Quick Links
Fast traveling inDead Island 2is not a necessity thanks to the small linear areas of the game, but it is still a useful tool to have in your arsenal. Fast traveling may not sound complicated, and it isn’t, but because the game doesn’t give players a great outline of how it’s done, it can be easy to overlook this mechanic.
RELATED:Dead Island 2 Review: A Killer Time
There is at least one fast travel point in every area of the game, with some locations having two. These are available very early on in the game and come in the form of maps. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these red posters.
Fast Traveling
Players won’t have to wait long in Dead Island 2 before fast traveling becomes available. To fast travel, all players need to do is find one of the red maps (these are located in most safe houses/bases dotted around the world) and then interact with it to commence fast traveling. They are usually located near to workbenches or weapon lockers, but there is still the occasional outlier in the bunch.
Fast Travel Locations
Below is a full list of fast travel locations, so players know they haven’t missed one. While most of them will become accessible during story missions, there are a few that are found only by exploring the given area, so they’re easy to miss for players that like to focus on the narrative.
Bel-Air (Emma Jaunt’s Mansion)
The fast travel map at Emma Jaunt’s mansion will be the first one that players come in contact with. It is located on the dining room table in the mansion, across from the workbench and weapon storage box.
Beverly Hills (Roxanne’s House)
The fast travel map in Beverly Hills will be the second one players have access to. It is very easy to spot as it should be located on the wall to the right as soon as you enter Roxanne’s house. This is the house that is home to Rikky Rex, for context.
Halperin Hotel (Janitor’s Office)
The Halperin Hotel fast travel map will be found quite a bit inside the building. It can be found just before you climb the elevators at the end of the long hallway on the first floor. It is located in the Janitor’s office.
Monarch Studios (Green Screen)
This fast travel map is located at the far end of the area (in relation to where you originally entered coming from Beverly Hills) behind the green screen. For further reference, it is located just past the giant spider machine. It can be found, more specifically, sitting on a table near the workbench.
Brentwood Sewer (ZFZ Near Patton’s)
The first fast travel point players will encounter in the Brentwood Sewers can be found shortly after players meet Patton, an extremely likeable character that lives out his days secluded from the outside world.
Brentwood Sewer (Maintenance Room)
The Maintenance Room fast travel point in Brentwood Sewers is located toward the end of the sewer area after players have waded through some seriously dangerous zombie territory.
Venice Beach (Blue Crab Grill)
Once players emerge in Venice Beach after leaving the sewers, they’ll find the Blue Crab Grill and the few allies within. This is a place that players will visit often as there are a lot of missions that stem from here.
Venice Beach (The Tower)
Venice Beach’s Tower fast travel point is located in the military area on the beach. Players will have to wade through quite a few zombies to get here. If is located at the top of the tower in the middle of the military complex and this fast travel point is exceptionally easy to miss since players are not required to visit this location to complete the game.
Ocean Avenue (Serling Hotel)
The Serling Hotel fast travel point in the Serling Hotel is located at the top of the mall. This is where players will meet Dr. Reed for the first time and the location plays a pretty heavy role in the game’s narrative.
The Pier (Lifeguard HQ)
The Pier’s fast travel location is located in the Lifeguard HQ on the beach just off the Santa Monica Pier. The map itself is located at the top of the HQ so players will need to make their way through and to the top of the structure to find it.
The Metro (Utility Storage)
This fast travel point is located deep within southern California’s metro tunnels. There are a lot of high-difficulty zombies in this area, so the fast travel point and the safe zone surrounding it are extremely welcome sights.
Hollywood Boulevard (Re-Aging Clinic)
This fast travel point is only available in the very last mission of the game. Players can fast travel here after the game is complete, but they won’t be able to explore the area seen prior to this location, only what’s seen after they reach the Re-Aging Clinic.
