Dead island riptide weapon map. Weapons in Dead Island. Hand-to-hand combat and skills

To assemble a weapon upgrade, you should have a workbench, a recipe, a suitable weapon, and parts on hand. The latter come across everywhere - in bags. cupboards, boxes or just laying in plain sight.

All weapons have a color gradation, in ascending order of power: white, green, blue, purple. orange. Sometimes the nominal damage of the "white" copy exceeds even the damage of the "orange" one. but the "power of color" is different - the higher the rank of the weapon, the higher its probability of a critical hit. There is no point in betting on “white” improvement samples at all.

Want to collect all the recipes - play alone! If you join someone else's game or players will run into you. people can crawl into missions and complete them instead of you. Your reward (be it a mod, money or weapon) will not go anywhere, but finding a quest character with a prize will be extremely difficult.

There are five secret blueprints in the game that can create the strongest weapon. There are five skulls hidden in the locations: if you find any of them and put them in a special place, someone from above will reward us with a modifier.

We recommend using these upgrades only against the "fattest" enemies - each will cost us $10,000 and five diamonds, and repairing already upgraded items costs a fortune. By the way, it is best to use throwing weapons - their durability does not decrease during throws.

Another hotbed of a mysterious epidemic erupted right on board the warship. A storm has begun.

Banoi is world famous as the location of the popular luxury five-star resort hotel "Royal Palms" (Royal Palms Resort), which often attracts celebrities. Not far from Banoi, on a small island surrounded by a minefield, is the Banoi Maximum Security Prison - a private facility for holding international terrorists and criminals.

The island has a police force and its own armed forces, called the Banoi Island Defense Force (B.I.D.F.), which are responsible for the protection and security of Banoi.

Armament

The game has a large number of weapons. Melee weapons are divided into two types: blunt and sharpened. Blunt weapons include bats, hammers, sledgehammers, sticks, brass knuckles, water pipes, brooms, and large wrenches. Blunt weapons are best at breaking the bones of opponents. Sharpened weapons include knives, machete, blades, axes, cleavers. Any melee weapon gradually breaks down during use, so from time to time it needs to be repaired or thrown away and a new one found. A sharpened weapon is capable of cutting off (chopping off) the limbs of opponents. Any melee weapon can be thrown at an enemy and subsequently picked up again. Firearms are represented by pistols, revolvers, shotguns and rifles. Also in the game there are homemade grenades, bombs, mines and Molotov cocktails. In the game, you can get unique weapons as a reward for completing tasks, and unique weapons can also be found in secret places or knocked out from strong opponents.

An important element of the game is the improvement of weapons. As the game progresses, the player will often find blueprints for upgraded weapons. Upgraded weapons are created at the workbench using the required materials and blueprints. Each upgrade has its own list of weapons that can be upgraded. Improved weapons are much more effective than simple ones and have a special feature on a critical attack. Upgraded weapons are more expensive to repair than simple ones.

Game engine

It was planned that in Dead Island will be used game engine Chrome engine 4th version, which at that time was the latest. According to game producer Techland Adreanu Ciszewski, in Dead Island will use the standard version of Chrome Engine 4, without any special improvements and improvements. The only difference will be a specially designed face damage system. The essence of this system is that the character's face is modeled "in layers", that is, the facial bones are modeled first, which are then "fitted" with facial muscles, and then with skin. The player in real time can injure computer opponents, while the deformation of the face and skull will occur dynamically, in real time. In November 2007, the developers released a video demonstrating the skull damage system.

Seemingly idyllic picture

When the hero of Stevenson's immortal novel categorically assured those around him that the dead don't bite, he, no doubt, could not have imagined how popular biting (and at the same time walking and groaning) corpses of not the very first freshness would be in the 21st century. The number of cultural and entertainment works in which dead, but very often lively zombies appear, now exceeds all reasonable limits. Sometimes it even comes to the point that we are quite seriously offered to look at the zombie apocalypse from a different side than a normal person should, revealing a rich inner world and a huge evolutionary potential of self-propelled ghouls.

