Apex Variants is a Journal featured in Dead Island 2. It is one of the collectibles possible used to gain the achievement Bookworm. It is part of The Truth series, specifically the Autophage section. It details advancement on the front of creating Apex Zombies from regular infected, at will, using specific magnetic field environments.

Success!
We have succeeded in artificially gestating autophage evolutions (we have coined the term 'apex variants') from base infected humans.
Dr. Huei's ferrous earo gel substrate has not only proved successful in containing each subject, but also enabled us to test which apex variants emerge from which magnetic field environments.
We hypothesized that the autophage reacts to natural geo-magnetic forces, building nano-scale graphene structures that draw on this energy. We now know this for a fact and have witnessed this relationship being fundamental to the development pathway of each apex variant.
We are close to being able to grow whichever apex variant we desire, simply by modulating the magnetic resonance frequencies in each artificial womb.
Furthermore, we have been able to stimulate each apex variant to adopt the differing macro-scale graphene physiologies associated with super capacitance, plasma focus and black ichor production.
We have as yet failed to find any set of frequencies that revive a subject into a Numen state. Although Dr. Mirza at Site B has reported some form of quasi-sentient apex variant unique to our knowledge.
