Dead Island 2 fast travel is very useful as you open up more of the 10 different zones within Hell-A. It let's you quickly switch to different areas without having to fight your way there on foot. However, it isn't available from the start in Dead Island 2, and you can only move to adjacent zones by passing through the gateways connecting them.

As you explore you'll unlock plenty of Side and Lost & Found Quests that involve moving back and forth between destinations, as well as gathering a stack of Dead Island 2 keys that need reuniting with their locks, often in different areas. So a fast travel system makes all that a whole lot easier for you and if you want to know how to unlock fast travel in Dead Island 2, then all of the information you need is right here.

To unlock fast travel in Dead Island 2 you need to finish The Red Mist quest in the main campaign. That will take you to Venice Beach, where you'll end up meeting the Blue Crab boys and finding a new safe house. At this point you'll receive a notification that Fast Travel Maps are unlocked, and signpost icons will then appear on your map to show locations you can fast travel from. They look like this:

While you can access your map at any point, you can only use Dead Island 2 fast travel by physically interacting with one of the Fast Travel Maps you can find in the world. You can use these to jump between different map locations but you need to find the individual Fast Travel Maps in each area to unlock them first. Although you will be given a few to get started with at first. 

The full list of Dead Island 2 locations you can fast travel from are as follows:

  • Beverly Hills - Roxanne's House
  • Halperin Hotel - Janitor's Office
  • Bel-Air - Emma's Mansion
  • Monarch Studios - Green Screen
  • Hollywood Boulevard - Re-Aging Clinic
  • The Metro - Utility Storage
  • The Pier - Lifeguard HQ
  • Venice Beach - Blue Crab Grill
  • Venice Beach - The Tower
  • Ocean Avenue - Serling Hotel
  • Brentwood Sewer - Maintenance Room
  • Brentwood Sewer - ZFZ Near Patton's

Note that Venice Beach and Brentwood Sewer both have two Fast Travel Maps that can be unlocked, while all other zones only have one each.
