Dead Island 2: Choose your Slayer!
Dead Island 2 features a cast of six playable slayers. To help you choose who you want to take on the undead as, we’ve put this handy blog together.
[h3]Below, you’ll find the lowdown on who they are and what their play style is like.[/h3]
Born and raised in LA, Amy is a young go-getting athlete with the goal of capturing paralympic gold firmly in her sights. Years of performing at the highest level of her sport have left her with the reflexes and agility needed to run circles around these undead chumps, but don’t let that fool you, she’s never one to shy away from a fight.

Amy is perfect for players who want to be quick on their feet, chaining dashes and attacks together to chip away at zombie’s health before putting them out of their misery. She also has high critical hit damage, meaning she can often drop zombies in a few shots.
Born and raised across the Pond in Brixton, London, Jacob had a successful career as a banker before deciding to trade it all in and pursue a life as a professional stuntman in Tinsel Town. This cheeky chap manages to keep a level head in the hairiest of situations, but he can throw down with any flesh muncher at a moment’s notice—and still look effortlessly cool while doing so.
[h5]Why play as Jacob?[/h5]
Jacob has the most health out of all the slayers meaning you can get close to zombies and whale on them to your heart’s content. You also don’t need to worry about him running out of gas, as he has stamina to boot.
Hailing from County Cork, Ireland, Dani left the Emerald Isle in search of adventure and partly to get away from her very traditional family. Never one to follow the crowd, she found herself at home in the punk scene, gracing the mosh pits across the city with her presence. She recently joined a local roller derby team, which she’s found to be the perfect way to let out some pent-up aggression.

Having the highest stamina makes Dani an unstoppable wrecking machine that can administer heavy blows without tiring. She also boasts impressive health stats, so you can relentlessly smash, stab, and maim zombies without care.
Hailing from Fresno California, Ryan is an exotic dancer with a sense of humor dryer than The Golden State’s climate. Performing under the stage name “The Big Hose” – due to his firefighter attire – Ryan often finds himself working under the bright lights of Los Angeles. Years of keeping himself in shape –mainly so that he can entertain bachelorette parties with his dancing pecs – makes him a formidable opponent for any zombie foolish enough to get in his way.
[h5]Why play as Ryan?[/h5]
Ryan has the best defensive stats in the game, which means he can block and repel zombies whenever they get too close. He also has high resistance to elemental damage such as electricity, fire, and caustic.
A motorcycle trick rider and mechanic, Carla was born in LA but lived a nomadic lifestyle prior to the outbreak. Usually covered in engine grease, years of turning wrenches -- and her preference for free weights over Pilates -- mean she’d probably kick your ass in an arm wrestle. Not one to dwell on a bad situation, she brings an infectiously positive attitude to the zompocalypse and can often be heard giggling in delight while dispatching the undead.
[h5]Why play as Carla?[/h5]
Out of all six slayers, Carla is the most resistant to elemental damage. If zombies are on fire, electrified, or even spitting acid, you need not worry; she’s got the situation handled. She also has high defence stats just in case they get close.
The hustler with a heart of gold, Bruno is LA’s very own Robin Hood. He targets the scammers and corporate grifters of the world to protect those lower down the food chain. Blessed with a sharp wit and even sharper reflexes, he’s always one step ahead of his opponent, which is how he’s managing to stay alive in HELL-A.
[h5]Why play as Bruno?[/h5]
The man with all the luck, Bruno has the best critical hit rate of all six slayers. He’s also incredibly agile, which allows him to dash out of the way, reposition, and launch potentially massive damage off-angle attacks at zombies.
Whoever you pick, we know that you’ll have a blast painting the streets of Hollywood red with zombie guts.
