Lost & Found quests in Dead Island 2 are specialized side quests that required our Survivors to follow clues and deduce the next location before picking up another clue and subsequently the final destination.
There are 15 quests under the Lost & Found banner. These are split between missing persons and missing weapons. The missing persons’ quest board is where the player picks up requests to look for missing loved ones. The missing weapons are more elusive as they can appear in any random location on the map.
This guide will cover all of the Lost & Found quests. When you click on a name, you’ll be directed to a detailed guide for that Lost & Found quest.
