“An experimental weapon found in Haus, it uses a mysterious energy to explode zombified brains.”
— In-game Description

The K-prototype is a variant of the Crossbow and a type of Projectile Rupture weapon featured in Dead Island 2. It is introduced in the Haus DLC. It is picked up in The Well, within The Deeper. In the DLC it is required for destroying Dark Brains which block of map sections. It uses the Crossbow Bolts ammo type, also made available with the DLC. The K-prototype is the first Crossbow acquired by the player, after which Crossbows can randomly drop like any other weapon. The K-prototype always spawns as an uncommon Crossbow with a fixed Merciless perk.

Overview

The K-prototype features high damage together with a maximum critical multiplier. Due to this and its Rupture typing, the K-prototype excels at headshots, but otherwise deals mediocre damage due to its singular magazine size. The K-prototype is capable of killing weak zombies in a single headshot and Apex Zombies in multiple headshots. A weak explosion will be triggered if a zombie is killed with a headshot. To compensate for the low magazine size, it is advised to apply the Speedloader perk, which works great with the Merciless perk as well.

Note

• The K-prototype cannot be scrapped, sold or dropped, meaning the only way to get rid of it is by moving it to a temporary Slayer, and removing that Slayer afterwards.
  • The K-prototype should have been droppable after completing the quest The Ark of Ascension, but this was never implemented properly.
• Due to the maxed out critical multiplier of the K-prototype, adding the Honed perk will only reduce its damage by 5% (additive).
