While Dead Island 2's coop experience isn't as robust as I'd like, it's still a blast and lets you experiment with Slayers you might ordinarily avoid. Throw in coop on top of that and your choice of Slayer gets even more impactful, so we've compiled a handy guide on the basics. You'll be picking from six Slayers this time around, rather that four that the original was limited to, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Click 'Exit Big Picture Mode' and then launch Epic Games Launcher and launch Dead Island 2 from there.Dead Island 2 has kicked things up a notch on all fronts, including the available characters players get to choose from at the start of the game.
