Dead Island 2 Zombies: All Enemies & Boss Fights

Dead Island 2 Zombies – The most common enemy in Dead Island is the infected. These enemies were once human but have been transformed by the virus that has spread across the island. Infected move slowly and attack with their fists. Walkers are another type of infected, but they move faster than the standard infected and attack with their teeth and claws.

Thugs are large, muscular infected humans that can deal heavy melee attacks and take a lot of damage. Suiciders are infected humans that have been rigged with explosives. They run at the player and will explode when they get close. Floaters are infected humans that have mutated to the point where they can shoot a projectile vomit at the player from a distance.

Rams are large infected humans that are incredibly strong and can charge at the player with a devastating attack. Butchers are infected humans that have been outfitted with makeshift weapons like machetes and axes. In addition to these human enemies, the island is also home to infected animals such as wolves and crocodiles that will attack the player.

In order to survive in Dead Island 2, players must learn to use a variety of weapons and skills effectively. The game requires players to use different tactics to defeat each type of enemy, making it a challenging and engaging experience for players. Overall, Dead Island offers a diverse set of enemies that keep players on their toes throughout the game.
