[h3]See You in HELL-A![/h3]

When the city you live in is overrun with flesh-eating freaks, having adequate protection is critical to staying off the menu.

Luckily, in Dead Island 2, Los Angeles (or, as the locals call it, HELL-A) is littered with all kinds of weaponry to equip you for the task at hand.

Like to get up close and personal? We’ve got knuckle dusters, katars, and bear claws to keep you satisfied.

Fancy yourself a bit of a swordsman? Grab a katana or a claymore and start hacking the rotten arms and legs off zombies (just be sure to finish them off).

Tired of smelling stale zombie breath all the time? You’ll find pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, and even nail guns, all perfect for dismantling the undead from afar.

Whether you like to slice, dice, maim, decapitate, or dismember your foes, there’s a weapon for you! And you’re sure to have a great time using it.



[h3]Need a Little Extra Kick?[/h3]

But the fun doesn’t stop there!

If the weapon you’re rocking isn’t quite quenching your thirst for blood, you can hit one of the many workbenches around the city to equip all kinds of perks and modifications.

Perks can make your weapons reload faster, more durable, and hit that extra bit harder.

Try fitting your sledgehammer with a caustic modification so that each blow melts flesh while crushing the bones beneath.

Or attach a shock mod to your machete so that you zap zombies with each slice.



[h3]Legendary Weapons[/h3]

Certain quests in Dead Island 2 will have you searching HELL-A for the rarest-tier loot.

These missions aren’t easy, but the deadly rewards they yield make them more than worthwhile.

A flaming war scythe and even a handheld grenade launcher are just a couple of the weapons you’ll be able to get your hands on.



[h3]The Ultimate Weapon[/h3]

Oh, and we forgot to mention: you’ve been bitten, and the virus that has turned everyone else into mindless cannibals is coursing through your veins.

But you haven’t gone full zombie mode – quite the opposite -- you’re managing to keep your humanity (so far) with a few extra boons.

What does this mean? As long as your meter’s full, you can call on your inner zombie by launching into Fury Mode anytime.

When activated, you can rip enemies apart with your bare hands, smash the ground like an angry gorilla to topple anyone nearby, spit caustic acid pools, unleash ear-bleedingly loud screams, and much more.



[h5]No matter what your preferred method is, you’ll have a blast wading through hordes of the undead in Dead Island 2. [/h5]

[h3]See You in HELL-A![/h3]

There’s nowhere else in the world quite like Los Angeles, and that doesn’t change just because the beaches and boulevards are over-run with walking, crawling biters.

In Dead Island 2 you can explore it’s best-loved areas and sights, from the movie star mansions and celebrity pads of Bel-Air to the sand and surf of Venice Beach. Keep an eye out for makeshift weapons and other useful stuff in the palatial homes and local stores. You’re going to need them!

But why not go beyond the usual tourist traps? The suburbs of Beverly Hills are full of fine folks who could use a little help with nuisance neighbours. Or take time out to sip cocktails by the pool at the glamorous Halperin Hotel. Make sure you check the rooms for useful materials and weapon blueprints.
You could visit the legendary Monarch Studios and see the sound stages where classic sci-fi movies and hit sitcoms are made. Maybe there’s a part for you fighting zombies in a bloodthirsty action sequence. Make the most of the effects and props!



When you’re done, head out to Hollywood. See where the stars hang out and visit its iconic movie theatres. Or ride the metro out to Santa Monica, and stroll along the boardwalk, slaying any zombies that spoil the sunset views.

Hurt and hungry? You’ll find Energy Drinks and Protein Bars Grab in the local restaurants – if you don’t get bitten first. While you’re there, enjoy the thrill rides on the world-famous pier, or get your adrenaline rush the old-fashioned way, slashing and smashing through the walking dead.

Need to crash? There are great hotels on Ocean Avenue, and you can pick up everything you need while you explore one of Hell A’s finest shopping malls. Just be sure to give your fellow shoppers a wide berth.

[h3]Meet the locals[/h3]

Of course, you’re not going to get the city of angels to yourself. Everywhere you go you’ll be hounded by its shambling Walkers; your classic slow-moving, mindless Zeke. Bash them, thrash them, and lure them into your own ingenious traps.

You might have a tougher time with the Runners. These quick-moving, freshly turned zombies never want to play by the rules, and they’ve got the speed and the aggression to close in fast.

What’s worse, the arrival of the army and emergency workers onto the streets of LA has inadvertently amped up the danger factor. Think zombie civilians are bad enough? How about zombies in hazmat suits and riot suits that make even harder to kill?

Who are those undead dudes with the tanks of skin-melting corrosive fluid? And watch out for the mindless zombie grunts packing high explosives. They’re hell-bent on going out with a bang.

Worse, there are stranger forms of zombie out there with all kinds of weird mutations. Some come buzzing with swarming insects that you won’t easily swat away. Others are determined to hit you with a nasty shock.



[h3]Apex predators[/h3]

If you’re really unlucky, you’ll run into LA’s Apex Zombies, ranging from the Crusher -musclebound creeps with a superhuman slam - to the bloated, acid-vomiting Slobber.

Steer well clear of the Butcher. This guy’s got razer-sharp bones where his arms ought to be. If you haven’t mastered your block and dodge moves, you might end up as zombie chow.

Stay even further away from the gruesome Burster. These dangerously explosive throbbing humanoid pustules could blow at any minute.

And keep an ear out for the Screamer. These karaoke-killing uber-zombies will do more than hurt your ears with their sonic shockwave shrieks. They’ll slow you down just when you’re in reach of their hungry zombie chums.



[h3]Enjoy Hell-A[/h3]

All that’s just a flavour of what you can expect in the city of flowers and sunshine as the starlet and hipsters turn into gut-munching ghouls and the streets run red with blood. Even greater horrors await you in the malls and mansions, so be sure to pack your biggest weapons and your most brutal finishing moves.

Hell-A is waiting for you, and its locals are always primed to party hard.
