Dead Island 2 is a bloody zombie action game with a linear storyline and no open world, in which players explore various locations. These areas can be huge and often require revisiting for valuable resources or weapons. Walking can be tiring, but the game has a fast travel system. In this guide, we will explain how to use this feature in Dead Island 2 and its peculiarities.

Although the fast travel system in Dead Island 2 is not necessary for completion, it is an extremely useful opportunity to save a significant amount of time that can be used for more important purposes. With it, players can instantly move between different locations from the very beginning of the game. However, figuring out how it works can be challenging, as the game does not provide players with a clear understanding of the principles behind the fast travel system. Below, we will explain more about its capabilities in Dead Island 2.

How Fast Travel Works in Dead Island 2

At the beginning of the game, all players have the ability to use the map to track activities in each area and see the layout of all regions of Los Angeles. However, the fast travel function will only be available later during the completion of the main quest "Red Mist".

To activate fast travel, you need to approach the map and interact with it, then select the desired area and time of day. The map also displays information about progress and explored areas, as well as additional quests, search quests, and points of interest.

Locations for fast travel

In Dead Island 2, there is at least one fast travel point in each area, but there may be more in some locations. To unlock new points, you need to reach a safe zone with a travel map. However, interacting with the map is not mandatory.

Here is a complete list of fast travel locations, most of which will become available during the course of the main story missions. However, there are a few points that can only be found by exploring the area, so they may be missed by players who are focused on the main storyline.

Bel-Air (Emma Jaunt's Mansion)