The authors of Dead Island did not do such experiments at one time and suggested that we try on the more or less familiar skin of a survivalist, surrounded by crowds of soulless and meaningless carrion. On the other hand, the gameplay of this project stood out somewhat from the mass of zombie slashers: we were presented with a very large area of ​​the game world, allowed to interact with other survivors and develop in the spirit of some kind of RPG, and even allowed us to show a certain amount of handicraft creative talent in weapon crafting. As for a considerable number of shortcomings and errors in DI, the players forgave most of them, with pleasure exploring the tropical paradise teeming with dangers. Preparing the sequel, the developers traditionally promised to fix the shortcomings and bring to perfection the strong points of the game. Well, your business on the island of Banoi is over, welcome to the island of Palanay!

Did you have anyone named Freeman in your relatives?

Riptide is a direct sequel to Dead Island, so it's not surprising that we'll see a bunch of old characters, along with one new character. You will be briefly told about the heartbreaking events on Banoi, from which a group of comrades who are immune to zombie infection barely escaped in a helicopter that landed on a certain warship. And everything seemed to work out for the better, but the heroes are suddenly taken into circulation, handcuffed and seated in not very comfortable cells. Such disgrace is explained quite simply: despite the seemingly military status of the ship, everything is run on it by a cunning and unscrupulous businessman in a formal suit, who expects to benefit from the characteristics of the immunity of the survivors. So our heroes are handed over on the spot to the "polyclinic for experiments" and their future turns out to be overshadowed by an endless series of future needles, enemas and tasteless prison-hospital meals.

Fortunately, the zombies, although not intentionally, do not leave the dashing company in trouble: a virus that has entered the ship in an obscure way causes natural chaos, leads to the release of prisoners and, following the laws of the genre, to a subsequent shipwreck off the coast of another flowering island neighboring with Bano. Not far sailed, what can I say. But how hard they tried.

Almost the ninth shaft

The plot of Dead Island: Riptide is not just replete with cliches and platitudes - it consists entirely of them. An ancient virus that at times thins out the local population is in stock. A group of survivalists with expected aspirations, as well as a small number of "post-apocalyptic" collectives (including ex-convicts and demon-possessed preachers, as it were) - please. Mad and not very scientists pursuing their goals related to the virus - get it and sign it. What have you forgotten? Oh yes - mutagenic chemicals, whose use both externally and internally leads to very frightening (and, by the way, almost instantaneous) consequences and, of course, the gloomy legacy of the Japanese flood of the Second World War, who once founded an impressive underground base on the island. In general, this whole set of elements of a simple zombie story constructor allows you to predict any turn of events with high probability, in addition, it becomes clear from the very first frames that this whole simple scenario is nothing more than an excuse to justify your presence on the sultry Palanay. Happiness is not in history.

That's what happens from any chemistry

Have you been hit on the head with an ax for a long time?

We come in turn, do not crowd ...

However, although it is not very interesting to follow the plot in DI: R, one has to do it one way or another - the areas of the island are opened sequentially and at the behest of the scriptwriters. Nevertheless, there is always something to do in the current, in accordance with the chapters, territories. Side quests will be handed out to you by almost everyone you meet, including teammates, so there is always where to earn extra money for a quick messenger. True, the needs of local residents are more and more petty: someone does not have enough dose of drugs to be happy, someone really wants to finish the film without being embarrassed by what is happening around, but someone just wants to eat. Similar requests will come from your comrades-in-arms, but you probably shouldn’t ignore them - the clips, batteries or blades you delivered can increase not only the spirit, but also the combat capabilities of your comrades, which brings certain benefits to you.

Trailer, tents, hungry tourists

And someone naive hoped to leave ...

