đĽŠGet some âmeat baitâ from Carlos
You can buy âmeat baitâ from Carlos and sell or buy weapons above common level.
You need to click on âVISIT PROSâ in the main menu, open the site and request a membership and reward, so that you can see that Carlos sells âTricksterâs Smileâ for $0.
Even if âVisit prosâ looks greyed out, as if it doesnât work, clicking on it will connect.
Kai, the trader on Venice's beach, and Dougie, the trader on Ocean Avenue, will also be selling the Deluxe or Gold Edition rewards for $0 only once.
đą The Dead Island 2 Gold Edition on Epic and Steam is the same price, but the âMemories of Banoi Packâ included in the Gold Edition on Epic but itâs not on Steam. đ¤Ź
đ°Storage Locker
In the âWeaponsâ tab, Storage Locker, you can pick up weapons from other Slayers, and you can find unpicked weapons in the âUnclaimed Propertyâ tab, as well as things that other Slayers havenât picked up. You can also use this trait to leave up to 16 of the Disaster Relief Crates and Weapons that have been dropped from the other 30 level Slayer and sell them to the vendor after you get them from the locker with the Slayer youâre playing now.
đLet Emma know youâre heading out to find the authorities
Talk to Emma and go on the road, but after the conversation, you donât have the key to Emmaâs house, you canât go out, so you need to talk to Michael.
đSurvivor Skill Card âInvigoratingâ
In Emmaâs room, near the bed, there is a Survivor Skill Card âInvigoratingâ.
đ§The house is locked up tights, but Michael can let you back door
Talk to Michael at the back door and youâll get the key to Emmaâs house and be able to leave.
đTell the authorities youâre immune â
When you step out the back door of Emmaâs mansion, youâll be able to co-op play. But I only play single-player, so I wonât explain this part.
đEddieâs Toolbox + Green Thumb Eddie
From the beginning of the story quest âThe search for truthâ, when you come to the pool behind Swansonâs mansion in Bel-Air, youâll find âGreen Thumb Eddieâ (Butcher).
The location information related to this quest is as follows.
1ď¸âŁGreen Thumb Eddie
2ď¸âŁEddieâs Toolbox
3ď¸âŁCoach Ace
4ď¸âŁCoachâs Car Trunk
âGreen Thumb
âď¸How to defeat âGreen Thumb Eddieâ
Circling around the pool, guiding Eddie through the pool. Youâll also need to electrocute Eddie to kill him, but due to a recent game update, Apex zombies will need to be electro-attacked.
Apex Zombies donât get knocked out by kicking. So, once the zombie is out of shock, youâll have to either run away or stay in the water and electrocute him with a weapon with a âStatic Charge perkâ or attack him with a weapon in fire mode.
âStatic Charge perkâ can be obtained by completing the Static Charge challenge. This is done by inflicting the electrified status effect on zombies 50 times.
You can attack with âMolotov cocktailsâ and âElectric bombsâ.
âMolotov cocktailsâ can be obtained during the story quest âThe Heart of Darknessâ, while âElectric Bombsâ are unlocked by clearing the Lost & Found quest âJoâs Rainy Day Stashâ in Venice Beach.
If you run around the pool and repeat the above attacks, youâll be able to defeat Eddie. At the beginning of the game release, defeating Eddie would drop a shotgun, but not nowadays.
đEddieâs Toolbox
You can get âVampire Machine Pistolâ by opening âEddieâs Toolboxâ in the pickup truck at the back door of Emmaâs mansion.
đCoachâs Car Trunk + Coach Ace
If you go to the tennis court at the back of Swanson Manor, youâll find a runner named âCoach Aceâ in the right corner who is eating.
I havenât checked it, so I donât know, but Iâm guessing âCoach Aceâ is about level 7~8.
3ď¸âŁCoach Ace
4ď¸âŁCoachâs Car Trunk
âDeadly Zombies
âDeadly Zombiesâ is a zombie that is at least 2 levels higher than you, and you will usually die immediately after being hit by a zombie that is 4 levels higher than you.
đWhat you need to prepare
Due to a recent game update, the extent to which the pool is electrically connected and the sparks affect the zombies differently than when the spark is visible and not.
Now we donât have ranged weapons, and luckily in an electrified pool, shamblers, walkers, and runners are electrocuted. Therefore, you need to connect the battery to the generator connected to the pool.
If youâve already plugged in the battery in the story quest âDesperately Seeking Emmaâ, you donât need to prepare anything, but thereâs a problem.
This is a problem that occurs on both Epic and Steam accounts⌠As shown in the screenshot below, there is no battery, but electricity is plugged in.
As you progress through the story quests, it will change so that you can pull the battery out.
When you pick up the key at the end, you have to go into the pool to pick it up quickly, get outside, and if you get electrocuted, treat it quickly with the Med kits. Due to a recent update, the shock is likely to continue until you die.
âď¸How to defeat âCoach Aceâ
Throw the battery at the âCoach Aceâ or slap him and run away to the pool quickly!
Circling around the pool and stopping at the fountain to see where the coach is, and attack or kick the coach when he tries to walk through the pool and into the fountain.
Recently, unlike at the beginning of the gameâs release, zombies tend to avoid places where there is electricity. With each update, the difficulty increases a little bit, and it feels like the AI is being trained.
đCoachâs Car Trunk
After defeating the Coach, remove the battery from the generator and use the Coachâs key to open the trunk of the black car parked near the side door of Emmaâs mansion to get a âRare Agile golf clubâ.
Until April 2024, on Epic accounts, this trunk could be obtained by doing new quests or reopening the Disaster Relief Crates when it was reset. You can only get it once on your Steam account.
When playing with an Epic account, the lockboxes that can be obtained over and over again in Bel-Air are the âCable Van Trunkâ, which can be obtained from the story quest âThe Chosen Oneâ.
