Weapon Models
Well, to kick off this discussion page, the game is pretty good, but the weapon models are absolutely HORRIBLE. --Ghostdigga 14:24, 10 September 2011 (CDT)
- Yeah, when I saw the latest trailers I thought the weapon models looked awful too. XD But aleast it is a great game and weapon models are identifiable, the only bad points I give to this game is that the human models/animations are nowhere as good as L4D2's and of course, the awful weapon models, that's it. - Mr. Wolf 16:31, 10 September 2011 (CDT)
- Are weapon models worse than L4D2? --Masterius 07:00, 12 September 2011 (CDT)
- L4D2's weapon models were great, Dead Island's, um, not so much. - Mr. Wolf 16:08, 12 September 2011 (CDT)
- I guess, Valve had more money to spend on weapons than Techland. Higher budget in other words. --Masterius 02:33, 13 September 2011 (CDT)
- The environments in Dead Island still look gorgeous though. - Mr. Wolf 15:12, 13 September 2011 (CDT)
In-Game Images?
Is there any reason why actual in-game images of the firearms are still not up? I know someone out there has some capture device needed. --HashiriyaR32 22:12, 11 September 2011 (CDT)
- I don't have the game... Yet. :) - Mr. Wolf 23:15, 11 September 2011 (CDT)
In-Game Weapons
Just saw a friend play the PC version earlier today (which looked a LOT better and smoother than I was expecting). Some info I have:
- The Beretta is called "Semi-Auto Pistol" or just "Pistol" I forgot;
- The AKS-74U is called "Auto Rifle";
- The M4-type Carbine is called "Single Shot Rifle", and has an AR-18-type ejection port/charging handle.

Gun ID's
I didn't want to change the page until I had some other people backing my information up. The "Magnum" is a Taurus Raging Bull. The "Burst Rifle" is an M16A4 with a backwards mounted EOTech XPS sight that has an iron sight inside instead of the correct optics. The revolver is a Smith & Wesson, possibly a Model 19 loaded with .38 Special because of the low damage. Also, I think the short shotgun is a Benelli M3 Super 90 Shorty, and it looks nothing the 590 its listed as.--SmithandWesson36 20:14, 17 September 2011 (CDT)
H&K USP Removal?
Should the USP be removed from this page? i haven't found ANY USP's in the game, all I've found were Beretta's, Desert Eagle's, and revolvers, no USP's anywhere, so the image with the USP could've just been a beta image with the USP not being featured in the full game.Kornflakes89 02:21, 18 September 2011 (CDT)
- Yeah, there's also beta images of the SPAS-12 too, I'll remove the USP. A funny thing, why do the beta weapons look better than the final game's weapons? - Mr. Wolf 13:54, 20 September 2011 (CDT)
- Marketing ;) --Masterius 02:54, 21 September 2011 (CDT)
- Probably the same reason they cut out the detailed gore, it became too hardware intensive and caused massive frame rate drops. I've seen this alot before in PC Mods, they sacrifice good looks for gameplay performance or for scenary and landscapes, particulary if the area is very large, much like what it is in Dead Island Draco122 14:59, 20 September 2011 (CDT)
- personally i wouldn't have minded if they kept the USP in the game, but i'm more of a Beretta fan anyway, but still, more firearm variety would've been niceKornflakes89 03:53, 13 October 2011 (CDT)
Weapon list
Just a formality but this is a list of weapons I've comprised from the game from research and such and from actual personal experience from gameplay.
Pistols
- Pistol - Beretta 92FS - When modded, they appear with a different coloured compensator an example is a blue tipped compensator yields electric shock damage
- Heavy Pistol - .357 Desert Eagle Mk. I
- Revolver - Astra 960 .38 calibre, operated exclusively in single Action. The Character Purna (who own's a personal Revolver, fires hers in double action)
- Magnum - Taurus Revolver with a Blued Finish and wooden grip. Like the Revolver, it fires in Single Action.
Shotgun
- Shotgun - Possibly a combo gun, looks like a cross between a TOZ-194 and Remington 870 Police Magnum with an odd styled iron sight
- Short Shotgun - Again a combo gun, has the foregrip of a Short Barrelled Remington 870 but the reciever and pistol grip looks similar to a Mossberg. It's front sight is blade sight.
- Medium Speed Shotgun - SPAS-12, sometimes it's fitted with a large ghost ring sight when upgraded/modded.
- Fast Shotgun - Benelli M3, operated in pump action only, has a similar styled ghost ring sight to the spas when upgraded/modded.
Auto-Rifle
- AK-104 w/ wooden furniture, also features second synthetic polymer variant, sometimes fitted with a reflex type sight, possibly a kobra sight.
Rifle
- Single Shot Rifle - Some type of AR-15 hybrid perhaps a semi-automatic Colt AR-15 Sporter SP1 with a flat top receiver and short barrel. Uses a 20 round magazine, modded versions occasionally feature a 30 round magazine.
- Burst Rifle - In the Xbox360 version, they almost always appear as M16A2's sometimes with Reflex sights, but they fire in 3-4x round bursts, but tapping the trigger can enable them to fire single shots.
I'll get to adding Pictures when I can, it's hard to believe that despite the amount of media for this game, there's so limited pictures of weapons on the net. Draco122 12:50, 20 September 2011 (CDT)
I'm not 100% sure the revolver is an Astra, but it is a better guesss than the Python that was there before. BeardedHoplite 19:05, 16 October 2011 (CDT)
