Dead Island 2 How to Change Daytime

Wondering how to change the daytime in Dead Island 2 between night and day?

First, you must have finished Main Quest 14: The Red Mist. This unlocks fast travel. Now interact with a fast travel map at any area’s headquarters and you will get a screen to change between day and night.

That’s all there is to it. You can only pick DAY or NIGHT. You can’t pick an exact daytime like morning / noon / afternoon. The time of day doesn’t impact the availability of any quests. What zombies spawn in each area is more dependent on story progress rather than daytime. As you advance the story and meet new zombies for the first time, they will start spawning in old areas too. Some uniquely named zombies that drop keys for lockboxes also require story progress before spawning.

Unlike in Dying Light, zombies aren’t more aggressive at night than they are at day. So in general it doesn’t matter if you play at day or night.
