Dead Island 2 is packed with a multitude of doors, surprising as it may sound. Alongside the array of zombies, weapons, and loot, players will also come across numerous doors that require keys or finding other means of access. These can range from lockboxes to simple storage bins near a pool. Typically, players will need keys, which are primarily obtained by looting specific zombie corpses. Among these items is the Police Dept Keycard, a crucial requirement for players advancing through the Venice Beach Police Department.
The keycard is essential for completing the Cold Pork Side Quest and is also necessary for the Missing: Laura Quest, as well as gaining access to the Secure Storage Room located at the back of the police precinct. Whether players are tackling this task mid-story or returning during their post-game adventures, let's explore exactly where they can obtain the keycard.
Updated on October 8th, 2023 by Jacob Buchalter, Dead Island 2 experienced a period of stagnation since its initial release in April of 2023. Nevertheless, this is expected to change once the Haus and LA Sola Festival DLCs are released in Q4 of 2023 and Q2 of 2024, respectively. While eagerly anticipating these expansions, many players are still embarking on their first playthrough or revisiting the game to prepare themselves for the imminent release of the Haus DLC. With this in mind, let's discuss the specific location of an essential item known as the Police Department Keycard. This keycard is found in Venice Beach and serves multiple purposes, primarily in the completion of the Cold Pork Side Quest.

The Police Dept. Keycard can be found by players during Trent's Side Quest, Cold Pork, although it is not necessary to have this Side Quest active in order to locate the key. Players have the freedom to explore the Police Department at any time and find the key, although they will not be able to access the Secure Storage or the Officer Lockbox inside without it.
