by NightlyGamingBinge in

To obtain the More Than the Badge side quest in Dead Island 2, speak with Jimmy at the Serling Hotel on Ocean Avenue. (We spoke to him post game but you might be able to do it sooner!) For this quest, he’ll need us to catch the thieves in the alley by the Beancup. You can find this place on the northwestern side of the area. Head to the far end of the alley to find a poster on the wall.

Inspect the poster to cause the Screamer Sasha to spawn. Take her out then loot “The Badge” Poster from the ground. Next, travel to MegaPark on the northeastern side of Silicon St.

When you reach the building inspect the trail of posters leading up the white van to the roof.

On the roof, head straight ahead and collect the Note to Jimmy journal. Next, you’ll need to travel all the way to the very northern part of the area to find Zack the Butcher. Take him out then collect the Manger’s Pass. Hightail it to the mall. Once there, clear out the zombies on the first floor then hand off the key to Ava. Continue fighting the enemies then head to the second level. Defeat the zombies there then head up to the third floor and speak with Jimmy to complete the quest. As a reward, you’ll receive 3,000 XP and a pistol.

Be mindful that you’ll also have to clear out all the zombies in the area. Once you touch the red containers, more will spawn. When you’ve found the correct red container, Cooper spawns. Take out the mutating zombie to complete the quest!
