Tips for Tackling Lost and Found Quests
- Sequential Completion: Although quests can be completed in any order, some items or reports won’t spawn until specific story points. Consider finishing main story quests first.
- Patience Pays: Save Lost Weapons quests for post-game for better item accessibility, especially in locked-off map areas.
- Missing Persons HQ: Find the Missing Persons quests on the wall in Ocean Avenue HQ after completing specific main quests.
Rewards and Achievements
Each completed quest brings unique rewards, from legendary weapons to XP boosts. Be sure to complete all Missing Persons quests for the Sole Survivor achievement, and five Lost Weapons quests for the Sharpest Tool in the Box achievement.
Armed with this guide, go out there and conquer the undead-infested streets of Hell-A! Happy hunting, survivors!
