Dead Island 2 is finally available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles, and the latest saga has been released after many years of delay. When it comes to in-game weapons, there's plenty to choose from. Like the first game, Dead Island 2 puts emphasis on melee weapons, some of which are quite fun. However, if you wish to keep your distance from the monsters, guns are the perfect solution.
While all available weapons can be used effectively, some are better than others. This also applies to guns, which makes it important to choose the best ones possible.
Dead Island 2 has some terrific guns to choose from
The number of guns available in Dead Island 2 is somewhat limited compared to most shooters, but each gun feels unique and will allow plenty of diversity in how it works. Here are the ones that have stood out according to the community:
Short-Barreled shotgun
Shotguns in Dead Island 2 are quite effective, irrespective of the one used. The Red Dragon is an amazing gun that doesn't unlock early in the game. The Assault Shotgun is easier to use, but ammo management is a big issue. The Short-Barreled Shotgun is the perfect solution; it does enough damage and doesn't run out of ammo frequently.
It's worth noting, though, that shotguns will need to be modded properly and have their limitations when you're swarmed by zombies in the game.
Hunting Rifle
While many might think the shotgun is the king of damage, that's not true. The Hunting Rifle in Dead Island 2 has amazing damage potential and can obliterate even the hardest enemies. Its only weakness is its reduced fire rate, so it's important to know when to use it.
The best situation to use the Hunting Rifle is when combating a single zombie with high health. Since it's unlikely to be a big swarm, the slower fire rate shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Auto Carbine
When swarmed by an army of zombies, the Auto Carbine rifle — the game's version of the M4 or M16 — is the perfect choice. It has a high fire rate, which allows you to switch quickly between targets. The damage might not be as high as in the two previous entries, but it's enough to finish off weaker zombies.
