The second season is created by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson and directed by Adam Davidson, Stefan Schwartz, Andrew Bernstein and others. The season continues the story of Madison's group after they escape from a bombed Los Angeles on the luxury yacht of their new ally Victor Strand to the shores of Mexico. The season consists of fifteen episodes and was premiered on April 10, 2016 on AMC.
Daniel Salazar (Rubn Blades) continues to use a Beretta 92FS which he took from Andrew in the previous season. He briefly holds the Beretta in "Monster" (S2E01) and "We All Fall Down" (S2E02). In "Ouroboros" (S2E03), he pulls out the gun and shoots the walkers at the TruWest Airlines Flight 462 crash site (See Flight 462). Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie) grabs the pistol after seeing the approaching boat at the beginning of "Blood In The Streets" (S2E04). The second gun is used by Madison (Kim Dickens) and Travis (Cliff Curtis), until one of the pirates, Vida (Veronica Diaz Carranza), takes it away. Another pirate Reed (Jesse McCartney) also briefly holds the pistol. When reinforcements arrive, a pirate named Ben (Josh Wingate) is also armed with the pistol. In "Captive" (S2E05), Nick (Frank Dillane) reloads the Beretta. Later Madison holds the gun before going to a meeting with the pirates. When the Abigail crosses the border in "Sicut Cervus" (S2E06), Mexican Navy officer Miguel (uncredited) is armed with Beretta 92FS. Madison and Daniel give up their guns to Sofia (Diana Lein), after arriving at Valle de Guadalupe. Another Abigail family staff member Jorge (Ramn Medna) carries the holstered pistol in "Shiva" (S2E07). Brandon Luke (Kelly Blatz) is also armed with the Beretta with a rubber grip, which he pulls out before entering the barn in "Do Not Disturb" (S2E10) and later briefly in "Date of Death" (S2E13). Several Los Hermanos members including Ramiro (Alfonso Jarquin) carry pistols in holsters during the assault on La Colonia in "North" (S2E15). Militiamen who attack refugees from La Colonia on the border carries holstered pistols at the end of the episode.
Antonio Reyes (Ruben Carbajal) carries a Beretta 92FS with wood grips throughout the season. However, he never uses it; the gun is only seen tucked into his pants in "Pillar of Salt" (S2E12) and later in "North" (S2E15) during the assault on La Colonia. Arriving here after the battle, Travis (Cliff Curtis) picks up his pistol and gives it to Madison (Kim Dickens).
Los Hermanos leader Marco Rodriguez (Alejandro Edda) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox as his sidearm during the season. He loads the pistol when Nick and Luciana approach in "Los Muertos" (S2E09).

An enraged Andrs Diaz (Raul Casso) grabs the pistol threatening Travis in "North" (S2E15). Victor (Colman Domingo) picks up the gun from the floor after the short fight, letting the Clarks leave the hotel. On the street, he gives the gun to Madison (Kim Dickens), and when they arrive at the El Pelcano, Travis (Cliff Curtis) holds the gun.
Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie) takes what appears to be a Remington 1911 R1 with adjustable sights and white grips from the holster of the dead Valle de Guadalupe resident in "Shiva" (S2E07) and takes the boy Ramon (Renato Marin Alcalde) hostage, wanting to escape Travis.
Hostile survivor Gael (Edgar Wuotto) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver with chrome hammer and cylinder release at Nick in "Grotesque" (S2E08). When he reloads, he scatters the ammo onto the road, leading to his death at the hands of a crowd of walkers.

One of the Gael's men (David Fernandez Jr.) is armed with what appears to be an uncertain model of Century Arms AK in "Grotesque" (S2E08).

