Dead Island 2's Patch 6 introduces thrilling new gameplay options, including a challenging New Game Plus (NG+) mode and a fresh horde mode, "Neighborhood Watch." This update significantly enhances the zombie-slaying experience.
New Game Plus and Enhanced Zombie Threats
NG+ allows players to restart their campaign with their existing character, inventory, and increased skill slots, facing even tougher enemies. The level cap is raised, and new weapons, skins, and a formidable new zombie type—the Revenants—are added. These Revenants are described as significantly more powerful Apex zombies with enhanced abilities, promising a heightened difficulty. All weapons in NG+ boast increased power, with a greater number of fixed-rarity weapons to discover.
Neighborhood Watch: A Unique Horde Mode
Neighborhood Watch blends horde and tower defense mechanics. Players must defend their base over five in-game days, eliminating waves of enemies and completing objectives to earn valuable gear. The first four days focus on base defense, culminating in a final showdown.
