How to unlock the Sharpest Tool in the Box achievement in Dead Island 2 - Definitive Guide

These quests are hidden pretty well, so keep an eye out as you're exploring. If you go into your quests menu, you can see which quests are for this achievement, but I'll list them here and where to start them;

- Jo's Rainy Day Stash: Started in Venice Beach. Go to Jo's Rental and find the note inside.
- [Redacted]: Yes, that is the name of the quest. You get this at The Tower in Venice Beach after you finish the main story. I don't know if this is also a requirement, but you might also need to do the sidequests for Rodriguez to get this quest to show up.
- Fool's Gold: At the Lifeguard HQ in The Pier. You'll need to find a Crusher called Dante to start the quest. I had him spawn at the car where you jump on to get into the HQ itself, but he may wander around the HQ.
- My Mailman was a Zombie!: Started in Bel-Air. As you head to the Goat Pen house, you'll find a Delivery Van on the main road.
- The Clean and Snatch: Beverly Hills, at the pool in Roxanne's House (where the fast travel map is)
- Drunk and Disorderly: At the Serling Hotel bathrooms on the first floor next to the stairs. You'll need to complete the main story for this door to be openable.

I can't find the note at Jo's rentals. Is it behind the locked door?

For anyone that’s completed this and had no unlock.. any solution to unlock it besides playing the whole game through again? I’m wondering if the glitchy journal in the pool for the snatch mission has to do with the problem?

Gotta down vote this as it isn't nearly accurate enough to actually get some of the quests started even if all people are looking for is a list.

- Jo's Rainy Day Stash - As noted in the comments there are two Jo's Rental locations.
- [Redacted] - This is actually started in the barracks (three filled red boxes on the map) at the opposite end of the military zone to the tower.

Can't comment on the others off the top of my head as I already done those.

Jo's Rainy Day Stash can glitch and have Jo not appear when you approach his car like he's meant to, it happened to me and I've seen complaints from other people saying the same. Fortunately the other five quests worked properly and I still got the achievement ok but it was an unnecessary annoyance

Can comfirm you need to do "Cremains of the Day" sidequest from WO Rodriguez first in order to get [Redacted] to start

Cheers, this was one of my last achievements to get and I was looking everywhere for my last quest. Drunk and Disorderly was all I had left.

For anyone else with this quest left. Once you collect it go to Venice Beach and down to Roses Tattoo. Open the shutters and kill Grant who will drop the next journal. From here turn right and run down to the end of the map, past Brain Freeze and in front of Lenny's and Gang Green defeat Cole and pick up the next journal. I had to kill a lot of zombies here including a butcher before he spawned.
Head back to the Blue Crab and fast travel to the Pier.
Head to the pier at the top end of the map and on a table outside Pier Grill will be the next journal. As soon as you turn around, to your left at the next building and beside an ice-cream truck Jordan will spawn in straight away. Kill him and take his car keys.
Head back to Ocean Avenue. Next to the bathroom where you picked up the journal to start the quest are the stairs, go down and into the underground car park, open the boot on the white SUV and quest complete.

Hi everyone, if like me this achievement remained stuck at 80%, I have the solution a solution which will require a little luck to go online, and hope to come across a session with players the weapons quests, not finished and try to finish one with them, and you will unlock your achievement like me, sorry my English sucks, I'm French

Good Luck

Lost & Found Weapon Quests are normally prompted by a found document or some form of paper trail that you’ll need to follow, with clues highlighted in red text in relevant Journal entries. For the most part, you’ll have to complete several steps, like a scavenger hunt, and you’ll be rewarded with a fancy weapon at the end.

There are 6 Lost & Found Weapon Quests in all. For a full Dead Island 2 Lost & Found Weapon Quest walkthrough guide, jump through the link.

Some of these weapons are Legendary, so should also help unlock the Ooh, Shiny! trophy_bronze.png  trophy, which is handy.
