Dead Island 2: all the Legendary Weapons in the game

There are plenty of ways to kill zombies in Dead Island 2, but if you’re looking for the rarest and most awesome weapons in the game, we’ll tell you where to find all the Legendary weapons.

Dead Island 2 avance

If you’ve been playing Dead Island 2, you already know that weapons get weird and awesome really quickly. One moment you’re wielding machetes made out of plane wreckage, the other you have an electric katana, or a hammer that spits fire, or a gun that shoots acid. It’s pretty fun, but there’s an entire category of special and unique armaments that you can’t find easily: Legendary Weapons.

You might have heard of them already, but in case you don’t know what they are we’ll help you out. Legendary weapons are the highest tier of rarity you can find in Dead Island 2, all of them unique and with special names and ways to get them. Each of them comes with special perks and mods that can’t be removed, as well as slots to personalize them even more.

The problem with these is that you can only get them as rewards for completing late-game missions, so it’s better to think of them as “end-game” content. They are powerful, but you’ll mostly use them after finishing up the game’s main story and missions.

There’s a total of eight Legendary weapons in the game, which you’ll be able to find below. We’ll share you their unique mods and perks, and without going into many spoilers we’ll also tell you what mission you need to complete to get them.
