One of them is the Dead Island 2 Officer’s Lockbox Key, so we’ve put together this guide to help you find it and open the secure lockbox.
While you might expect the Dead Island 2 Officer’s Lockbox Key to just have a pinpointed location on the map, things are a little more complicated than that. You need to reach a certain point in the game and do things in a certain order to obtain it.
Below, you’ll find all the things you need to do to get the key, open the lockbox, and reap the rewards of what’s inside.
Dead Island 2 Officer’s Lockbox key location and how to open it
To get the Officer’s Lockbox key in Dead Island 2, you need to kill Officer McKenzie. He is a special infected zombie that spawns near the Venice Beach police station. Officer McKenzie is harder to kill than a normal zombie, but when you do kill him, he will drop the Officer’s Lockbox Key. The Officer’s Lockbox key can be used inside the Venice Beach police station armory to unlock a lockbox that has a unique weapon inside.
Officer McKenzie will not spawn until you’ve completed Cold Pork side quest. You get this mission after reaching the Venice Beach section of the main story of the game. You will reach a safehouse called the Blue Crab. You can obtain the Cold Pork quest from the Blue Crab. Once you’ve completed the mission, Officer McKenzie will then spawn near the Venice Beach Police Station and you can fight him to get the key.
