Finding and Utilizing Every Fuse Box in Dead Island 2

Fuses grant access to special locked loot rooms in Dead Island 2. As a seasoned zombie survival gamer, I‘ve uncovered all their secrets – from fuse availability to the epic weapons inside. This definitive guide shares expert strategies for acquiring and using fuses to gear up and dominate Los Perdidos‘ undead menace.

What Are Fuses and Why You Want Them

Fuses unlock doors guarding small treasure rooms stuffed with valuable supplies. Here‘s the typical haul inside:

• Medkits/Repair Kits – Essential consumables for sustaining your zombie cleaving
• Weapon Upgrade Parts – Customize and boost your gear‘s lethality
• Zombproof/Blighted Weapons – Rare and powerful zombie shredder weapons

Securing a steady fuse supply means consistent access to equipment for becoming an apex zombie slayer.

You can carry up to 3 fuses simultaneously – so choose loot rooms wisely. Once used on a fuse box, an icon on your map marks it as opened.

Acquiring Fuses from Reliable Traders

I‘ve established trade connections ensuring reliable fuse supply lines across Los Perdidos:

When scavenging, focus on selling spare weapons/items to quickly earn fuse-purchasing funds.

Now let‘s unpack how to spot fuse boxes in the wild and use fuses to secure that sweet zombie-slaying loot!

Locating Hidden Fuse Boxes

Keep an eye out for question marks on your map – they indicate fuse boxes grafted onto walls around locked doors.

Approach the fuse box prompt to insert a fuse and unlock the connected door, allowing access to guarded goodies within.

Beware – these rooms teem with zombies. I‘ll highlight tactical preparations for tough foes ahead.

First up – ideal early game fuse box targets.

Top Fuse Locations Accessible After Game Start

Stockpile fuses ASAP by hitting these easily accessed boxes:

Back Alley Weapon Bonanza

• Location: Behind Carlos‘ Hideout
• Loot Quality: Zombproof Slayer Hoard (Rare Weapon)

This path puts you on a collision course with around a dozen basic zombies. I suggest packing a Custom Baseball Bat or small Axe for crushing close combat.

Clearing the room nets a standout Zombproof case holding rare weapons like the Compact Semi-Auto Shotgun – a room sweeper!

Pillage the Alleyways

• Location: Side alley near Hideout
• Loot Quality: Consumables/Crafting Parts

Tracing the alley leads to a small encounter with 3-5 zombies. A solid opportunity to replenish your consumable stock.

Now let‘s move beyond the starting areas to more advanced fuse boxes!

Late-Game Fuse Box Locations

The following fuse caches offer epic weapons for tackling Los Perdidos‘ immense zombie masses:

Lethal Contraband

• Location: Southwest locked room
• Loot Quality: Blighted Slayer Hoard (Epic Blade)

This fused door in the maze-like alleys hides the motherlode – a Blighted case containing devastating Epic grade bladed weapons!

Plan for a swarm of ~20 zombies including a hulking Bruiser for this supreme prize! I suggest packing plenty of Incendiary Throwing Knives combined with a Custom Fire Axe to ignite/dismember the horde.

Pest Control

• Location: Upper floor of liquor store
• Loot: Zombproof Hoard (Epic Heavy Weapon)
• Zombies: ~30 Common Infected + 1 Suicider

This 2-story liquor shop‘s top floor is infested with hitpoint-heavy foes. Clear them out to claim the Epic Executioner‘s Greataxe from Zombproof storage!

Mastering Zombie-Infested Fuse Rooms

When tackling any fused door, assume a lengthy zombie battle awaits on the other side. So I have strats for managing these cramped fights:

• Toss Incendiary Grenades before entering to soften up mobs
• Retreat and funnel zombies through doorways during combat
• Always pack an AoE or crowd control weapon (shotgun/molotovs)
• Use doorways as chokepoints to limit enemies that can attack at once
• Never get surrounded – keep mobile and break contact when overwhelmed

Follow my veteran tips and you‘ll cut through to every fuse box‘s rewards!

Recapping Vital Fuse Strategy

Here are the key tactics for fuse fortune and glory:

• Regularly purchase fuses from major settlement traders
• Vigilantly scan maps for question marks signaling fuse box locations
• Balance fuse use between consumables vs rare weapon loot rooms
• Prepare weapons tailored to the zombie threat waiting behind each fused door
• Sell unused equipment to quickly finance more fuse purchases!

As long as you remain supplied with fuses, you‘ll reap major gear upgrade materials – allowing ever-escalating zombie destruction!

Now get out there, track down those fuse boxes, and claim your undead-slaying bounty!
