The 
Beach Offensive main story quest takes place in the Venice Beach map area in Dead Island 2. You’ll soon reach a point where you need to enter the militarized zone in the west of the map, but once there you’ll find that the gate is locked. You need to override the lockdown and search the Command Tent for Officer Hicks’ lockdown code. We’ll show you exactly how to find it on this page.
How to Override the Lockdown on Venice Beach - Dead Island 2 Beach Offensive¶
After interacting with the lever just to the left of the main gate in the militarized zone, you’ll need to override the lockdown… “somehow”. To start, head south and jump over the fence using the storage boxes, then interact with the security keypad just ahead. This will update the quest objective for you to find the correct code that you need to override the lockdown
Where to Find the Lockdown Override Code in the Militarized Zone¶
The initial clues required to find the correct lockdown code come in three parts: a Weekly Report, Duty Roster, and Lockdown Protocol. All three of these items can be found in the command tent located directly opposite the keypad. Search the tent thoroughly to find and read the items, shown in the screenshots below.

Where to Find Officer Hicks’ Lucky Number, Birthday Photo, and Dog Tags¶
Once you have all three of the above items, you’ll discover that the officer on duty should have been Hicks. You now need to find various belongings of his, and eventually his body. Start by entering the tent to the left of the one you just searched, where you’ll find Hicks’ Bag on the bunk at the back left of the tent. Search the bag to learn Hicks’ lucky number, which forms part of the code. Now inspect the photo on top of the storage boxes to the left of his bunk to learn two more numbers in the code.
Finally, you’ll need to locate Hicks himself. You’ve learned from his documents that he’s had a problem with diarrhea, so you might expect to find him in one of the portable toilets outside. Search the one to your left beyond the makeshift wall as you exit the tent, and be ready to fight Hicks who will come bursting out of it. He’s not a tough enemy, so it should be an easy fight for you at this point. After killing him, you can loot his dog tags to learn the last part of the lockdown code, which you can now enter into the nearby security keypad to unlock the gate.
