Fury Mode, also known as Rage Mode or simply Fury, is a specialized form of attack in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide unique to each Hero.
Overview[]
Each Hero's Rage Mode can be activated by filling up the Rage Bar by killing enemies. When activated, the Hero goes into temporary attack state in which their unique combat abilities are heightened. Any kills the Hero performs while in Rage Mode will accumulate and increase the Rage Multiplier. Once Rage mode is finished, the hero will return to normal and get a load of XP, based on the multiplier. The higher the multiplier, the higher the XP gain at the end is.
Rage mode is designed to be an 'emergency saviour' ability. When you find yourself suddenly swarmed or likely to die to an enemy, you can activate Rage mode to gain greatly enhanced attack power and, with certain skills unlocked, more resilience to damage. Each hero has a unique Rage mode designed around their skills. Sam B uses a blunt weapon, Purna uses a gun, etc. By default, Rage mode lasts for a small amount of time and gives you a brief respite where you can kill things easily; however, when fully upgraded, Rage mode is a powerful tool in your arsenal, able to get you out of any sticky situation whenever you need.
When the hero enters Rage Mode, all nearby enemies will immediately turn aggressive to them and start attacking (regardless of any unlocked skills that draw the enemies' attention away from the player). As such, care should be taken when entering Rage Mode when armed zombies are around, as they tend to quickly throw their weapons at the player, and due of the extreme damage thrown weapons deal, sometimes they can outright kill a player with a single weapon throw, even if they are at full health.
Gameplay[]
Entering Rage Mode needs at least 20 kills by default. However, this amount can be decreased with skills from the Hero's Fury Skill Tree.
Hero's unique Rage Mode[]
- Xian Mei - Bloodrage: takes out a sword, swinging it faster and more powerfully
- Logan Carter - Bullseye: throws a seemingly infinite amount of throwing knives
- Sam B - Haymaker: pummels enemies with his own pair of Brass Knuckles
- Purna Jackson - Guardian: pulls out a revolver with unlimited ammo
- Ryder White - Concentration: pulls out a heavy pistol with infinite ammo and slows time to increase accuracy
- John Morgan - Touch of Power: pulls out a staff and does substantial bodily harm to enemies
Rage Mode formula[]
NumKillsNeeded = (BaseRage - RageReq) / (GainPerKill*(1+Sum(BonusRage)))
| |
BaseRage | 20 |
GainPerKill | 1 |
RageReq | Skills decreasing total amount of rage needed (Volatile, Go Green) |
BonusRage | Skills increasing Rage gained per kill |
NumKillsNeeded | The number of kills needed to activate Rage Mode |
All results are rounded down to the closest decimal (9.4 will give 9).
- Example
John Morgan with full points in Go Green (30% Rage recycled after a rage), Infinite Rage (+15% Rage per Kill) & Burning Fists (+30% Rage per Hand to hand kill):
(20 - (20*30/100)) / (1*(1+15/100+30/100)) = 10.37 => 10
With all skills augmentations, John will need 10 hand to hand kills to fill his Rage Meter (Stomps do not count as hand to hand kills).
With an additional +10% Rage from level 9 Hand to Hand Weapon Proficiencies it gives:
(20 - (20*30/100)) / (1*(1+15/100+30/100+10/100)) = 9.65 => 10
Glitches[]
- A bug has been found when playing the Jungle level wherein the player is in Rage Mode for an extended period of time (a 1/2 hour). The only way to exit out of this bug is to reload last checkpoint or die.
- A glitch makes it possible to drop the weapon used during Rage Mode. The fury weapons are called:
&melee_furyknife_n&
(Xian),&melee_furyfists_n&
(Sam B),knife
(Logan) and&pistol_m9
(Ryder). It should be note, all the Fury weapons have low damage outside the Rage Mode. - It is possible to get the fury weapons on every version especially the remakes by either a glitch or modders.
Notes[]
- It is possible to die in Rage Mode (some skills help prevent this).
- If killed during Rage Mode, the player will have the amount of Rage they had when they died once they respawn.
- While in Rage Mode the player can open crates and suitcases; however, the player has to wait for the Rage to end to pick up whatever loot they found.
Trivia[]
- Ryder White's fury weapon looks like a heavy pistol but has the same ammo as a pistol. It is also the most accurate gun in the game.
