Several garage safes in Dead Island 2 require specific keys, typically dropped by named zombies or found as quest rewards. Below are details for prominent garage safe keys:
Coach's Garage Safe (Bel-Air)
The safe, known as Coach's Car Trunk, is located in the garage of Coach Ace's house in Bel-Air. It requires the Coach's Car Keys.
How to get the key:
- You must defeat a named Crusher zombie called Coach Ace.
- Coach Ace is usually found wandering near the tennis court on Access Rd 782 in the western part of Bel-Air, often close to Curtis Sinclair's mansion. He may appear after you have cleared the area or progressed the story somewhat.
Brock's Garage Safe (Beverly Hills)
Located in the garage of Brock Gold's mansion in Beverly Hills, this safe requires Brock's Safe Key.
How to get the key:
- The key is dropped by a named Crusher zombie, Brock.
- Brock is found inside the gym of his mansion. You gain access to this mansion during the main story quest "O Michael, Where Art Thou?". Once inside, find the gym to encounter Brock.
Nikki Gutte's Garage Safe (Beverly Hills)
Nikki Gutte's house in Beverly Hills has a safe in the garage which requires Nikki's Bounty Reward key.
How to get the key:
- This key is obtained by defeating a named Screamer called Target Practice (who was Nikki Gutte).
- Target Practice can be found in the backyard of Nikki Gutte's house, often near the shooting range area. This area becomes more accessible during or after the side quest "The Ballad of Rikky Rex".
General Tips for Key Hunting:
- Named zombies (Apex variants) that drop keys often only spawn after certain story progression or after you've visited the location of their associated lockbox/safe at least once.
- If a named zombie isn't spawning, try leaving the area (fast travel to a different zone and back) or completing more quests, then return to their spawn location.
