Why You Wouldn't Survive Dead Island 2's Autophage Zombie Apocalypse

[@uknlogic2924]

I think the butchers, swarm walkers, runners and bursters being mutated into either being fast and agile or super spreaders already makes the autophage virus being impossible to survive.

No lie. Some of the biological anatomical and physiological things that are mentioned and happen in some of these apocalyptuses really get you thinking on your own genealogy, biology, anatomy and physiology. Like the mention of how the autophage is sitting. Dormant in everyone's DNA in the Dead Island series. What kind of mutations or transformations are hidden within our own DNA in real life and how we are all technically on a biological countdown? Usually we end up dying before that.

I think its mentioned in the game by a Konstant OSK but it is something along the lines of self canabalization and self mutation.

Also in the game Sam was infected again and started turning. Obviously different virus, but never know. The virus could evolve again to some other sister virus. With there being a zombie with a chest mouth, I don’t think it’s too crazy to say that the virus could evolve past those no longer being immune.

The first section of this video was somewhat nostalgic to me, because I remember buying the first dead island game at a GameStop with my mom (I was about 11/12) and was fascinated reading through the little booklet inside the case as my mom shopped in Macys 😂

[@Norinia]

After a certain missing quest, I’ve come to believe that the starting point for a Numen’s odds aren’t as bad as it’s made out. My reason? The bombers. There ends up being a specific bomber you can accidentally talk to (even before that, bombers are talking all game, but this guy is holding full conversations with you) and notes found say that he was 100% completely normal before his, well, particular situation. Even that his bite mark was healing up just fine, something that does not happen if not immune (due to infection happening too quick) I think somewhere in that time frame between when he was last seen til we see the guy (don’t want to spoil it, it was a pretty big shock) there’s an important final step in the Numen process, in which failing it results in the Bomber state, in which the person is still there, in a rejection state of the virus, and ultimately culminates in exploding to a victim (whether in a quest to seek help and becoming too excited, or becoming overly deluded by whatever this entity is, and seeking to infect/kill others with it’s explosion) Think about it. During the game, even after our character accepts being ‘immune’, they constantly have these rushes in which they become incredibly sick. Kondradt describes the player as “clinging to the edge of the pool, afraid to let go” and forces them to undergo the fury state. However, even after this, she does not describe them as anything different until AFTER the incident with the first Mutator, in which she specifically refers to them then as “Rebirth”. That implies to me then that our character was still working the infection around in their bodies, that they weren’t to be labeled as “Numen” until it finally settled in the body. I think the only reason the odds are so bad in the beginning are because of how people fear the massive unknown that this outbreak is, it culminating somehow into the fail process that results in Bombers, instead of Numen. This is just a theory though. Looking forward to the next two dlcs (I got the season pass :) epic game sale btw so I only paid the price of the base game) to see if maybe this gets expanded further. Hope this made sense to anyone 😅 Edit: I had a quest to return to that subway, so poked my head in Reiner’s old room. Confirmed, Bombers are Numens who failed this ‘mystery quest’. That’s why they have their voice and switch between being horrified at what’s happened to them, or embracing this complete unknown entity.

you said that the mutators have a stronger variant called "re-ubenators" when this is just a silly pun from the devs, Reuben the scientist turned into a mutator so they called it Reuben-ator, great vid tho.

The reason why I wouldn't survive Dead Island 2, I don't have cardio, from Zombieland. They would quickly catch up to me if I tried running away and while I'm exhausted they would ultimately insect me.

[@beardedsaint3250]

The start is unbelievably slow but does get WAY better as you progress. My only issue is the districts are way too small with the story being too short for a full retail price tag. The gore system is fun and really does save this game ngl will be playing for a while unlike DL2

I just thought of something. You said the HK and Autophage viruses aren't related. If thats the case then how was Sam B's body able to fight off the Autophage for so long? Also if the viruses aren't related how are the zombies from each game so similar?

[@Ritsukashy]

he got the info wrong the Autophage and HK are both just activation of the dormant DNA just different ways with different effects. HK happened like 15 years prior to dead island 2 but Dr. Reed discovered this DNA issue 25 years before dead island 2 so it was known about 10 years before dead island 1. HK was activation thru a rare mutation found in a Tribe. Autophage was a scientific creation based around the HK from the tribe in dead island 1. Obviously they retconned a bit of dead island 1 and riptide to make it seem like it was something they knew ahead of time and were experimenting with to make a true cure.

[@K1NG_of_ReVeNGe1]

I would say the HK Virus was, because it's origin was in animal experiments, simply a mutation to the autophage. It was very similar to todays autophage but simply lacked the grand nature of it, no hive mind or super humans. It was most like the Kuru and HIV combination that somehow triggered a lesser version of the autophage or something like that

[@itsyaboid3fault457]

I’d guess what he meant by saying “brother/sister virus” is that they are related, just not directly linearly, they both originate from the same imbedded code of dna, but one was not the result or parent of the other if that makes any sense. Basically they’re horizontal on the family tree rather than vertical

@@momsspaghetti4504 It's possible they subconsciously thought about it. Military games have remote communication systems and headsets. Kyle Crane had a walkie talkie and headset with him in Dying Light. It might have been unintentional, but it's something that adds a bit more immersion.

[@GriffinatorOriginal]

Phil LaMarr is one of the top billed voice actors in America. So his replacement was probably due to scheduling conflicts or even budget concerns. It’s a shame he was replaced because while Cavin Cornwall did a great job on DI2, Sam’s personality was changed so much he doesn’t even feel like the same person. But look at Frank West in DR4 vs. DR1 or Off the record. Returning characters disappoint all the time and it’s not necessarily the new voice but the rewrite of the characters personality.

