Dead Island 2’s version of Los Angeles is littered with safes and lockboxes that you can open and loot. However, you will usually require a key! They aren’t just gonna leave the safes open after all.

Michael’s Safe is one of the first safes you might stumble upon in the game since it’s right in one of the earliest regions.

In this guide, we’ll tell you how to find the key to open this safe.

As for the key, you will need to find a special named zombie around the house. The zombie is called Michael’s Protégé, and you can recognize him by his fedora and lack of pants.

Michael’s Protégé is a simple walker, so he shouldn’t pose much of a threat. Kill him however you see fit; just don’t get swarmed by him and the other walkers in the area.

Check the corpse after you’ve killed him. You should find Michael’s safe key laying on the ground. Just interact with it to pick it up.

After that, head inside the house and look for Michael’s safe. The safe should show up on your compass and map, so it should be pretty easy to find.

Use the key to open the safe and you should get a rare-quality weapon.

Nothing too fancy, but it should come in handy in the early stages of the game! That’s everything there is to know about Michael’s Safe.
