How to unlock the Apex Predator achievement in Dead Island 2 - Definitive Guide

If you are having trouble with Apex zombies I found an exploit that will help your fights with them.

If you HOLD BLOCK and SPAM THE RIGHT TRIGGER you can get a perfect defense 99 out of 100 times. This works on Apex as well (but not their jump attacks Edit: Actually I think it works for jump/slam attacks too) (For smaller enemies this is also a great way to rack up those finishing moves). This little trick is truly overpowered when you mix it with other ability cards. Like creating an explosion when perfect blocking and healing when perfect blocking.

It's not as good as it is against non-apex enemies but it's still what I have been using. I have a skill card that heals me a little each time I do a perfect block. So I do the block exploit on an Apex, it stuns them a second or two, hack, hack, hack. Rinse and repeat while jumping over their slam attacks.

NOTE: You will not start with the ability to block. It will be unlocked automatically through playing. Each character will get it at different times. For example, block will be the very first unlock for her. Other characters will not get block until you reach level 10.

Who is “her”?

Update: it is Clara, as written here: Solution for Coup de Grâce In Dead Island 2

Quite easy to get, you should get this just naturally playing but if you are looking to target this specifically what I would do is…

Get bras knuckles and add specs to it that increase its durability and attack speed. Then find bloaters to beat up. Just spam RT beating them up and they will eventually drop to their knees as you’re whaling on ‘em. That’s how I got it

A good way to do this is to target the legs of a Screamer or Crusher until their balance bar is drained (the blue bar underneath their health). Trying to do this to a Slobber is a fool’s errand, as you’ll get vomited on - it’s better to keep your distance. Do this to Screamers and Crushers by hacking at their knees ten times, wearing down that blue balance gauge, and this will eventually unlock. Curveballs like the Shuriken are also good for whittling down an Apex's balance, so experiment with those, too.

The highest are: big guys (jocks), fat guys, screamers, butchers. You can knock him down just like through the ability of the card to hit the ground, or you can take a sledgehammer - you can also knock him down with a sledgehammer.
