularly upgrade your weapons with the materials you find, dead island 2 Stock is surprisingly bottomless.

Having upgrade materials on hand saves time when you’re on the sporadic upgrade workbench. These benches allow you to “track down” missing materials, but are most useful when you have materials ready to go, repairing broken weapons or making them even stronger just before your next battle. can.

To create space, scrap wooden planks and other worthless weapons and sell real weapons to traders to make a lot of money. Upgrade Materials allow you to create weapon mods, upgrades, and repairs, but they actually require money to purchase.

Tradeoffs have to be made between special mods and attack power

As you progress through the game, you can unlock and find miscellaneous weapon blueprints (often conveniently located directly above undiscovered workbenches). Also includes upgrades that increase weapon damage output.

The constant influx of shiny toys is understandably tempting, but be aware that extreme weapon mods and upgrades aren’t always compatible. , clearly states that specific mods must be equipped, but common upgrades, such as damage that increases weapon damage, lose their overall potency when combined with mods. Before you irrevocably change it on your workbench, make sure you have a plan for what kind of weapon you ultimately want to use.

The Slaughter is the perfect weapon upgrade

There’s a lot to consider with the game’s wide range of weapon customization options, but I think upgrading Slaughter in particular should be a priority.

It is most compatible with gliding weapons such as katanas and hunting knives, as it allows you to hack limbs more efficiently, but it also increases weapon durability.

dead island 2 Weapons break uncomfortably quickly, leaving you suddenly barehanded in the middle of an encounter.

You can track weapon damage by looking at the consumption meter in the bottom right corner of the screen, but adding Slaughter is recommended to avoid it. Don’t forget to repair your favorite weapon whenever you’re near the workbench, too.

You Can’t Bulldoze In Combat—Learn To Dodge

apart from dead island 2has quickly established a reputation as a headless mass bloodshed event, and any attempt to aimlessly plow through a field of growling zombies will be quickly killed, destroying weapon stashes even faster.

To protect both yourself and your weapon, practice dodging or tapping L1 in the blink of an eye before a zombie strikes —and i really mean split seconds.

It took me some time to master the timing. It’s a good idea to practice by picking out rogue zombies you encounter while exploring the environment, not necessarily in the middle of a stressful main mission. , can launch a counter-attack that stuns zombies and melts their health.

Now for the fireworks.

Use their own powers to counter them when the zombie mob descends

Just as each playable Slayer has its own unique advantages, so does every zombie you encounter with their own violent traits.

Most of them are thematic and obvious.Similarly, a shriveled zombie surrounded by blue sparks will eventually release a giant blast of electricity or a crunchy zombie that is completely soaked Being in flames will set you on fire when you touch them.

Be aware of these quirks and use them to your advantage when facing a seemingly unruly zombie horde. Throw fuel cans at fire zombies to trigger his AoE eruption in the distance that kills nearby zombies. Some zombies use electro-mod weapons to pierce the canister of water he carries on his back, turning puddles into live wire traps.

And don’t forget to use Fury Mode once it’s accessible in-game. This builds up as you kill zombies, imbuing you with their destructive power for a short period of time.

Be sure to level up.However, it’s not always as important as you might think

As soon as you reach a boss fight in the main game, or a wild enemy with a skull over your head, someone who’s a higher level than you, you’ll quickly feel the power disparity.

To avoid being overwhelmed by enemies that are too strong, take a look at the recommended levels for the main story and side quests to make sure your natural level-up matches them before attempting.

but you don’t offal Try to be at the recommended level of the chapter or enemy. Most of the time, especially in rogue combat where you spend most of your time, leveling up makes a barely discernible difference in terms of damage output or defense. This is reflected in the numbers displayed next to their names.

If you get stuck in the main story, switch to lucrative side quests

If you haven’t reached the right level to complete the main level chapters (at least not too much), don’t worry. There are 33 side quests to choose from.

By exploring new environments, answering radio calls, and chatting with friendly NPCs, you can unlock these without even trying.

Before tackling the side quests, though,[クエスト]Open the tab, check the rewards listed, and consider the main story objectives. Want to level up as fast as possible? Choose side quests that give you tons of XP.Are all your weapons bad and you need something more specialspeaking? Participate in side quests that gift special weapons. Have fun while being practical. Kill responsibly.

Don’t hesitate to customize your low-stakes skill deck

Skill card deck slots are unlocked as you progress through levels, the main story, and side quests. Get a skill card after hitting the “Pickup” button, or kill for them

Since you can rearrange and culling decks at any time, Experiment with intriguing skill cards. The benefits of most skills are vague enough and specific to the type of kick or way to restore health, so choosing them will never feel like success or failure. It’s like deciding if you need a .

Did you know you have voice control?

dead island 2 I was puzzled at first because it has its own voice control system as someone who knows how use ccomputerbut barely.

Speak scripted commands to swap weapons, taunt zombies, or engage in extremely powerful Fury Mode.among others, the microphone and your Amazon account.

To enable, enter your Amazon account information into[オプション]of the menu[Alexa Game Control]connect to the section,[音声コマンド]but[有効]Make sure it is set to Select your preferred input audio device. Read the available commands for voice control in the tutorial section and think like me if Jeff Bezos can hear you scream.
