Dead Island

Dead Island

• New Game + mode

Successfully complete the game. Select "Next Play" to start a second playthrough with all previously earned money and inventory items (blueprints, weapons, etc.).

• Duplicating items

Throw the weapon you want to duplicate. Before it hits the ground, press Up. Then, choose to drop the weapon that is equipped. Exit out of the menu, and pick up both items. Repeat this as many times as desired.
When you reach a checkpoint during any campaign quest in Solo mode, drop the item(s) on the ground you want to duplicate (you can drop all the items in your inventory). Then, kill yourself by using Deo-Bombs or Molotov's. When the respawn timer begins to countdown, pause the game, and reload your checkpoint. When you respawn, all the weapons you dropped will be back in your inventory and will also still be laying on the ground where you dropped them. Note: You also will not suffer the cash penalty from dying since you reloaded the checkpoint. This glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game. You can delete all patches for the game by using the "Clear hard drive cache" code for the Xbox 360.
Equip an item that can be thrown, then press [Throw Weapon] + [Drop Weapon]. Your character should throw the item, and then quickly drop a copy of the same item. Repeat this as many times as desired.
Look at your feet, hold [Throw Weapon], then hold [Swing] + Y. If done correctly, the item will fall out of your hands, and you will throw another one down at your feet. Note: This can be done with both the analog and digital fighting style.
While playing as Logan, hold [Aim], then hold [Fury] while aiming at multiple zombies, then press RT. Instead of Logan using his knives, he will throw the equipped weapon, causing the game to duplicate your equipped item.
Equip a stackable item, such as cocktails, grenades, medkits, etc. Make sure you are one item under your item capacity 9/10, 13/14, etc. Make sure the item is equipped and in your hand. Then, craft the Deo-Bomb, Cocktail, or Meat Bait. You will now have two stacks of that item instead of one. Repeat this as many times as desired. Just make sure you have enough materials. Note: Make sure to use a recipe that is different from the item you are duplicating, as this glitch sometimes does not work if it is done that way. For example, do not use the Deo-Bomb recipe if you are duplicating the Deo-Bomb. This glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game. You can delete all patches for the game by using the "Clear hard drive cache" code for the Xbox 360.
Quick travel between areas until a merchant sells the necessary materials to craft a Deo-Bomb. Then, go to a crafting table, and craft up to the max of 30 Deo-Bombs. Once you have 30 Deo-Bombs in your inventory, each new bomb crafted will create an additional 30 Deo-Bombs. Repeat this as many times as desired. -From: DJD96
Easy experience
Reach Ope's Cave in Act 3, then use the "Duplicating items" trick to copy your most valuable weapon. Sell the weapons to a vendor to get a lot of money, then buy Oleander from a vendor if it is available. After buying as much Oleander as possible, fast travel back to Ope's Cave, and turn it in to the tribesman that give you the continuous "Dreamtime" event. Each time you turn in five Oleander Blossoms, you will get $1 and 1,000 experience points. Repeat this as many times as desired.
Easy money
Go to the warehouse, and get the Hammer and Baseball Bat. Then, fast travel to the Church, and sell them to get approximately $400. Go back to the Warehouse, and the Hammer and Baseball Bat will have respawned. Repeat this as many times as desired. Note: You must be in the City and have discovered both the Church and the Warehouse to do this trick.
Find an area with a lot of value items (champagne, etc.), such as kitchens and fridges. Collect the items, then leave the area or fast travel to another location and back for the items to respawn. Collect as many items as possible, then sell them for easy money.
In the Slums, there is an abandoned building at the bottom of the map. Once it is cleared out, you can fast travel to it. In the back of the building are two rooms, and each has a fridge that sometimes contains a bottle of champagne. Keep fast traveling to another area, and then fast traveling back as many times as desired to get a lot of champagne for easy money.
Use the "Duplicating items" trick to duplicate as many items as desired. Then, sell the items for easy money.

