Quest For Military Supplies Key

There are numerous keys and safes spread throughout Dead Island 2. However, the Military supplies key is one of the earliest keys in the game. After completing the ‘Room Service for Major Booker’ Quest, it can be obtained, which is the fifth mission in the game.

As soon as you finish the ‘Room Service for Major Booker’ quest, you’ll have to return to Bel-Air. While you’re near The Helperin Hotel, you’ll encounter a Crusher-type zombie along the way. The location of this Drill Sergeant Zombie is shown on the map below.

Moreover, the Drill Sergeant appears on Lacuna Avenue, standing in the middle of the street, waiting for fresh meat. Lacuna Avenue will be on your way back to Bel-Air, so you really cannot miss it.

However, if you cannot see the Drill Sergeant or aren’t prepared to fight him, you can come back anytime later. Moreover, you’ll want to stack on some med kits because his hits will hurt you A LOT.

Fighting The Drill Sergeant

The Drill Sergeant will be the second crusher-type zombie you will encounter. The first is Becki the Bride from the ‘Room Service for Major Booker’ story quest. Moreover, these types of zombies are different from any other type since they are bigger and bulkier.

In addition to that, crusher-type zombies, such as Drill Sergeants, are slower and can easily be defeated from range. They won’t run toward you and are easy to avoid if you are speedrunning the game.

On the other hand, if they manage to get close to you, their melee attacks are the strongest in the game. One punch from Drill Sergeant will cost you half your health bar. Furthermore, he also has an attack where he slams the ground, producing waves that will stumble you.

To defeat Drill Sergeant, you must be aware of some things. Firstly, it is best to fight him from range. However, if you don’t have guns, don’t worry; you can still defeat him. Secondly, attack him from the back so he won’t be able to punch you.

By doing this, he will either turn very slowly, while you can do ample damage to him, or he’ll slam the ground to stumble you. Nevertheless, jumping at the right time can easily dodge this attack.

Moreover, try to use your surroundings to aid you in fighting Drill Sergeant. That includes using fire hydrants, electricity, fuel, and fire to inflict extra damage on him.

Another great thing is if you die while fighting him, his health won’t be refilled. So, eventually, you’ll wear him out and finish him off to get the Military supplies key.

Opening The Military Supply Case

Dead Island 2 rewards you for killing the crusher zombie and getting a hold of the Military supplies key. When you defeat Drill Sergeant and loot his body, you can head to the military supply case to collect your reward.

While looting his body, you may see other materials, such as fabrics or alloys. In addition to the key, he may drop some cash for you to collect, as shown in the picture below.

Moreover, the military supply case is located at the end of Lacuna Avenue. You will find the case at the back of a military truck parked there.

Upon opening the military supply case, you will be rewarded with a Guarding Military Knife. It is important to note that the knife’s level will depend on the player’s current level. A player that collects the knife at a lower level will have a military knife with lesser damage.

Therefore, a more patient player may come later in the game to get a more rewarding knife from the military supply case. Whatever the case, the guarding knife will be precious to you regardless of your level.

Having the best weapons is of utmost importance in Dead Island 2, and getting the military supplies key is the first step. The game is filled with side quests and secret keys, making the game more interesting and fun.
