To open a maglock in Dead Island 2, follow the green wires from the door to the electrical panel or panels powering it, then destroy them. If a panel is behind a window, break the glass and throw a weapon at it. Check for a second panel if the door stays locked, and disable any reachable alarm first if you can.

How to open a maglock

  1. Stand by the maglocked door and look for green electrical wires.

  2. Follow the wires along the walls to the connected electrical panels. Check outside the room and look through nearby windows; a panel can be inside the locked room.

  3. If a panel is behind glass, break the window, aim at the panel, and throw a weapon to destroy it.

  4. Look for an accessible alarm near the door. Disable it before destroying the panels if the layout lets you reach it safely; breaking glass or panels can trigger an alarm and draw nearby zombies.

  5. Destroy the connected panel or panels, then check whether the door has unlocked. Some maglocks require two panels, and destroying both may trigger an alarm.

Where to find the panels

Panel placement varies by door. Follow the wires rather than relying on a single route: a panel may be mounted on an outer wall or visible through a window inside the locked room. The Epic Games Store’s SoLA walkthrough also shows a security-room example that uses two panels.

Venice Beach police station

For the police-station maglock during the Cold Pork quest, Gamer Guides’ walkthrough directs players to follow the green wires to the right and destroy the electrical box visible just inside a window. That route applies to this location; other maglocks can have panels in different places.

Maglock or fusebox: identify the mechanism

A maglock opens when you destroy its associated electrical panel or panels. A fusebox door uses a different mechanic: find a Fuse and install it in the fusebox. Gamer Guides’ Fuse guide describes Fuses as available from merchants. If the door shows a fusebox or prompts you to place a Fuse, use that route instead of looking for maglock panels.
