Throughout the game players will collect blue prints, each blue print provides the design for a weapon from six different weapon categories. Each weapon can be modded and given special attributes. Players have an extreme amount of freedom in how they want to customize their gameplay experience.

Players have two modes to pick from in the game, player verses enemy mode and player verses player mode. In PvE: Crossroads players will be teamed up with three other players and will carry out three randomly generated missions. These missions can range from freeing survivors, gathering supplies, fighting tons of zombies, and facing off against a super powerful bosses.

In PvP: Scavenger the game pits three teams consisting of four members each against each other in zombie filled maps. Victory will go to the team with the most resources. At the end of each session players will be awarded for how well they did and the difficulty for their following mission will be scaled accordingly.

Despite being in open beta, Dead Island: Epidemic is one of the best online zombie killing games out there and will only improve with future development.
