No More Room in Hell 2 is on consoles, and you have various characters you can play as. The game is unlike other zombie shooters such as Call of Duty: Zombies. Players take big risks because the game features permadeath. Therefore, if your character is ranked up and dies, you lose all of the progress and have to start again. It’s a random roll when you pick a new character in the game, but the Responders (as they’re called) have unique skills. Some allow you to deal more heavy damage, while others give you extra health. So if you have the misfortune of losing your character, you should know all of the different options. Not only that, but we also help highlight some of the best professions for the characters, so that you can survive much longer.

The Best Character Professions to Look Out For
While there are many skills in No More Room in Hell 2, there are some that are much better than others. When you choose a new character, try to pick one that has one of the professions below. That way, you can get a good starting perk right off the bat. Furthermore, you can reroll to have a chance at a different character profession.
- Bear Hunter: Being able to deal more damage with heavy shots is very useful for all players. The heavy bullets take down foes with only a shot or two.
- Detective: If you gain the Headblown perk, handguns are even more useful due to the extra headshot damage. However, it’s a win-win as the “Locked-On” skill helps keep your SMG steady. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about wasting ammo with either skill available.
- MMA Fighter: Taking less damage is always a good thing, and the MMA Fighter profession helps. Because it’s sometimes hard to find healing items, this can help with survivability.
- Paramedic: Each group having a medic is advantageous, and this profession is key. Not only do pills help with infection, but now that they heal you is a big bonus. Furthermore, your other skill option allows you to help revive your teammates faster.
- Swim Captain: An increase to your maximum health allows you to use fewer healing items. Therefore, you can save them for when you really need them and are able to be in the fight that much longer.
No More Room in Hell 2 characters each have unique professions, as you can see. All of which have different and useful skills that can help you out in the game.
