A first-person zombie shooter built around a console-grade engine, a global outbreak narrative, and 100 plus story missions. Plays offline on a phone, runs at sixty frames on most mid-range chipsets, free to install on Google Play.
What is Dead Trigger 2
Dead Trigger 2 is the sequel to the original Dead Trigger, the first-person zombie shooter that put Android games on the map for console-quality 3D rendering in 2012. Madfinger Games shipped the sequel in 2013 and it has been continuously updated since, now stewarded by Deca_Games. The free-to-play release on Google Play has crossed one hundred million installs and still draws a 4.5 rating across roughly 5.1 million ratings.
The campaign frames a global zombie outbreak across thirty-three real-world regions, ten distinct environments, and 600 plus gameplay scenarios that mix story missions, side jobs, and timed events. A base of operations sits at the centre. From there a gunsmith forges weapons, a medic researches health and damage upgrades, an engineer builds gadgets, and a scientist crafts ammo and grenades. The base layer turns what looks like a straight FPS into a soft action-RPG.
The mobile build is offline-capable for most mission types, which matters in markets with patchy data. Controls are touch by default, with two virtual stick presets, optional gyro aim, and full controller support for users who pair a gamepad. The base game is free with optional in-app purchases priced at 0.99 to 99.99 USD; the modded build on this page removes those purchase requirements so the gunsmith and engineer tracks unlock without grinding.

What this mod offers
The modded build of Dead Trigger 2 3.1.3 keeps the full vanilla campaign intact and layers a pause-menu mod overlay on top. Toggleable, off by default. Play it as Madfinger and Deca shipped it, or flip switches for a sandbox run that does not require the IAP storefront.
- Unlimited ammo across all weapons.
Every magazine reloads to full instantly. Useful for the heavy weapon tier where ammo costs gate experimentation against the tougher infected types.
- Unlimited cash and gold.
The two in-game currencies reset to full when the mod menu is toggled. The gunsmith and engineer rooms unlock at the player’s own pace without grinding side jobs for parts.
- Mod menu overlay.
A pause-screen panel exposes all switches. Toggle health, ammo, cash, gold, weapon-unlock state, and god-mode independently. Each switch is recoverable, nothing writes a one-way flag.
- All weapons unlocked at the gunsmith.
The full sixty-plus weapon catalogue is available from the first run. Crafting timers and resource costs are removed when the mod is on.
- ESP enemy tracking.
Optional outline overlay marks enemy positions through walls. Off by default. Best paired with the harder mission tiers where a single ambush ends a run.
- Auto-fire option.
The auto-fire toggle lets the equipped weapon fire continuously without a held screen press, useful for one-handed play and for users with limited mobility in their dominant hand.

FAQ
- Is Dead Trigger 2 free on Android?
- Yes. The official Dead Trigger 2 app on Google Play is free to install with optional in-app purchases that range from 0.99 to 99.99 USD. The modded APK on this page is the same 3.1.3 release with a pause-menu mod overlay that removes the purchase requirement, intended for evaluation and for readers in markets where IAP pricing exceeds local purchasing power.
- Does the mod work offline?
- Most missions run offline once the game data has unpacked on the first launch. A network connection is required for the initial setup, for events, and for any side jobs flagged as online-only. Offline play is the design default for the campaign and the daily loop.
- What is the difference between Dead Trigger 1 and Dead Trigger 2?
- The first Dead Trigger from 2012 ran a series of isolated missions inside small arenas with a single shop and no persistent base. Dead Trigger 2 added the base layer with four upgradeable rooms, a global region map, a connected story arc, controller support, and a continuously updated content pipeline. The graphics engine was rewritten between the two releases.
- What Android version do I need?
- Dead Trigger 2 version 3.1.3 requires Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later. The APK ships universal binaries that run on both arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a devices. Mid-range phones from the last six years handle it comfortably at 60 frames per second.
- How big is the download?
- The modded Dead Trigger 2 APK is approximately 562 MB. Reserve at least 1.5 GB free for the install, the unpacked game data, save files, and the recommended cache headroom. The download is a single APK file with no separate OBB asset bundle.
