Dead Island 2 shines brightest in its melee combat, but you actually can use guns, too, if you know where to look. While you might spend your first moments looking for firearms in Dead Island 2, you should know it’ll take a specific action before you can begin to find them as loot. Here’s how to get guns in Dead Island 2.
Dead Island 2 – when do you get guns
Though we said in our Dead Island 2 review that the game’s gunplay is the only downside to an otherwise deep and inventive combat system, don’t let that stop you from trying them yourself. You can find guns all over the semi-open world, but not a single gun will spawn until you reach a certain point in the story.
Without going into plot details, there’s a main story mission called Justifiable Zombicide which you’ll need to complete in order to get guns to spawn. In fact, you’ll get your first gun during this mission. Afterward, guns will begin spawning as loot in chests and given to you as quest rewards at times.
