Dead Island 2 SOLA Expansion Brings Back a Classic Dead Island Weapon

Dambuster Studios’ Dead Island 2 SOLA expansion is out today, and the developer has revealed details on what to expect, including the return of a classic weapon.

Dead Island 2 SOLA expansion rips into the zombie hordes

In the Dead Island 2 SOLA expansion brings a whole new area to explore, as well as a new story where a deadly virus sweeps through The Valley, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies as a chthonic rhythm calls from beyond: the beat of the Autophage. Lured to the festival by an enigmatic warning message, players must explore SOLA’s ruins and put a stop to this otherworldly menace.

Luckily, SOLA packs in two new legendary weapons, giving you even more ways to slice, dice, disembowel, decapitate, and dismember your decomposing zombie foes.

Long-term fans of the series will be delighted to see the return of the mighty Ripper, repurposed as a flagship weapon. “It’s a homage to the weapon upgrade from the first Dead Island,” explains Dambusters’ Combat Game Designer Haris Iqbal. “But from our end, we wanted to give it that Dead Island 2 signature appeal.”

The team evolved the original concept of a baseball bat, augmented it with a spinning blade, and made it into the ultimate machine for cutting through an undead mob. “Ultimately, we want to add to all the gore-filled spectacle with our new legendaries,” says Iqbal. “But also make sure that every weapon, especially the legendaries, feels like its got its own interesting micro-mechanics and loops.”

The second weapon is the Saw Blade Launcher, a multi-functional ranged weapon that fires out industrial sawblades capable of tearing through a mob of walkers and cutting the toughest apex zombies down to size.

The Dead Island 2 SOLA expansion is out now on PS4 and PS5.
