Learn how to defeat Screamers in dead island 2 by flanking their scream and using AoE damage to handle attracted zombies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Screamers possess the ability to scream loudly, knocking you back if you are caught in the blast. Walking directly into the scream feels like walking against a strong wind.
  2. 2
    To get into melee range, walk out of the scream's blast and approach from the side.
  3. 3
    Use your strongest melee weapon to bonk them on the head to interrupt their scream.
  4. 4
    If you have a gun, you can deal with Screamers easily at range, staying out of their vicinity.
  5. 5
    The scream also attracts a large number of zombies, and more appear with each new scream.
  6. 6
    Use AoE damage, like curveball bombs, to deal with both the zombies and the Screamer simultaneously.
  7. 7
    Status effects like burning and electrocuting can also help damage the Screamer and surrounding zombies.
Tips
  • Nikki Gutte is the first Screamer variant you will encounter.
  • Screamers are not big and bulky like Crushers or Slobbers, but their scream is their primary threat.
  • Don't entirely neglect the Screamer, as she will continuously attract more zombies.
