Collectibles and Static Weapon Locations on Dead Island PC Message Board - Page 1

I'd like to get a list going of all collectibles and the static weapon locations.

By static weapon locations, I mean weapons that are always there no matter what, an example would be the paddle in the pool house (starting location). Each time you load your game and go to the pool house you can get another paddle, no matter what.

List format:

Name: Location - Act/Chapter - Available at all times/Quest needed to open area/Key needed to open area/Other

For "Other" either jumping or climbing
-----

I appreciate any and all help with this.

Can you get any vaguely unique/decent weapon outside of a loot drop or quest reward?

because as far as i can tell, every basic weapon that's lying around (plank, paddle, wrench, shovel, etc) ALWAYS comes back when you leave/return...

if you ain't cheatin', you ain't trying...

Not that I know of, though to be honest I wasn't really looking before. I do know that there are some weapons that can be modified just lying about that can be picked up again and again from the same location. The diving knife in the surf shop is an example of this, so there is the chance that you can find good weapons from static locations.

Lastly, Off-topicish but good information about the impact of multiplayer as well as level scaling

Well it's a start, and it's a very good start. Still, just knowing something is in an act, and actually knowing where to find it are different things. For instance:

ID Card #1 - In front of an open bungalow with suitcases outside the door.

this is what I'm talking about, but at least I know how many I need before moving on to Act 2 now, so that's a plus.

I would show you the parts in the brady guide but that isn't allowed...

The brady guide has the map locations and explanations of where they are at in it but the brady guide lacks any skull and dev mod information

Edit: Oh and after careful study of the data files I found out that there are only 5 skulls which are all listed within forum post that I have in my infomation packed post...Enjoy your 5 melee/throwing dev weapons!

Also, 'Legendary Items' Cannot be obtained until you reach act 2

'Legendary Items' are always orange, any other orange items than what is listed below are just rare loot
Melee_leg_Italianplumber
Melee_leg_AssassinsGreed
Melee_leg_Homerun
Melee_leg_BluntSpeaker
Melee_leg_VikingOfTheSouth
Melee_leg_Ban
Melee_leg_M.C.
Melee_leg_Two-Parter
Melee_leg_MasterChef
Melee_leg_Bushmaster
Melee_leg_BouncersPal
Melee_leg_Banisher
Melee_leg_Eviscerator

You can pretty much guess what types of weapons they are by the names that they go by..

One more thing to add! Ammo Mods so I can just refer to my own posts in order to find needed items

Good, thanks. I think everyone who pre-ordered should have gotten the guide as well, but that's probably just me.
