Dead Island 2 features a lot of locked doors and chests that require finding a specific key in order to unlock. This can be very frustrating for players starting out and wanting to quickly earn everything that the game has to offer.

Sometimes the necessary key to get may be tied to a specific side quest, or players might have to return after beating a later story mission. However, the Halperin Security Safe can be unlocked once it is found. It may be a challenge for Dead Island 2 players who are under-leveled, but it can be done. This guide will help players locate the Halperin Security Safe and find the Security Guard's Safe Key that is required to open it.

Halperin Security Safe Location

The Halperin Security Safe is located in the Halperin Hotel area, one of the first areas of the game that players will encounter. The safe will be on the counter in one of the security booths outside the front of the hotel.

There are multiple booths in this stage, but the correct one sits between a fork in the path on the initial journey to the hotel. The right side of the path leads to another parking lot area, while the left side leads down into a parking garage.

How to Get Security Guard's Safe Key

Thankfully, the Security Guard's Safe Key is not very far from the Halperin Security Safe. From the safe's location in the booth, players simply need to take the downward path into the parking garage. There will be multiple enemies in the garage, including a few Crushers, but the enemy that is holding onto the key is a security guard.

Players can get the Security Guard's Safe Key by defeating the security guard zombie in the parking garage at the Halperin Hotel. While the security guard is a regular zombie and requires no special tactics to beat it, there are several enemies to deal with at once that could be troublesome.

Some Dead Island 2 players may have to wait and fast-travel back to the area later to get the key but should be a much easier time if playing co-op with friends. The reward from the Halperin Security Safe is a random weapon, though could have some better stats than what players normally find around the environment.

Dead Island 2 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
