The horrific streets of Hell-A in Dead Island 2 have 15 different Lost & Found quests that players can try to complete since all these missions grant powerful weapons and even some rare achievements. Divided into 6 Lost Weapons and 9 Missing Persons missions, players might struggle to activate these goals at first. Only by picking up key items scattered across the map can players at least start the Lost Weapons quests.
Special items are especially hard when areas of the map are locked off, so players might want to finish the main story quests before trying to tackle every Lost & Found objective. While many missions might show up naturally while navigating, Lost Weapons quests are better saved for when players actually beat the game. Thankfully, the 9 Missing Persons quests are obtained from the HQ’s wall in Ocean Avenue.

How To Complete Every Lost Weapon Quest
Out of the 6 Lost Weapons quests, players will have to travel to six different spots in Hell-A. Many of the journals or clues for these goals can only be activated if players have reached a certain point in the main story or finished certain side quests. There are multiple objectives that players need to address for every weapon, which typically consist of collecting some items and defeating a powerful zombie.
