Where to find valve handles in Dead Island 2

Valve handle locations in Dead Island 2 will largely depend on each pipe, as they are all slightly different, but the same general rule applies. If you see a pipe that says it requires a valve handle or valve wheel, you can usually find it within around 10 to 20 feet of the pipe that needs it. This sometimes required us to climb obstacles or get creative to maneuver them, but the valve handles are always pretty close.

In the early parts of Dead Island 2, players are introduced to this mechanic by turning off the water that’s causing an electric puddle to form over a chest. Using this same method, however, players are able to use acid or water pipes to set traps for any undead that wander into them. It’s a great tool and can help the player deal with large groups of zombies if they can set up something in time.
