The best Dead Island 2 weapon mods are guaranteed to help you deal more damage when taking on hordes of the undead. After years of waiting and speculation, Dead Island 2 is finally here and just like its sequel, there are plenty of weapon mods available to customise your weapon arsenal.

As you work through the mission list, you'll encounter a wide range of zombie types capable of eliminating you with a few well-placed hits. If you've found a weak instead of one of the best weapons, don't throw it away without checking if a mod can improve its performance in the heat of battle.

What are the best Dead Island 2 weapon mods?

There's a wide range of mods for all guns and weapons in Dead Island 2. Depending on which one you choose, you can add a range of elemental effects that add even more damage to the target. For example, a weapon equipped with a Cremator mod applies burning while an Electrocutor mod adds some shock damage.

With that said, the best Dead Island 2 mods to use are the Puncturator and Electrocutor mods. Puncturator mods give you the ability to inflict bleed damage onto the target alongside a huge damage boost.

Electrocutor mods are rather self-explanatory. A few quick hits of a weapon using the mod will send a sudden shockwave of electricity pulsing through the zombie. Most of the time, this kills them but if not, their health bar is extremely low making them a very easy target.
