The Dead Island 2 Slayer choice is the first decision that players have to make. For those looking to optimize their playthrough, whether in single-player or in co-op, there are two standout options to pick from out of Jacob, Amy, Ryan, Dani, Carla, and Bruno. Here are the top picks for DI2 Slayers and who is the best character to choose.
Who is the best Slayer to choose in Dead Island 2?
The best Slayer to choose in Dead Island 2 is Jacob.
Jacob’s abilities come in useful most often, meaning that he is at an almost constant advantage over the other Slayers. He also has a great Health stat, enabling him to survive big hits. He can also dish out a surprisingly high amount of damage from successive attacks. It’s often possible to just spam attacks at enemies and watch as they fall down with ease.
Jacob is especially good for new players or those planning to play alone.
It’s worth mentioning that all six Slayers can be good, as they gain additional buffs from Survivor Skill Cards. So don’t fret too much if you picked someone other than Jacob, as there are strengths and weaknesses to all of the characters.