• Easy Molotov cocktails

After you complete Act 3, enter the hotel, and go down the hallways until you reach the lounge with tables and chairs. There will be approximately 10 bottles of alcohol on the bar that you can pick up. These bottles of alcohol will respawn once you exit the hotel and re-enter the hotel, traveling the same way you went. Collect as many bottles of alcohol as desired, then go to Harland, and trade the bottles of alcohol for Molotov cocktails. You will get one Molotov cocktail for every three bottles of alcohol. Repeat this as many times as desired. A Molotov cocktail can kill most zombies in a single area instantly. -From: Demetri
Easy "Military-Industrial Complex" challenge
While doing the "Bitter Return" mission, there is a mounted machine gun on the balcony of City Hall. Mount the machine gun and fire it. Every bullet fired counts towards the "Military-Industrial Complex" challenge. Keep shooting to easily complete all four levels.

• Killing humans

This trick works best with Logan. To easily kill humans, throw modded weapons. However, there are a few exceptions. The weapon must be sharp. Blunt weapons only damage them slightly. The military machete works best. The weapon must have either a Poison or Shock mod. Fire will not do any damage. Make sure you upgrade the weapon to at least level 3. It is recommended to mod a powerful weapon so it does more damage against stronger humans. Keep your distance when throwing, and have plenty of ammunition. This is one reason why Logan is better for this, as thrown objects can come back to him. However, if you have a clear view of the target, throw the weapon, and they should die instantly.

• Killing large groups of zombies

When you encounter large groups of zombies or a lot of them are chasing you, run to the closest vehicle. Jump on top of it, and crouch on the hood. You can hit the zombies, but they should not be able to attack you. Note: Do not do this on the roof of the vehicle, as you will not be able to hit them, and they can still sometimes hit you. Use the analog style of fighting to get more decapitations and swing your weapon faster.

• Drowning zombies

When zombies are chasing you, simply run into the water, then kick them so they drown to get easy XP instead of trying to melee them.

• Getting kills without dulling your weapon

Killing zombies will dull your weapon. However, when the weapon is close to breaking, it is not completely useless. Throwing your weapons can damage zombies without dulling the weapon. If you have a weapon worth keeping, but it is almost used up, keep throwing it at zombies until you can repair it again.

• Hidden provocative pictures

In Act 2, enter the mayor's office in City Hall before it gets attacked by zombies. Knock down the painting on the very back wall in the room behind the desk to find three photos of a semi-nude blonde woman.

• League Of Legends reference

Shortly after the Lifeguard Tower (Exodus) is completed, there is a person named Annie in a bungalow to the left of the main road who gives a quest. She initiates the quest by saying "Have you seen my bear?" and asks you to retrieve the teddy bear for her. In League Of Legends, there is a champion also named Annie. In that game, Annie's catchphrase is "Have you seen my bear Tibbers?"

• Lost reference

Do the quest to clear out the Lifeguard Tower at the start of the game. Kill the zombies in the garage. Then, go inside to hear a radio broadcast of an Oceanic Flight in an emergency descent to an island due to engine failure.

• Pimp My Ride reference

Do the quest near the end of the Resort level, where you take the big truck to the mechanic to turn it into a homemade tank. While talking to him, just before you have to defend the shop while he does his work, he will say that he is going to "Pimp your ride".

• Easy "10 Heads Are Better Than 1" achievement

Have the assault rifle, which is acquired during the second part of the game. Then, jump on a car, wait until the zombies are next to the car, and simply shoot their heads. Even if you get killed while doing this, your head count does not reset as long as you do not kill a zombie by any other method except a headshot.

• Easy "How Many Days Exactly?" achievement

Easy "Oh, No You Don't" achievement

Note: You can only get the "Oh, No You Don't" achievement with Sam B, and after unlocking his Tackle ability. In Chapter 16: "Locked Up", once you reach the checkpoint where you have to "Find another way to the cell block control room", you must go around to get to the control room. When you open the door to the cell blocks, there is a stairway going down, which is where you will see the Ram. Let him follow you upstairs, and go back in the hallway. Leave the door open. The Ram will try to ram you down, but he will not be able to get past the door. This is where you can weaken him until his life is close to dead. Then, deliver the final hits with the Tackle ability.
