Character customisation in Dead Island 2

Unfortunately, Dead Island 2 doesn’t allow you to create your own character. Instead, you can choose one of the main characters whose style you like the most. There are six main characters in total: Amy, Bruno, Carla, Dani, Jacob, and Ryan. Each of them has their own unique outfit to walk around Los Angeles and slay zombies.

Yes, you won't be able to create their appearance, but there is still a chance to change the look of your character. You can purchase a character pack, which includes some cosmetics. Currently, only two such packs are available, namely Silver Star Jacob pack for Jacob and Cyber Slayer Amy pack for Amy. It is expected that the developers will add the ability to purchase similar customisations for the rest of the characters.

You can also make your character look cooler by learning new skills with the help of the Skill Card System. With each level increase, it allows you to cope with the undead more effectively.
