“Ay güey, we gonna hang around forever? Let's hit the gas and fuckin' go!”
— Carla
Carla is one of the six slayers featured in Dead Island 2. Prior to the outbreak, she was a motorcycle stunt woman before becoming trapped in Los Angeles, California during the outbreak.
Description[]
“Carla is a motorcycle stunt rider unfazed by rings of fire, jumps over ravines, and mid-air flips, so the zompocalypse has barely made her break a sweat. Armed with street smarts, an outgoing disposition, and boundless physical confidence, she's embraced the challenges of slaying her way through HELL-A with enthusiasm.”
— Her description from the Dead Island website
