Dead Island Tips and Cheats

Easy Dead Island Money

Get to the Warehouse and collect the baseball bat and hammer. Then fast travel to the Church and sell them for about $400. Keep doing this repeatedly – the items respawn – to build up your cash reserves. (You must be in the City and discovered both the Church and Warehouse).

Easy Dead Island Zombie kills

  • Water Run into the sea when zombies are on your tail, then kick them into the water and drown them to get easy XP.
  • Stock up on Molotovs Following Act 3, go to the lounge in the Hotel where you can pick up 10 bottles of alcohol. Take as many as you can to Harland who will trade you 1 Molotov cocktail for every 3 bottles of booze. Keep doing this – again the bottles respawn – until you’ve got enough Molotovs for widespread zombie carnage.
  • Death from Above If you’re surrounded by a lot of zombies even the odds by jumping onto the hood of a vehicle and then crouching down. You can hit them but they can’t get their rotten zombie hands on you.

Get on top of the car bonnet if you really want to even the odds

Duplicate Dead Island items

  • Only works on the unpatched game When you reach a campaign in Dead Island solo mode, drop all the items you want to duplicate onto the ground. Then kill yourself using a Molotov cocktail or a DeoBomb. When the respawn timer starts, pause the game and reload the checkpoint. When you respawn all the items you dropped will be on the ground but also in your inventory.
  • Look down at your feet, hold [Throw Weapon] then hold [Swing] + Y. If you time it right the weapon will fall out of your grasp and you will throw another one down on the ground.
