How long to beat Dead Island 2: All missions, locations, and post-game

21st April 2023

DEAD Island 2 was in development for over 10 years, but it won’t take you that long to make it through.

Saying this, it still offers a surprisingly chunky map, with long checklists of things to do.

Dead Island 2 promised all the gore you could handle.

If you’re wondering how much time you have to dedicate before you jump in, this is the guide for you.

Here’s everything you need to know about Dead Island 2’s main game.

How long to beat Dead Island 2

Playing through the main story missions, and completing a few of the easier side quests took us around 18 hours.

However you can take more time completing all of the additional sidequests and taking time upgrading weapons.

We expect this to take another five to ten hours, meaning that a full playthrough will take around 25 hours.

There are 10 different locations in Dead Island 2, and you will visit them all in order.

Here are all 10 locations and the order they appear in.

There are 24 main story missions, and the final mission requires you to be level 23 in order to complete it.

This is easily obtainable as you go through the game, and only requires minimal side quests.

Here is the full main mission list:

Once you have finished the main story, you can stay in LA and keep playing.

This includes the side quests and the Lost & Found missions you did not complete in your play through.

There is also co-op mode which will let you play with friends, and give you more reason to play.

If you do this you will keep your skills and weapons, but you can also start again and choose another character.

There are six save slots specifically for you to play through with each different Slayer.