If it's a sister variant of what was on banoi, would the 5 original immuned survivor still be possibly immune or just straight up no? We only see Sam B here and without getting into the story too much he seems to do fine against the infected for awhile. Just a random thought

[@dukethegamer1308]

If exposed enough I think they get infected. I doubt 1 or 2 bites would do much to them but Sam got bit a lot at least he tells us so.

The only question I have is how long has Los Angeles been in an apocalypse? Because they have military personnel, dedicated buses that ignite the passengers, evac points & safe zones. I’m thinkin it’s been goin on for like 2 or 3 months maybe because there’s plenty of survivors & people were having parties.

[@theboy1625]

Apparently, you can read a paper in game that says the military were already aware of the outbreak happening because it was planned. That’s why they were so prepared

Hey, could you do a video of talking about Project Zomboid or perhaps a Why You Wouldn't Survive video on it? I love Zomboid and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game! Keep up the good work!!!

[@Free_Krazy]

Okay, hear me out! (Or dont, this is a LONG one, you have been warned lol) The Autophage is obviously worst than many other zombie scenarios/ types combined, but ide like to argue it is perhaps even worst than the Flood from Halo... Now we only saw what happened in like 2 weeks with the biomass accumulated in the sewers, its unclear how "intelligent" the autophage is or can be but i think the numen give us a look into that aspect with their telepathy powers, this seems to be why infected can track targets while missing most of their heads, they might not need theirs because they are in yours! or atleast in eachothers. (And i dont feel like this was entirely a gameplay limitation/oversight, pretty much every other gameplay aspect has an in universe explanation, this something we dont see in many games) Now this is where the autophage may or may not be stronger, off the bat the autophage is smarter with its inteligence being more like a network opposed to the flood taking much longer to achive this level of versatility only after creating a central inteligence. The flood just has its airborn transmission aspect going for it at this stage. But if the autophage biomass is acting like/building up to a central intelligence it could potentially outpace the flood with the help of these next points. Everyone knows how to defeat the flood, fire, preferably of the plasma variety (hot lead in warcrime stick form is my personal fav) But the autophage aint so simple with it rapidly evolving to not just survive but thrive and excell in its enviornment no matter how deadly, throw acid at it and it will become immune and throw it back, catch it on fire and you will be the one who ends up burning, electrocute it and you just gave the zombies electricity... (Which mind you is a main factor in brain chemistry) And im as sad as i am glad we didnt encounter a nuclear power plant that was melting down lol, that could be a whole other can of worms! Also the Numen, as stated in the video most seem to side with the autophage to an extent, so if the autophage itself doesnt get smarter the numen could help fill that role with their super human abilites and self aware inteligence, its possible the autophage is even gathering inteligence specifically from them using their seemingly shared telepathic powers. This really all hinges on if the biomass is acting as an inteligence or not, which i dont see any other option, its not creating new hosts like the floods combat forms, and its not particualrily good at spreading the infection beyond its imediate vicinity. But on an alien/galactic scale like the floods playing field i dont see why the autophage cant infect other life forms, or atleast use their biomass, the swarm walkers seem to have a level of control over their swarms but i dont think we see any other examples, but it feels implied most wildlife became meals for the infected. But even then the hornets/bees affected the infected like any other environmental condition and became an extention of the infection. Alot of this is up in the air and i thinks thats intentional on the minds behind the Autophage because i belive they may have created one of the most overpowered zombie origin scenarios even concieved. The possibilites are pretty much an open book but with two distinct paths, first "the biomass does nothing and is just a set piece" Or its gonna be a book full of cosmic horror level stuff up there with Marvel Zombies and the Flood. Remember, if everyone either becomes infected or a numen it will be the numen who inherit the earth and our instinctual drive to reach the stars and expand beyond our borders, perhaps with them not even being the smartest inteligence around.

It’s pretty ambiguous in the game but it is implied that the slayers and Numen are chosen by some higher power. I’m assuming we’ll get more answers through DLC hopefully.

[@mataszdanauskas448]

Bro did no one notice the system of a down reference ?!

[@Gothic7876]

My belief is that Pathogen HK just forcefully activates the Autophage within human cells. And the outbreak in DI2 used a modified version to kick it off. This hypothesis comes from the fact that a previous Immune (Sam B) can get infected in DI2.

[@memorymangaming]

so if jacob or one of the other survivors were bitten by a zombie from banoi with pathogen HK, would they be immune? or would it be similar to Sam B being immune to pathogen HK but not immune to the autophage?

[@extremegamer103]

The viruses were separate but if sam had a side effect to the one in dead island 2 that means the survivors in dead island two would most likely be immune but the virus that take place in dead island 2 was a more less aggressive version and would effect the mind of people and not so much infect them because if you listen carefully if you hit zombies in dead island one they still sound like humans

Elden ring was also $60 by the way and that beats almost all $70 games that have come out.

[@Angel_principe_Art]

I need to explain this, Pathogen HK wasn’t accidentally leaked on Banoi, it was purposefully released like LAs outbreak by Reuben with the HK1 Virus, Consortium purposefully set up the events of dead island and the heros to arrive on Banoi to purposely start the infection and make it stronger/enhance it and to get their blood for a vaccine as they knew that the virus would kick start the autophage process, as seen in riptide with the mutagen and Japanese tunnels. Aswell those games are canon to dead island 2 and were covered up as explained by Sam B, Banoi outbreak was the first purposely autophage outbreak known so far second Is LA
