How to get the Screwdriver in Alan Wake 2

Much like your toolbox at home, the screwdriver is an essential tool for the eponymous star of Alan Wake 2.  It allows players to unlock doors and access different areas of the game.

However, unlike your screwdriver (which I’m sure you know exactly where it is), Alan must journey a bit to find his. Here’s how to get the Screwdriver in Alan Wake 2.

How to get the Screwdriver in Alan Wake 2

To obtain the Screwdriver, you must reach the chapter Return 3: Local Girl in Alan Wake 2. In this chapter, you’ll find yourself at the infamous Coffee World theme park, where the Screwdriver is located. Specifically, your objective is to gain access to the Coffee World gift shop, which is locked. 

To find the Screwdriver, head to the Percolator ride in the Coffee World theme park. Use your in-game map or follow the signs within the park to locate the Percolator. Once inside, be ready to face two enemies— one in the central cup and another on the outer ring of the ride.

You need to eliminate both enemies first before you can search the area without any disturbance. Once you’ve done that, proceed to the right side of the outer area. You’ll find the Screwdriver on the fuse box of the Percolator ride.

How to use the Screwdriver

The Screwdriver plays a vital role in various sections of the game. Its primary function is to unlock barriers and access previously inaccessible areas. The initial and most crucial use of the Screwdriver is to break the padlock on the Coffee World gift shop door. Furthermore, in the town of Watery, you’ll come across a trailer that requires the Screwdriver to open. Inside the trailer, you’ll find a nursery rhyme that unlocks a special charm.

While the Coffee World gift shop and the town of Watery trailer are significant instances where the Screwdriver is required, it won’t be the only time you utilize this versatile tool in the game.
