Dead Island 2 loves to lock you into mini-boss fights, especially when it introduces a new enemy type. During the end of the Justifiable Zombicide mission, you will encounter your first screamer named Nikki Gutte. In order to get a rifle and progress the story, you will need to make it through this somewhat tedious boss fight. The guide below goes over how to stop Nikki from screaming and get your very first gun in Dead Island 2.
Start of the Nikki Gutte fight in Dead Island 2.
How to Kill Nikki Gutte in Dead Island 2¶
Once you reach Sam B. and Ronnie, you will split up, with you and Ronnie going into the backyard. A cutscene will play where Ronnie mocks the now zombified Nikki Gutte, only for her to show a new screaming ability, summon a horde, and kill Ronnie. This locks you into a battle with her, where you must take her out quickly to keep from being overwhelmed by add-ins. Nikki is a Screamer, a zombie that can cause your character to come to a standstill and move slowly afterward. On top of slowing you down, the screaming will also attract more zombies to the area. This can quickly make the situation feel overwhelming, but Nikki Gutte is actually easy to beat once you realize how to stop her gimmick.
- Staying behind Nikki gives you the ability to attack her easily.
- Hitting her with a charged attack or a thrown item will stop her scream.
- Using traps and curveballs to attack her from a distance.
- There are three medkits in the area, one at the bar, one in the house, and one on the table across from it.
The biggest problem is that Nikki has a large health bar, so it takes a bit to keep her out. At the very least, you will need to deal with the first round of zombies that attack with her at the start of the battle.
Hitting Nikki with a curveball at the start of battle.
There are plenty of cans and lawn heaters that you can throw zombie bait near and then hit to blow up to take care of this problem. Once the ads are dealt with, you can directly focus on Nikki herself. Time your attacks well, and stop screams to avoid attracting more zombies, and you should be able to make quick work of her.
Unlocking Guns in Dead Island 2¶
Directly after you finish the fight with Nikki Gutte, head inside the house to find Sam. He will give you a gun and send you up to Nikki’s bedroom to snipe the zombies that were attracted by the fight. This is an easy task to get you used to aiming with the gun. Try to wipe out all the zombies before they get to the house. If one runs by, then it will head upstairs to your location, quickly kill it and get back to defending the house as soon as possible. You have unlimited ammo in Nikki’s bedroom for this mission, and after a short talk with Sam B. after clearing the yard, you and your new weapon will be on your way.
