Dead Island 2: How to Find the Electrician’s key

Dead Island 2 features a beautifully crafted, interactive open world filled with buildings that hold mods, weapons, and essential gear for your character. Many of these items are optional and easy to miss if you are not paying attention—like the Electrician’s Toolbox. In this guide, we will show you where to find the Electrician’s key and how to use it to unlock the Electrician’s box.

How to Find and Use the Electrician’s Key in Dead Island 2

The Electrician’s key can be found in the western part of the Ocean Avenue region of Dead Island 2. You need to defeat a Zombie called the “Faulty Electrician” which is found in a large hole on the road near a red ambulance. If you open the map, you will find a small section of the west side Ocean Avenue map with black ink scribbled on it. The named zombie appears here. However, you must first complete a main mission called The Search for Truth.

This mission involves tracking Dr. Reed’s lost daughter Tisha and exploring the Bean Cup coffee shop on the northwest side of Ocean Avenue. Tisha is actually inside the Thalia building near the coffee shop and one of the apartments near 2C contains the Electrician’s Toolbox. Once you have found the Electrician’s Toolbox, the Faulty Technician named Zombie should appear on the location as we mentioned above.

Defeat that named zombie, and it will drop the “Electrician’s Key”. Now that you have the necessary item to unlock the Electrician’s Toolbox, head back to the Thalia building and go inside the first apartment on the right on the first floor. Open the right door inside this apartment, which also happens to be a closet with suits, shoes, and a few boxes.

Use the Electrician’s key and open the Electrician’s Toolbox to get the Superior Ranged Mutilator Mod.
