You’re simply spoilt for choice in Dead Island 2 when it comes to selecting weaponry. Whether you’re a sharpshooter or prefer using a samurai sword to carve up some nasty zombies, Dead Island 2’s weapon crafting mechanic ensures you’ll be whittling away to amass a hefty arsenal. Taking it one step further, some players are bringing the world of beloved FromSoftware action RPG Bloodborne to the shores of Hell-A.
If you’re looking for the best Dead Island 2 weapons, then Redditor ‘roboxsteven’ has a unique melee weapon to consider taking out on the road. The FromSoftware enthusiast explains that they “made a Tonitrus with the weapon mods in Dead Island 2” and it even resembles the Bloodborne equivalent statistically. Fellow Bloodborne fan ‘VrelEgg’ says it has “low durability, just like the real Tonitrus!”
The Tonitrus fits into the Mace-style of weaponry seen in the FromSoftware RPG and can be only wielded with one hand at any given time. It holds a special place within the Bloodborne canon, as it is the only weapon in the game to come with innate Bolt damage because it doesn’t need supplementary items like Bolt Paper or Blood Gems. Aside from its transformation attack, it also doesn’t use any stamina, which is always a plus in our book.
However, the Dead Island 2 version might not serve you too well on the streets of Los Angeles.
