DEAD ISLAND 2 SPECS UPGRADE
The higher the grade, the better the statistics are and the better it is to upgrade it, as the statistics will get better the higher the weapon rarity.Īll melee weapons featured in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide have the following parameters (the only exception is a Chainsaw, which has only Damage and Rate of Fire parameters):

White is a common rarity weapon, while orange is a legendary rarity weapon. Every weapon also has a weapon grade which is indicated by what colour the name is. However, a fully upgraded level 50 katana will have better statistics than a non-upgraded katana of the same level. For example, a level 3 knife will have worse stats than a level 50 katana.

Parameters are affected by the weapon level and how upgraded the weapon is. When a number is red, it means it is worse than your current weapon. When a number is green, it means it is better than your currently equipped weapon. If you have a weapon currently equipped and you look at a different one, it will highlight the differences between the two. Any weapon you hover over will display their statistics to you so you can easily see how good/bad it is. The stats for a weapon can be viewed at any time by either selecting it via the weapon wheel or by clicking on it in your inventory. How much damage they do, how easily they break, etc, are all shown under these stats. These dictate the statistics of the weapon regarding how they function. All weapons in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide have weapon parameters.
