Dead Island 2 features different types of objectives, from main story missions, side quests, and the optional Lost and Found missions. There are also locked chests, safes, and other boxes that require a specific key to open. These lockboxes almost serve as mini-quests since the keys can be earned in different ways.
Some keys require being in a certain Dead Island 2 mission, defeating a random enemy nearby, backtracking after progressing deeper in the story, or beating a specially named zombie. The Skate Things Safe Key requires the latter but is not much of a challenge. This guide will show players where the Skate Things Safe Key can be exactly found, where the Skate Things Store Safe is located, and what players can expect to earn from unlocking the safe.
Skate Things Store Safe Location in Dead Island 2
The Skate Things Store Safe is located at the Skate Things shop in the Venice Beach area of Dead Island 2. There is an entire row of stores just south of the Blue Crab Grill, where the fast travel point is, and the Skate Things store would be at the most northern part of the chain.
The front of the store is all boarded up, but players can go through the alleyway on the right side of the building. There is a broken door in the back where players can crouch-walk through to get inside. The safe will be wedged into the wall behind the store's main counter.
Skate Things Safe Key Location in Dead Island 2
There are no requirements to do beforehand before getting the necessary key for the store safe. The Skate Things Safe Key can be earned by defeating a zombie named Ollie located at the playground in Venice Beach. The appropriately named Ollie is not a special Dead Island 2 zombie and requires no specific tactics to beat.
Ollie will be standing in the middle of the playground on the beach but still close to the row of stores. His location is marked on the Venice Beach map above. The Skate Things Safe Key will drop from his body once killed.
Players can then open the safe, which rewards with a random weapon that may be better than what players currently carry or can find around the environment.
Dead Island 2 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
