About Dead Effect 2
Dead Effect 2 is a sci-fi shooter set aboard a colonist ship overrun by monsters. You explore the ship, fight its enemies and develop your character by collecting and upgrading weapons, gear and body implants. You can play the story missions alone or with friends, or compete against them in PvP multiplayer.

The game includes over 100 upgradable weapons, from pistols and shotguns to plasma guns, bows and swords, as well as over 300 gear items and implants. You can collect dozens of gear sets, ranging from Regular to Mythical; completing a set grants special abilities.
