Dead Island 2 hit the stores this past Friday, April 21. The zombie video game has been a complete success after the hard journey it has had for more than a decade, and good proof of this is the million copies sold during this weekend alone.
If you are one of those who are exploring this version of Los Angeles full of zombies, in Softonic we are going to help you: we teach you how to get money very fast in Dead Island 2.
Take advantage of the bug
It is well known that phrase that says “take advantage of the bug” as much as possible to take advantage of your game. In Dead Island 2 this precept is not going to be less, so we can use it to our own advantage to get money in a quick and easy way.
To be exact, players can duplicate weapons and materials when playing in an online co-op session. The first step of this “trick” is as easy as equipping all those weapons and materials in the inventory, closing the game and backing up the game.
Once that backup is saved, we start the game again, enter another player’s game and throw all the items and weapons on the ground. Once this is done, close the game and load the game we have backed up with our weapons in the inventory. You can smell where we are going, right? The rest is as simple as re-entering that user’s game and we will have all the weapons and items on the ground at our disposal to pick up.
With this we’ll have everything in duplicate, we can go to a merchant and sell it to them for money. It’s pretty easy and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be fixed right off the bat, since in the end it’s loading a backup. It can be a bit tedious, yes, but if you have good weapons you’ll get a lot of dough.
Explore Los Angeles
This is more of a tip than a trick: exploring Los Angeles is a very simple way to get money in the game. And we explain it to you. The whole city is full of places where there is a lot of money hidden. Especially, those locations that are locked are the best to find money. The main problem with these places is that they are, as we said, locked, that is, you will need a key to open them.
Finding the key that gives access to these rooms is not easy. They are usually hidden throughout the map, all designed for the player to break his head for a while looking for it. In exchange, however, we will obtain objects of greater value, money, weapons and a long etcetera of little things to keep in mind.

Similarly, another way to get money is by killing the zombies. These usually drop small amounts that we can collect from time to time. The “good” thing is that the areas are reset every so often, so here’s another recommendation: don’t stop going in and out of areas where there are many creatures. The more they appear, the easier it will be to get money by killing them.
The rest that we propose is nothing more than applying common sense when looking for money. Of course, like the first trick… nothing. This is the one that will work best for you.
