You won’t come across any Dead Island 2 legendary weapons for quite some time in the fast-paced zombie slaying game, instead receiving only common, uncommon, rare, and superior weapons for most of your time playing the story. In fact, you only receive your first legendary weapon for completing the story itself.

However, alongside legendary weapons, there are also unique weapons, which can be of any rarity. It’s important to note that most of these Dead Island 2 weapons come as rewards for Dead Island 2 quests though, so don’t expect to loot many legendary or unique weapons while you just explore the Dead Island 2 map. Here’s what you need to know about Dead Island 2 legendary and unique weapons.
