You'll notice Dead Island 2 Skope devices early in your adventure. Especially if you're taking the time to search each area, as there's one in a downstairs room of the first mansion you pass through. Once you notice them you'll start seeing them everywhere but never find any explanation of what they actually do in Dead Island 2. The "server offline" caption appearing against them suggests they might be linked to Dead Island 2 multiplayer, but that isn't the case as they're entirely unrelated. To avoid confusion, here are the details on what this system is and how to get the Skope server online in Dead Island 2.
What is Skope in Dead Island 2?
Skope in Dead Island 2 is basically the equivalent of an Amazon Echo or Google Nest - a smart speaker that your character can talk with to receive useful and interesting information. That's the only function it has, so you don't need to pay it any attention during the earlier stages of your adventure. In fact, the Skope server only comes online in Dead Island 2 when you reach the last few main story quests. However, if you want to know how then there's a full explanation below.

How to get the Skope server online in Dead Island 2
To get the Skope server online in Dead Island 2, you need to start The Search For Truth story mission from the Serling Hotel in Ocean Avenue. This will have you looking for Tisha, and once you track her down she'll have instructions on how to contact Konradt using Skope at the OSK store.
When you get there the Skope server is still offline so you have to turn it back on, but the server room is locked and you need one of the many Dead Island 2 keys to get in there. Check the Staff Notice: GTFO note on the counter by the coffee machines, and you'll learn that Henry was last seen taking out the trash. AS a result you'll find him in the alleyway around the back of the building.
Take Henry out and take his OSK Server Room Keycard, then deal with any other zombies in the alleyway before heading back inside. Enter the server room next to the back door using the keycard, and pull the lever at the far end to restore power before hitting the switch on the rack to get the Skope servers online in Dead Island 2. There are still a few more steps left at this point to complete the quest, but once that's done you can interact with any Skope units you find, and the first time you use each individual device you'll receive a new journal entry to add to your collectibles.
