#DEAD ISLAND SAVE EDITOR NOT WORKING PATCH#

If you're playing the first Dead Island to boost your character for Riptide, there're a few tricks to help you fast-level.

Note that the new Weapon category related skills (which require 'mastery' through usage) start at Level 0 regardless if you import a character or not, since they are new to Riptide. Use that chance to buy up any remaining skills you believe are helpful. Luckily the level cap is past 60 (probably 70), so you will have some measure of play if you imported a high level character. but without your high-level equipment (Zed's Katana, etc.).

Remember that Riptide (launch version 1.3.0) takes many of the changes from Dead Island's last patch (scaling XP and money earned from quests and monster drops, scaling weapons and rewards, etc.) so importing a high level character into Riptide will put you against high level zombies. John, the new Riptide character, naturally cannot be imported from the first game, nor can the character of Ryder White be used. Some things not carried over are the new skills in each character's skill tree (Faster Get-Up, Sprinting Attack, etc.). Importing a character is an easy one-step press of a button you may import any of your characters from Dead Island to a new save slot on Riptide. It's important to note that only a character's skills (and level) are carried over not any of their previously unlocked Blueprints, weapons, or items (as some blueprints and items in Riptide have been changed or modified).
