You will want to know Dead Island 2 Kelli Jo's Suitcase key location, as it allows you to open the suitcase found in one of the trailers in Monarch Studios for a special reward. 

Dead Island 2 is full of side content for players to engage with, such as side quests, lost and found missions, and special containers. Many of the containers you'll come across in the game are locked and require specific keys that are held by zombies, but getting these zombies to spawn isn't always straightforward. 

So, take a look at our breakdown of how to find Dead Island 2 Kelli Jo's Suitcase key location.

To find the location of Kelli Jo's Suitcase key in Dead Island 2, you will need to return to Monarch Studios after you've encountered the Screamer special infected during the main story. 

You'll likely come across Kelli Jo's Suitcase itself during your first visit to Monarch Studios for the quest 'Michael Anders and the Holy Grail'. It can be found in the bedroom of the trailer between building five and six

However, the zombie who holds Kelli Jo's Suitcase key will not spawn at this point in the game, so you'll need to just continue with the main quest for now.
