Talk:Dead Island

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 finial game's weapons? - Mr. Wolf 13:54, 20 September 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)
