Navigating the apocalypse in Hell-A requires survivors to track down lost keys, hunt specialized infected, and recover valuable weapons caches. One of the most intriguing lost and found side quests in Dead Island 2 is the mission titled My Mailman Was A Zombie. This quest rewards persistent scavengers with a powerful blueprint and legendary weapon variant after following a trail of undelivered mail across Bel-Air.
How to Initiate the Quest
To begin this quest, head toward the delivery truck parked near the central road in Bel-Air. You will find a special mail journal sitting on top of a supply container near the vehicle. Inspecting this document reveals details about Wayne the mailman and his unfinished delivery route.
Reviewing the journal updates your quest tracker with key locations across the neighborhood. Each location corresponds to a specific house that received mail right before the outbreak spread. Taking time to note these coordinates simplifies your search considerably.
Locating the Mailman's Stops
Your search begins by visiting three distinct residential addresses marked on your map. The first stop leads to the entrance of the Goat Pen mansion, where a packages stack remains near the front gate. Interacting with the parcel triggers a brief quest update confirming Wayne's presence.
Next, travel toward the Curtis Sinclair estate drive and inspect the doorstep for the second delivery clue. After gathering the second piece of evidence, head down the hill toward the final house near the sewer access gate. Checking all three locations ensures that the targeted zombie spawn will activate properly.
Defeating Wayne the Mailman Zombie
Once all three delivery stops have been thoroughly checked, return to the final location near the garage complex. You will spot a unique Slobber variant zombie bearing the name tag Wayne the Mailman. This mutant continuously vomits caustic acid, so maintaining safe distance is essential during combat.
Equip ranged weaponry or high-impact shock tools to disable Wayne quickly without standing in toxic pools. Dodging his heavy projectile attacks allows you to land critical strikes when he pauses to re-arm. Once defeated, Wayne drops the Mailman's Keys needed to open the locked crate.
Unlocking the Rewards and Weapon Chest
Collect the keys from Wayne's remains and head back to the original delivery truck where the quest began. Use the newly acquired keys to unlock the secure container located in the bed of the vehicle. Opening the container reveals a high-tier weapon along with valuable crafting materials.
Completing this quest provides a permanent upgrade to your arsenal while giving valuable experience points. The weapon scales to your current player level, making it effective for upcoming story encounters. Following these straightforward steps ensures you complete the objective efficiently without unnecessary backtracking.
