Dying Light Side Missions Guide [PS4 - Xbox One - PC]
Let's see what all the secondary missions of Dying Light are and where they start.
Trophy / Objective Guide "The Whole Story", complete all side missions
Dying Light side missions are marked on the map with the "!" Symbol. Most side missions don't take long to complete, only a few are a bit longer than normal. There are no particularly difficult quests, but you will be rewarded with lots of survival points and several projects for completing them.
Here is a complete list of all side missions: it will show you where missions start reward you will get upon completion and it will help you keep track of the ones you are missing.
Please note: if you are looking to unlock the trophy know that it is completely buggy. If you started the game AFTER installing patch 1.04 then you won't have any problems, but if you were already playing there is a good chance you won't unlock the achievement after completing the last mission. If this happens, all you can do is finish the game and then start a New Game + and complete other side missions, eventually the trophy will unlock after completing some of them.
There are 51 side missions in total, if you have difficulty completing any of them try to do a search on Youtube by entering the name in English as shown in the list.
