Dead Island 2 doesn’t just challenge players to survive the zombie apocalypse—it dares them to excel. With an extensive array of trophies and achievements tailored for the most dedicated Slayers, this guide is your key to unlocking every accolade in Dead Island 2.

Dambuster Studios invites you into the heart of Hell-A, a zombie-infested Los Angeles, to prove your mettle. From your first Zombie-Free Zone to the depths of Venice Beach, each trophy and achievement tells a story of survival, strategy, and sheer willpower.

The creation and development of the game were handled by Dambuster Studios, instead of OG devs Techland who have since made the Dying Light franchise, and they certainly tried to make their own impact on the series.

Dead Island 2 has a large amount of meaty content to experience and discover, and the full Achievements and Trophies list will add even more stuff for potential players to do.

How many Trophies & Achievements are in Dead Island 2?

In total, PlayStation Dead Island 2 users will have 46 different Trophies to claim and feature a wide array of Bronze, Silver, and Gold Trophies – with the Platinum being the final one. Whereas Xbox users have 45 Dead Island 2 Achievements to grind for.

If you’re unfamiliar with Trophies and Achievements, PlayStation fans get one extra Trophy for earning all of them. Either way, players are encouraged to explore and enjoy all facets of Dead Island 2.

It’s worth mentioning that several of the trophies mention story spoilers so proceed with caution if you are precious about keeping the surprises preserved.
