Playable Characters in Dead Island 2
In Dead Island 2, you can choose from six playable characters - or Slayers- three males and three females. When the game starts, you'll see all of the characters making their way to a plane they plan to use to escape the living hell that is now LA due to the zombie outbreak. However, things quickly take a turn, the slayers get stranded in Hell-A, and you must choose one of the six survivors to play as. This decision is crucial as you won't be able to change your character throughout the rest of the story (but you'll be able to create a different save file with another slayer if you end up not liking the one you chose).
Each character has a different set of attributes. For example, one character might excel at agility but have terrible toughness. In contrast, another might have the same amount of agility and toughness. This means that the best character for you will be the one that best fits your play style.
Besides attributes, each character has exclusive skills; some are innate for that character, meaning you'll unlock them just by selecting a character, while others you'll have to earn while playing the game.
