Dead Island 2: How to get the Security Guard's Cooler key

Dead Island 2 taunts players with the many locked chests and boxes scattered around Hell-A that cannot be opened without a specific key.

Some of these keys can be found from random enemies wandering nearby, or completing a series of side quests or traveling to a specific location.

You can find the Security Guard's Cooler Key early on in Dead Island 2 to open a box of Security Guard's Cooler kept in someone's office, but it can be difficult for players to find if they're not looking in the right place. The instructions below will show the player where the Guard's Cooler is and how to get the key needed to open it.

You can find the Security Guard's Cooler in the Guard room in the security booth outside the front of the studio in the Monarch Studios area. The player can encounter it naturally at the top of the Monarch Studios area while completing the seventh main quest, which is Michael Anders and the Holy Grail.

The cooler will require a Guard's Cooling Key to unlock, which might seem a bit odd for a small cooler, but players won't have to travel far or complete other story missions to get it. key.

The front gate near the Security Guard's cooler at Monarch Studios will be locked indefinitely, but there's an open fence on the right that the player can access using this entrance to the filming area. Once on the grounds, the player will have to walk to a narrow lane next to Sound Stage 7, where a trailer for an actor named Jimmy Montana is located.

The area is marked in the map above, but it's the only trailer in the alley, and the trailer door will have Jimmy Montana's name on it. The player who opens the door will find the actor murdered by a zombie security guard. This zombie is not a special zombie and does not require the player to use any specific tactics to defeat.

Defeating the security guard zombie will drop the guard's Cooler Key. The player can then return to the cooler and receive a baton weapon that can be slightly more powerful than what the player currently has and is best obtained when first visiting Monarch Studios.
