Weapon Rarity

In Dead Island 2, there are six levels of weapon rarity:

1. Improvised – The weakest weapons with low stats and low durability.
2. Common – These weapons are marked in white.
3. Uncommon – These weapons are marked in green.
4. Rare – These weapons are marked in blue.
5. Superior – These weapons are marked in purple.
6. Legendary – These weapons are marked in orange.

All weapons can be leveled up to level 30. The current level of a weapon affects its base statistics, such as attack.

How Weapon Rarity Affects Statistics

Rare weapons have more slots for weapon perks:

1. Uncommon weapons have 2 perk slots.
2. Rare weapons have 3 perk slots.
3. Superior and legendary weapons have 4 perk slots.

It\’s important to note that some slots have fixed perks, which are locked and cannot be changed. Some slots may also have weapon mods, which can either be locked or allow you to choose one.

How to Find Rare Weapons

The rarity of weapons changes as you progress through the game. In the beginning, you\’ll have to use common and uncommon weapons. However, rare and superior weapons will start to appear more frequently as you progress (as loot, rewards, and in stores).

Legendary weapons can only be received as quest rewards and cannot be found as random loot.

Weapons with Unique Names

As you progress through the game, you can earn weapons with unique names, which are mostly rewards for completing quests. These items cannot be sold or dismantled, but they can be upgraded further. They may also have unique base statistics.

FAQ

What are the different weapon rarities in Dead Island 2?

In Dead Island 2, weapons are divided into 5 different rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Common weapons are the most basic and can be easily found throughout the game. Uncommon weapons are slightly better in terms of damage and durability. Rare weapons are much harder to come by and offer a significant boost in damage and durability compared to the previous two rarities. Epic weapons are even rarer and offer a substantial increase in damage and unique perks. Legendary weapons are the rarest and most powerful, with unique abilities that can be game-changing.

How can I obtain higher rarity weapons in Dead Island 2?

The higher the weapon rarity, the harder it is to obtain. Common and Uncommon weapons can be found throughout the game world and purchased from vendors. Rare weapons can only be found in specific locations or by completing certain quests. Epic and Legendary weapons are extremely rare and can only be obtained through completing specific challenges or found in hidden locations. Additionally, players can upgrade their weapons using Blueprints found throughout the game world, which can increase the weapon\’s rarity and overall effectiveness. It\’s important to note that weapon rarity does not always determine the best weapon for a particular playstyle, as certain weapons may have unique abilities or stats that make them more effective than higher rarity weapons.
