Unlocking rare supply crates across Hell-A is one of the most rewarding activities for players seeking top-tier weaponry in Dead Island 2. Among the early mystery containers encountered in Bel-Air is the Special Delivery lockbox, which requires the Mailman's Key to open. Finding this key involves initiating a specific Lost & Found quest that sends players on a paper trail across luxury mansions.
How to Unlock the My Mailman Was a Zombie Quest
Before you can obtain the Mailman's Key, you must first trigger the Lost & Found mission titled My Mailman Was a Zombie. To start this quest, travel back to Bel-Air after progressing far enough in the main campaign to unlock fast travel. Locate the abandoned delivery van on Alpine Drive near the GOAT Pen entrance and pick up the journal note on the ground.
Reading this document reveals the mail carrier's delivery route across three prominent addresses in Bel-Air. Your primary objective shifts to checking these locations for undelivered packages to locate the missing mailman. Following this paper trail is the only way to spawn the specific target holding the key.
Tracking Down the Mailman's Delivery Route
The paper trail requires players to visit three distinct delivery stops scattered throughout the district. You can inspect the package piles at the GOAT Pen, Colt Swanson's mansion, and near the estate on Glitterati Corner in any sequence you prefer. Upon checking two of these locations, the zombified mail carrier will manifest at the final delivery stop on your list.
Wayne the Mailman transforms into an Apex Slobber zombie, making him a formidable encounter for unprepared slayers. He attacks by vomiting toxic caustic bile across the area while attempting to overwhelm you with melee strikes. Maintaining distance and utilizing elemental weapons that deal shock or bleed damage will help neutralize him quickly.
Claiming the Mailman Key and Opening the Lockbox
Defeating Wayne causes him to drop the coveted Mailman's Key directly onto the pavement alongside other valuable loot. Be sure to clear out any remaining walkers in the immediate area before collecting your prize. Once the key is safely in your inventory, trek back to the original mail truck parked on Alpine Drive.
Interact with the Special Delivery container attached to the side of the delivery truck to unlock your reward. Opening this lockbox grants you substantial experience points along with the Raven, a powerful unique rifle equipped with a scope. This high-precision firearm provides an excellent tactical advantage against tougher undead threats throughout your journey.
Tips for Defeating Wayne the Slobber
Confronting Wayne requires smart positioning due to his devastating caustic projectile attacks. Utilizing curveballs like the Chem Bomb can help extinguish burning hazards or wash away pools of toxic sludge during the fight. Engaging him in open spaces allows you to dodge his ranged attacks more effectively while landing critical melee blows from behind.
