Quests (Dying Light)

Quests are a gameplay element featured in Dying Light and Dying Light: The Following. They are missions commonly given by certain survivors within the open-world. Quests are divided into two categories: Story quests are served for the game's storyline, while side quests are served for game's universe outside of the storyline.

Story Quests[]

Story Quests are a linear set of missions that tell the storyline of the player character, Kyle Crane. These quests help move along the main storyline and take place in three main locations; The Slums, Old Town and a shorter part on the Antenna map.

Side Quests[]

Side quests are missions that are not necessary in order to move along with the story, but serve as enjoyable and a good way to gain experience, blueprints, and items. These quests also have an entire chapter being devoted to, with many stories and challenges and instead focuses on the game's outer-world of survivors. Chances are that many players will be doing side quests despite it taking many hours to complete all of them. Unlike story quests, the player is able to pursue several side quests simultaneously.
