Dead Island 2 is all about beating or shooting zombies until they're reduced to a bloody pulp, but to do that, you're going to need some weapons. Thankfully, there are hundreds of weapons available for you to scavenge, earn, or purchase as you explore Hell-A, with each one fitting into a handful of distinct categories. Some of these are even unique, and have functionalities that no other piece of gear in the game can spawn or be modded with.
It can be difficult to know which weapons are the strongest with a sandbox this huge, especially since each playable character synergizes well with different types.
