Becki the Bride is the first boss players encounter in Dead Island 2, introducing players to some of the game's toughest enemies in the Zompedia. Dead Island 2's Becki the Bride is a hilarious twist on the Bridezilla mentality as players get to 'dance with the bride' on a wedding party dance floor and defeat the intimidating, gruesome boss.
Becki the Bride is also the first time players begin defeating Dead Island 2's crushers, a tank zombie with powerful attacks that can catch some players off-guard. Becki appears toward the end of the 'Room Service for Major Booker' story mission in the Halperin Hotel. Fortunately, with a few handy boss fight tips, defeating Becki is a breeze.
How to Beat Becki The Bride In Dead Island 2
Defeating Becki the Bride is a bit of a grind. However, there are some key strategies and techniques to beat Becki as fast as possible:
Learn To Block
Learning how to block in Dead Island 2 is crucial to beat Becki. Blocking helps protect players from losing health too quickly, but a well-timed block is essential to win the fight. If players time their block just as Becki hits, they can temporarily stun her. This technique gives players a small window of opportunity to hit Becki with a powerful melee weapon and unleash critical damage.
Repeating this strategy also causes Becki to drop to her knees, damaging her stability and enabling players to get up close and cause more damage when she's vulnerable, as the UI states. This technique also comes in handy for defeating other crushers that appear as the game progresses.
Use Nearby Healing Supplies
Players may also want to take note of the locations of Dead Island 2's healing items around the room, like med kits, protein bars, and energy drinks. There's plenty located on the sides of the dance floor and on top of the 'Mrs' letters on the stage. Grab these before activating the radio to begin the battle, or know where to look if health gets critical.
Avoid Becki's Ground Pound
As well as kicking or swiping, Becki attacks by jumping and pounding the ground in a stomp that can knock the player down if standing inside the AoE. Sometimes jumping to avoid the impact can work if Becki is close by, but it's best to back up where possible to avoid Becki's ground pound.
Choose A Powerful Weapon Mod Or Experiment With Environmental Kills
Ideally, players may want to choose a powerful weapon that doesn't overly drain stamina, especially when other zombies join the party. However, melee weapons like the machete modified with Dead Island 2's electrocutor mod can be very effective in inflicting additional electricity damage. On defeating Becki, players unlock the War Cry skills card.
Players who want to liven up the party more can try causing electricity damage with the overhanging electricity cable by luring Becki or using the nearby water Jerry cans to form an electric puddle trap or the fuel cans to make a similar fiery death trap. Players can also throw a weapon against the overhanging lights to turn them into falling electric projectiles.