One of the pirates, Breannah (Sarah McCreanor), who hijacked the yacht in "Blood In The Streets" (S2E04) is armed with an M4A1 with an optic scope that Daniel (Rubn Blades) later briefly takes it. She exchanges fire with the approaching Luis Flores (Arturo Del Puerto), who is also armed with the M4A1 with a Crosman CenterPoint 3-9 x 50mm scope and bipod. Luis' rifle is also briefly seen in "Captive" (S2E05). One of the Valle de Guadalupe survivors carries what appears to be a Colt M4A1 in "Shiva" (S2E07). One of the Gael's men (Ben Hernandez Bray) and a scout for La Colonia (Carlos Segura) are armed with M4A1 in "Grotesque" (S2E08). Several Los Hermanos members in El Pelcano supermarket are armed with rifles in "Wrath" (S2E14). Several Los Hermanos members including Ramiro (Alfonso Jarquin) are armed with M4A1 during the assault on La Colonia in "North" (S2E15). Several La Colonia scouts also armed with M4A1s trying to cross the border at the end of the episode as well as some militiamen in the same fight.
A mystical gunman (Dayton Callie) on the U.S.-Mexico border shoots Ofelia with a scoped Kalashnikov USA KR-103 rifle in "Wrath" (S2E14). Several Los Hermanos members in El Pelcano supermarket are armed with KR-103s in the same episode and later during the assault on La Colonia in "North" (S2E15).

She carries the Ruger on the belt at the end of "North" (S2E15) while crossing the border.
In the production shot for "Blood In The Streets" (S2E04), Luis Flores (Arturo Del Puerto) is seen with a Smith & Wesson M&P15 with a Crosman CenterPoint 3-9 x 50mm scope and bipod, but in the episode itself, he uses an M4A1. This may explain the confusion as to why the online feature Story Sync described the rifle as an M&P15.

Victor Strand finally makes his Fear The Walking Dead return following an extended absence, and the former villain has evidently been busy during his time offscreen. As a Fear The Walking Dead veteran, the smarmy arrogance of Colman Domingo's Victor Strand has been virtually ever-present throughout AMC's zombie apocalypse spinoff. The stench of cheap cologne and lies dissipated after Fear The Walking Dead season 7's ending. Strand was one of the many characters seen boarding a raft out of Texas following the fall of his domain, the Tower, but throughout the entire first half of Fear The Walking Dead season 8, his status remained unknown.
Victor Strand's veil of mystery is lifted with the release of Fear The Walking Dead season 8, episode 7, "Anton." Centered almost exclusively on a reunion between Strand and Kim Dickens' Madison, the episode contains scattered reveals about Strand's life during Fear The Walking Dead's seven-year time skip. With Strand and his pals more concerned with the return of Troy Otto and his armed followers, Strand's backstory is presented out of order and through in-dialogue exposition only. Fortunately, a chronology of events can be pieced together.
Prior to "Anton," Colman Domingo's Victor Strand was last seen in Fear The Walking Dead season 7, episode 15, "Amina." After encouragement from an actually-not-dying Alicia Clark, Strand boarded the fleet of rafts that carried Fear The Walking Dead's main cast members from Texas, and sailed across the Gulf of Mexico. From the array of tourist leaflets spotted in the Marsh Light Tours bus, it appears that many of those rafts washed all the way to Savannah, Georgia - very close to PADRE territory. Strand's raft was one of the vessels that hit ground upon the marshes of Georgia sometime between Fear The Walking Dead seasons 7 and 8.
As the tyrannical leader of the Tower, Victor Strand commandeered an old sword as part of his American Civil War-themed getup, using the long, curved blade to both intimidate and impale. Fear The Walking Dead season 8 reveals that Strand abandoned this weapon, leaving it behind in the raft after alighting in Georgia. Relinquishing the sword symbolizes Strand relinquishing his villainous ways after Fear The Walking Dead's Tower debacle. Speaking to Madison in "Anton," Strand reveals how he despised the man he became, and wished to justify Alicia's faith that he could do better. To that end, he dropped the sword that defined his darkest period, and figuratively "killed" the artist formerly known as Victor Strand.
