How do you get fuses in Dead Island 2?

The only way you can get fuses in Dead Island 2 is by purchasing them from a Trader for $1,500 each.

You can find these merchants scattered across various areas of the game. The first one you should bump into is Carlos in Emma Jaunt’s house near the beginning of the game.

You can only carry up to three fuses at any given time, so make sure that you use them once you’ve gotten your hands on them so that you can stock up on more.

What do fuses do in Dead Island 2?

Fuses open up locked doors and paths in Dead Island 2 and usually lead you to a mini treasure trove of rewards, cash, and powerful weapons.

Once you get near one of these locked areas, that spot should now be permanently marked on your map in case you need to come back later with a fuse.

To use one, simply approach the fuse box and press the action button when prompted. It will automatically be taken out of your inventory and inserted into the box. Doing this will open the door or gate or whatever the obstacle may be.
