Dead Island 2 Legendary Weapons Guide – Best Weapons, How to Get

Dead Island 2 Legendary Weapons Guide

Among the several weapon options that Dead Island 2 has for players, there are a handful of Legendary Weapons that are better than any other type of weapon that you can use in combat. From Emma’s Wrath to the Brutalizer, each Legendary Weapon comes with its own perks and mods that make it even more powerful. This Dead Island 2 Legendary Weapons Guide will show you how you can get Legendary weapons, how to use them, and what mods/perks they come with.

Dead Island 2 Legendary Weapons Guide

Legendary Weapons aren’t going to be easy to obtain, especially considering that the game makes them available in the very late stages of the story. If you are just getting started with Dead Island 2, you are unlikely to get one until you play a significant amount of the game. Having said that, the Legendary Weapons are very fun to use and provide a very satisfying way of killing zombies, and will likely make you come back into the action with every Legendary Weapon you have in your inventory.
