If you’re starting fresh in Riptide or your previous character is fairly low-level, you can start a new character with 15 skill points free to allocate how you see fit.Īfter Riptide was announced, some confusion spread over whether the game was a true follow-up or an expansion. This is great for dedicated players who maxed out their Dead Island characters, and there are even a few new skills to learn. These characters transfer over with nothing but their previous skills and level. Importing your survivor Players can import characters from the first Dead Island – whether you beat the game with them or not -– as long it’s on the same profile. No matter how seasoned your teammates are, all players see enemies scaled to their level, removing the headache from matchmaking.
