Dead Island 2 consists of numerous characters, Colt Swanson being one of them. If you have yet to reach a certain point at the beginning of the game, you may not have stumbled upon him yet. We’ll uncover everything about Colt Swanson, such as when you will encounter him and his role in the game.
Who is Colt Swanson?
Most of the zombies in Dead Island 2 are nameless creatures out to kill you. Now and then, you will find one that has a name and a backstory. Colt Swanson is one of the first you will meet in the game.
In Dead Island 2, you will run into Colt Swanson near the start of the game during the quest “Desperately Seeking Emma.” In this mission, you must battle Bel-Air and cut through 70 Alpine Drive to reach Emma’s house. Colt is the owner of the mansion you break into during your journey.
The moment you get inside the mansion, you know nothing good happened. There are bodies, zombies, and plenty of blood painting the floors. But where does the homeowner come into play?
Well, Colt Swanson is a zombie in Dead Island 2 hiding away in his panic room. He entered the room once infected, and when he turned, he killed the unfortunate soul who went in the room with him.
Concerning the zombie, there is nothing special about him. Colt acts much the same as a traditional Walker. The only difference is that he has a bit more health. He’s not fast, so if you want to beat him and keep your distance, throw weapons until he goes down.

You’ll recognize zombie Colt Swanson in Dead Island 2 when you walk into the panic room. He’s enjoying quite the feast before you disrupt him. The man wears traditional business attire: black suit pants and a white button-down shirt. Once you deal with Colt, you can loot his corpse for the Swanson Mansion Keycard.
Don’t forget to loot the rest of the panic room. You’ll find the Colt Swanson Rehearsal Tape. It’s a funny recording of the poor man attempting to finish a song as he turns into a zombie. So, you get to hear a pleasant guitar tune that transforms into a haunting melody of snarling and death. As you complete the panic room, you can move on and leave the late Colt Swanson behind you.
Dead Island 2 is available on PC, PS5/PS4, and Xbox One/Series.
