JacobFirst thing you see of Jacob? Ripping zombies apart in the reveal trailer. Badassery established. But there's more to this Londoner than meet-the-eye. His combat style is medium build with a focus on lightning-fast axe and mace strikes. Deep down, though, a darker note. He talks to his mom in his head, a twisted motivator in this zombie apocalypse. Makes his carefree exterior more complex, right?DaniMeet Dani: turbocharged fun, crowd-controlling queen with a side of sass. She shares some stats with Jacob, but her explosive personality and unique skills set her apart. Dani's a safe choice for thrill-seekers. With her aggressive approach, she ranks near the top among the best Dead Island 2 characters, falling just short of Jacob in terms of overall effectiveness.CarlaCarla often gets overshadowed by flashier Dead Island 2 castmates. Still, don't be fooled by her gruff exterior and mediocre base stats. She's one of the best character in Dead Island 2 for a reason.
