Dead Island Keys

[Tamar Navratil]

Aftera lengthy development cycle, Dead Island 2 finally launched and has become a big hit with players. In the first 3 days of availability alone, Dead Island 2 sold over a million copies, an impressive achievement considering how rough and chaotic the development was over nearly 10 years. The feat is even more impressive considering the competition surrounding it including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launching a week after, and other huge AAA games also releasing soon like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo 4, and Final Fantasy 16 to name a few.

Although Dead Island 2 isn't a true open world title, as it is made up of multiple large spaces players can explore, developer Dambuster Studios has made sure that each map has plenty of things to do outside of the main campaign. Side quests will certainly take up plenty of time, typically leading to new weapons, items, and XP, but players are also encouraged to explore every nook and cranny to discover collectibles, Easter eggs, and other secrets.

Keys in Dead Island 2 are an important collection item as there are many locked things to break into from safes, houses, chest and much more. This includes a unique vehicle called Coach's Car, which has a valuable weapon in the truck if Dead Island 2 players know where to look for the key.

Dead Island 2 players won't need to wait too long to kick off this Lost and Found activity as it can be started while in Bel-Air. However, players will need to progress the story long enough to get to the O Michael, Where Art Thou? mission that is started at Emma Jaunt's mansion.

The quest itself will take players through Colt Swanson's house and into his garden area which also features a tennis court. During this mission, players will likely find a named zombie named Coach Ace, typically seen eating a dead body in the corner of the court. Keep in mind that this zombie can be randomized, so ther eisn't a specific thing to look for outside of the name. Thankfully, Coach Ace isn't a special type of zombie, so players can use whatever means available to take them out without too much trouble. After they're defeated, they'll drop the unique item called Coach's Car keys, though not much direction on which way to go from there.

Thankfully, Coach Ace's car isn't terribly far from Swanson's tennis courts. Head northeast along Access Road 781 towards the intersection where it meets Access Road 782. Coach's car is a dark SUV parked on the side of Access Road 782 and players can now use Coach's Keys to pop the trunk open.

Inside, players will find a special melee weapon called the Agile Golf Club. While it may not be among the very best Dead Island 2 weapons, the Agile Golf Club is formidable as the blunt melee weapon generates strong critical hits when hitting the head of an enemy. Killing zombies with it also stacks an agility boost for the player as well.

There are many locked doors and loot containers in Dead Island 2. In our guide, you will find a list of keys, access cards and access codes - we explain where to find them. This will help you explore the game world in 100% and find all the secrets.
