  • Open the inventory and select the weapon we wish to duplicate.
  • Drop the weapon from the inventory menu and ask the friend to pick up that weapon.
  • Once we drop the weapon, we have to stay on the inventory screen without turning back to the main screen.
  • Now, while being in the inventory menu, we need to turn off Dead Island 2 and start it back up again. On PC, we can simply press Alt+F4 to shut it down.
  • Once Dead Island 2 restarts, go back to the friend’s lobby and see if we still have the weapon in our inventory.
  •  Now, we have our original weapon back in the inventory, while our friend will be carrying a copy of it.

Important: Do not turn off Dead Island 2 from the main menu, instead force shut it directly for the glitch to occur.

Once we have made the clone of the weapon, we can save our game and continue the process if we want. In this way, we can make as many copies of any weapon as we like.

One thing to keep in mind is that we can not duplicate any type of consumable or parts. With this weapon duplication glitch, we can make tons of money by selling a copy of the weapon while still keeping the original one in our inventory.

Final Verdict

Although the glitch seems to work almost every time still in-game glitches are unpredictable and may not occur sometimes. It is also better to play Dead Island 2 as it was intended. If you still want to try the glitch out once just for the sake of fun, you can test it out by the given method and see if that works out for you.
