Dead Island 2 | Part 3 Gameplay Walkthrough

Dead Island 2 follows a zombie outbreak in Los Angeles, dubbed "Hell-A." The game takes place several months after the events of the original Dead Island, as the infection spreads from Banoi to the mainland. When the government fails to contain the virus, they quarantine California, effectively trapping the survivors with the infected.

Players assume the role of a “Slayer,” one of six unique characters who are immune to the virus. Each Slayer has distinct personalities, skill sets, and abilities, which they harness to fight off the infected hordes and uncover the truth behind the outbreak. Alongside this immunity, the Slayer possesses "fury powers" that allow them to unleash devastating attacks in battle.

As the player travels through the various districts of Los Angeles, they meet other survivors, including scientists and military officials, who offer missions to help understand the nature of the infection. The game's plot dives into the scientific experiments surrounding the virus and explores why some individuals possess immunity, suggesting a link between the virus and an ancient biological weapon.

Ultimately, the storyline unearths disturbing secrets about the government’s role in the outbreak and the potential for a cure. The player’s decisions impact their journey through Hell-A, filled with action, dark humor, and an emphasis on over-the-top combat in a zombie-ridden version of Los Angeles.