The fact is that now your character, in addition to free hunting for zombies in the jungle, sometimes has to act in a well-coordinated team, reflecting the massive raids of cadaverous evil spirits. They will warn you about the upcoming defense of the base and let you prepare: block the entrances with a metal grid (get batteries - bring current to the grid), carefully lay out mines and even, in some cases, get and place heavy machine guns (you won’t have to get ammunition, don’t worry). Well, then the action begins, combining an action movie and a kind of tower defense at the same time: zombies roll in waves, trying to seep into all the cracks of your fortification, but the defenders of the base are trying to resist this with all their might.

Your duties here include not only personally destroying all hostile rotten things, but also timely patching of broken fences, as well as ambulance to comrades-in-arms - another ghoul strives to cling to them with a death grip. If he succeeds, then the evil spirits will slowly chew on the unfortunate, despite his sluggish resistance, and the vital signs of the victim will steadily melt. If a friend's lifebar drops to zero and he dies, you will have to start from the last checkpoint - the scenario does not provide for the unexpected loss of allies.

For a while, this place will be your home.

Short breaks go to meetings

In hiking along the paths of a warm island, you will meet vehicles more than once, always refueled and ready for operation. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to travel all over the map, but often a car makes the journey much easier, primarily due to the ability to crush aggressive corpses in batches. Of course, less experience is given for such a “rest”, but the process becomes much simpler - you are almost invulnerable while driving. As for the boat, everything is somewhat different here: drowned zombies swim in schools at the sound of the engine, cling to the side and climb to visit you. We didn’t have time to throw off such a passenger with a well-aimed kick - you find yourself in the water, and even in an unpleasant company. Transport management and the model of its behavior, of course, are completely arcade, but this does not spoil the game. By the way, vehicles are indispensable in those missions where you need to deliver something voluminous and heavy from point A to point B, so sometimes it’s worth taking care of moving the car to the right place instead of using the quick transition system.

You can't follow traffic rules here.

In the fight against rotting reptiles, any means is good and firearms, with all its convenience, do not come to the fore in Dead Island: Riptide - there simply won’t be enough cartridges for everyone. You have to actively use edged weapons, improvised means, and also desperately beat zombies with your bare hands and shod feet. The latter, by the way, is important, because it saves a far from endless resource of all those devices that serve as weapons here.

A typical battle with ordinary opponents goes something like this: with the help of what is in our hands, we bring down a carnivorous corpse from our feet, and then, in the style of street gangsterism, we kick it with our feet (trying to hit it in the head) until it stops moving. Nevertheless, one should not underestimate the variety of weapons offered by the game - you won’t gain much with limbs alone.

One of the most important indicators of a shock-piercing-cutting tool is its fragility, that is, in other words, the conditional number of blows on stinking flesh, after which the weapon turns into useless trash. Oddly enough, even all-steel crowbars break down here, so you should not neglect the timely repair of the arsenal. It will not be possible to repair a broken baton on your knee, but workbenches with all the necessary tools are scattered around the island at our service. Workbenches are equipped with cash terminals - someone invisible is sure to charge you for each turning and plumbing operation, so that money on the post-apocalyptic island remains, oddly enough, in use.

However, repair is a function, although important, but, nevertheless, secondary, the main purpose of workbenches remains the improvement of existing "tools of production" and the creation of new ones. In the latter case, you will certainly need to find a drawing - the game does not believe in the fantasy of your hero. In addition to the blueprints, it will not be superfluous to get a bunch of various rubbish lying around everywhere - from cans of bleach to broken wires. And now, with all the required resources, you can make another masterpiece of zombie-killing, like a bat with a cordless saw at the end, or at least a baton wrapped in barbed wire. There are many options, and they all have the right to exist.

Homemade zombie cutter - a good help

But Wolverine did not know that it was possible

A warm climate, fresh air, orienteering and constant fights improve health and morale, and therefore the scale of your hero's exp will grow by leaps and bounds (not to mention the fact that we start at level 15, as wiser with some experience of the past games). For each level, you are rewarded with one skill point, which are divided into three groups: rage (a special mode of extreme brutality), combat and survival (somewhere it was already recently, yeah).
