Deep Silver today revealed more details about the upcoming DLC packs for players pre-ordering Dead Island Riptide, the next installment of the Dead Island franchise.

Pre-order DLC #1: The Survivor Pack

• A BBQ Blade! This special pre-order pack contains an exclusive weapon only available in the Survivor Pack. How better to dispose of the wretched zombies than with a sharp blade? Add in some workbench-modifying and hook it up to a few fuel tanks to bring some heat to a zombie’s heart. The so-called “BBQ Blade” lets you wade through zombie hordes with ease.
• The coveted XP/stats booster: Want that extra edge to level up faster than your peers? Here’s your chance to get ahead of the pack.
• Never get lost – A seamless digital strategy map allows you to track collectibles, keep tabs on your quest progress and flag custom strategies to share with your friends.
• A special shop! The Survivor Pack will grant you access to a shop offering a special discount on weapons and items. Happy shopping!

The Survivor Pack DLC will be made available to everyone who pre-orders the game before its release in regions where it is available.

Pre-order DLC #2: Fashion Victim

Tired of seeing your character go around wearing the same clothes all the time? The “Fashion Victim” pre-order DLC includes a set of new skins for all the player characters (Logan, Purna, Sam B., Xian Mei, and “the new guy” John Morgan) in co-op mode.

In North America the Fashion Victim DLC will be made available to everyone who pre-orders the game before its release.

Content will be redeemable via download on Xbox LIVE® for versions of the game on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows® PC and via the PlayStation®Store.

These DLC packs are also available for individual purchase with the release of Dead Island Riptide. The Survivor Pack will be available for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE® for Xbox 360® or for $4.99 on PlayStation®Store and Steam. Become a Fashion Victim for 160 Microsoft Points or for $1.99.
