How to get & use Fuses in Dead Island 2

Knowing how to get and use Fuses is key in Dead Island 2 for staying stocked up on essential resources in your fight against the undead. 

Unlike the many other ways to gain loot in the game, however, there's only one way to get Fuses. Luckily, this quick and easy guide of mine will take you through all you need to know. 

Where can you find Fuses?

The only method of getting Fuses in Dead Island 2 is purchasing them from vendors you find in safe houses - which you can spot by looking out for the dollar sign on your map & compass. 

It's worth noting that Fuses cost 1500 dollars a pop, and you can only carry a total of three at a time, meaning you'll need to locate another vendor whenever you run out.

Once you've acquired them, using the Fuses themselves is simple enough; just walk up to a fusebox and interact with it. Once the Fuse is placed in, the electricity will turn on and open the nearby door it's connected to.

You can also follow the wires from a fusebox to find the door it relates to, as not all of the fuseboxes are located right next to the doors themselves.

Areas that are opened by Fuses contain random crafting resources, and containers called a Zomproof Slayer Hoard, which have new weapons for you to collect.

Some also have zombies inside that you'll need to deal with, or a hazard to get rid of, so be wary.
