A first-person zombie shooter running on a console-grade engine, wrapped in a global outbreak story with 100 plus missions. It plays offline on a phone, holds sixty frames on most mid-range chipsets, and installs free from Google Play.
What is Dead Trigger 2
Dead Trigger 2 is the sequel to the original Dead Trigger, the zombie shooter that proved Android phones could push console-quality 3D back in 2012. Madfinger Games shipped the follow-up in 2013 and has updated it ever since, with Deca_Games now running the show. The free Google Play release has crossed one hundred million installs and still sits at a 4.5 rating across roughly 5.1 million ratings.
The campaign spreads a global outbreak across thirty-three real-world regions, ten distinct environments, and 600 plus scenarios that blend story missions, side jobs, and timed events. Your base of operations anchors all of it. A gunsmith forges weapons, a medic researches health and damage upgrades, an engineer builds gadgets, and a scientist crafts ammo and grenades. That base layer quietly turns a straight FPS into a soft action-RPG.
Most mission types work offline, which counts for a lot in markets with patchy data. Controls are touch by default, with two virtual stick presets, optional gyro aim, and full controller support once you pair a gamepad. The base game is free with optional in-app purchases priced from 0.99 to 99.99 USD. The modded build on this page drops those purchase walls so the gunsmith and engineer tracks open up without the grind.

What this mod offers
The modded build of Dead Trigger 2 3.1.3 leaves the full vanilla campaign untouched and adds a pause-menu overlay on top. Every switch is optional and off by default. Play it exactly as Madfinger and Deca shipped it, or flip a few toggles for a sandbox run that skips the IAP storefront.
- Unlimited ammo across all weapons.
Every magazine reloads to full the instant it empties. Handy in the heavy weapon tier, where ammo costs normally gate experimentation against the tougher infected types.
- Unlimited cash and gold.
Both in-game currencies snap back to full whenever the mod menu is on. That lets the gunsmith and engineer rooms unlock at your own pace, with no farming side jobs for parts.
- Mod menu overlay.
A pause-screen panel lays out every switch. Toggle health, ammo, cash, gold, weapon-unlock state, and god-mode on their own. Each one is reversible, and nothing writes a one-way flag to your save.
- All weapons unlocked at the gunsmith.
The full sixty-plus weapon catalogue is open from your very first run. With the mod on, crafting timers and resource costs simply go away.
- ESP enemy tracking.
An optional outline overlay marks enemy positions through walls. Off by default. It pairs best with the harder mission tiers, where one ambush can end a run.
- Auto-fire option.
The auto-fire toggle keeps your equipped weapon firing without a held screen press. It helps for one-handed play and for anyone 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.
