As you follow the road down you'll come across a group of guys standing on a roof who require your assistance in closing the gate. To do this you'll need to enter the area and fight off the zombie hoards including two Crushers. As you battle the Blue Crab boys will inform you that you need to press the button in the parking attendant booth. The button is broken so you'll need to find an alternative solution.

Dead Island 2 sets itself apart from other survival horror games by offering players an abundance of weapons to discover. While you may become attached to a particular weapon early on it's important to let go of lower-level weapons in favor of higher-level ones. Selling or dismantling surplus weapons is a wise move as you'll come across better items as you progress through the game. Certain special weapons and legendaries obtained through specific missions cannot be sold or dismantled so it's best to store them until you can upgrade them later in the game.

With a vast number of respawning zombies in Dead Island 2's semi-open world levels you may find yourself running past enemies at times. Watch out for specially named zombies and mutated Bursters Butchers Crushers Mutators Screamers and Slobbers. These named enemies drop keys to safes and chests which contain valuable loot and weapons. The mutated zombies provide body parts needed for the "Body Art" side quests and their organs can be used for powerful weapon upgrades. While you can ignore the basic zombies make sure to take down the stronger variants and named enemies whenever possible.About 14 years after the events of Dead Island, [12] the US military are forced to put Los Angeles under a full quarantine restricted zone due to a new and stronger zombie outbreak. As Los Angeles is being quarantined, six individuals (dubbed "Slayers") board one of the last evacuation flights out of the city: hustler Bruno Venturo, mechanic Carla Vidal, retail worker Dani Murphey, firefighter-themed stripper Ryan Cummers, athlete Amy Victors and stuntman Jacob Kastiel.

Dead Island 2 has had a torturous road to release, arriving on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, last-gen consoles and PC some nine years after the game was first revealed - but there's a surprising level of technical polish evident across every console version. Dead Island 2 also does more than you'd expect from a typical Unreal Engine 4 release, with some novel technical features added on by developers Dambusters that are definitely worth covering. One interesting mechanic that has been shown off in gameplay trailers is the frenzy ability. It comes from the zombie bite on your character's arm, and allows them to enter a state where they become momentarily zombified. It looks like a useful tool, one that allows you to tear through hordes of zombies with ease. Hurley, Leon (July 29, 2015). "Yager's fine. It's just the Dead Island 2 bit that's shut down".

There’s still glimpses of storyline though, with a touch of tongue in cheek gallows humour creeping in now and then. It will be interesting to see how this develops when the game launches in Spring 2015. Especially as Yager is citing Zombieland as its main influence for Dead Island 2. Good, Owen (June 9, 2014).

PS5, Series X and Series S also get improvements to shadow quality and effects work, plus environmental animations for trees - where the last-gen versions present them as static objects. However, all consoles use cube-mapping in places where SSR isn't applied, and the result is low resolution, static textures in some areas - which look particularly out of place on PS5 and Series X. Still, the shadow, effects and animation upgrades are neat extras even if they don't significantly change the look of the game, while the move to 60fps being much more impactful. Side-by-side, there are a few setting tweaks in terms of shadows and vegetation to separate last-gen and current-gen machines - but the game's visual makeup remains intact everywhere else. Interestingly Xbox Series S uses equivalent to the last-gen shadow setting, while Series X takes a step up in quality, but remains a preset below PS5's.In July 2015, Deep Silver announced that Yager had been dropped and that development would be moved to another unnamed developer. [19] The managing director of Yager Development, Timo Ullmann, later stated that the company's departure from the project occurred because "Yager and Deep Silver's respective visions of the project fell out of alignment". [20] Yager Productions filed for insolvency in July 2015. [21] Wilson, Iain (April 26, 2023). "Is Dead Island 2 open world?". GamesRadar . Retrieved June 11, 2023.
