What Do Skope Devices Do?

Discover what Skope Devices do in Dead Island 2. Learn how to activate them near the end of the game and find them across Hell-A to unlock more lore entries for the Bookworm achievement.

Alright, so you're probably wondering what these "Skope Devices" are all about in Dead Island 2. Think of them like the game's version of Alexa or Google Home – smart assistants that give you a bit of extra flavor for the story.

You won't actually be able to mess with them until pretty late in the game. Specifically, you'll turn the Skope servers back on during the main quest called The Search for Truth. Once that's done, *bam*, all the Skope devices will light up and be ready for you.

After you've got the servers online, you can head to any location with a Skope device and interact with it. Each one will give you a little snippet of dialogue, filling in some of the backstory about how the zombie outbreak all went down. If you're aiming to complete the game's lore entries, you'll need to track them all down. They're scattered throughout every area, and some, like the one in a trailer at Monarch Studios, you'll have to actively seek out. Don't stress too much about finding every single one though – there's no special achievement or unlockable reward tied directly to finding them all. They're purely for players who want to dive deeper into the game's narrative. However, completing the Skope log *does* count towards the Bookworm achievement, so keep that in mind if you're going for 100% completion!
