Dead Island 2: Full side mission list

When going through Dead Island 2’s campaign either in solo play or multiplayer co-op, you will inevitably come across the game’s many sidequests. In all, Dead Island 2 contains 33 side missions to tackle alongside the game’s 24 main story missions. Naturally, these side missions become available at certain points in the campaign, so you can always tackle one if you need a break from the story. However, you can’t complete every side mission before beating the story, as the game does include a few postgame sidequests to play through. Note that finishing the story allows you to free roam and fast travel across the map, so you may find it easier to do every sidequest right at the end. Whatever you decide to do, here is a complete list of every side mission you can find across each region in Dead Island 2.

Note that this list does not include the Lost and Found quests, an entirely different category of optional quests unlocked by beating both story and side missions. Whereas Dead Island 2 hides Lost and Found quests from the map, the game does not do this for side missions. Because of this, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding all of the side missions once they become available.
