How to Get the Venice Lifeguard Safe Key

Upon discovering the Venice Lifeguard’s Safe in Venice Beach, it’s clear that we’ll need the Safe Hut Key for this Dead Island 2 adventure. Slayers can locate the Lifeguard Hut Safe Key by taking down Brody the Lifeguard. He’s a Runner type zombie, and you can find him hanging out just south of the blue Venice Lifeguard Hut. You can run into him by heading toward the breakwater, south of the Venice Beach map.

He’ll most likely be alone, with only a few fellow infected catching some sun nearby. Deal with him as you please, then scoop up the key in question upon his demise. From there, you can take the key back with you to the blue Lifeguard’s Hut.

Expert Tip: Runner zombies are a bit more agile in terms of combat. They can sometimes dodge your attacks, so be quick with your strikes if you wish to easily take them down. Runners also have hazardous variants to consider.

Once you’ve collected the key, make your way to the hut to unlock the safe. Be sure to turn off the generator while you’re there to avoid electrical damage. Doing so will result in the distribution of a Tenacious Tactical Sword to be a part of your arsenal. From there, this little journey comes to a conclusion, though Venice Beach offers more activities to embark on.

New Apex enemies are introduced, the Blue Crab opens its doors for you, and your skills continue to evolve. Evidently, there are both main and side quests available in Venice Beach. However, there are a few notes to keep in mind if you’re planning to stick your toes in the sand for a while.

How to Get the Bodycount Rifle

Aside from looting a great number of containers, a Legendary Bodycount assault rifle can be retrieved north of the beach. It’s outside of the Venice Beach Lifeguard Tower within Container 66. It’ll be labeled as a “Priority Asset”, acting as the reward for the [REDACTED] side quest.

This Bodycount rifle is a rapid-fire assault rifle that comes with its own set of perks. Its Power Level will be adjusted according to your Slayer’s role-playing status.

In regards to the Lifeguard Tower here, you can pay a visit to W.O. Rodriguez for some military supplies. She’s a hot-headed, misanthropic trader that provides you with the Cremains of the Dead side quest. You can always stop by her at a later time if you need some Heavy Rounds or Shotgun Shells.

In addition to the ammunition from W.O. Rodriguez, Slayers can also get themselves the Flashbang Curveball. Its timed trigger can traumatize a number of zombies within a target area. Plus, it also adds another item to your explosive arsenal to use in creative fashions.
