Quests
The trader jobs of game version 3.3, the tiers each one comes at and what it pays, from the game's own files. Tiers run from I to VI; finishing enough jobs for a trader unlocks the next one.
Getting started
White River Citizen: Journey to Settlement
Good Job Survivor,
You have proved to be capable with much potential. We have marked your map with the nearest White River Outpost location. There you will find a Trader where you can buy and sell goods, and trade stories with one of our friendly citizens.
Welcome Aboard,
Noah
- Travel to the nearest trader in the Pine Forest.
- Talk to the trader to turn the quest in.
500 XP
Reward:
Stone Shovel × 1
Given when you redeem the Basics of Survival challenges.
First job: Find the Buried Supplies
Let's start you off with something a little easier. Go dig up the supplies nearby that one of my associates left for me. Don't forget you're going to need a shovel!
- Travel to the marked spot, 100 to 500 m from the trader in the Pine Forest.
- Activate the rally marker to start the quest.
- Stay within 25 m of the site until it is done. Dig up the buried chest (the search circle starts 3 blocks wide and shrinks as you dig). Take the supplies from the chest.
- Return to the trader. Talk to the trader to turn the quest in.
500 XP
Pick one of 5 offered:
Pipe Pistol Bundle × 1
Pipe Shotgun Bundle × 1
Pipe Rifle Bundle × 1
Pipe Machine Gun Bundle × 1
Pipe Baton Bundle × 1
The first job every trader offers, once. Tier I also has Buried Supplies, Fetch and Clear jobs.
Trader quest types
| Quest | Tiers | XP | Dukes | What you do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fetch | I II III | 2,500–5,000 | 100–300 | Head to the marked location and retrieve the shipment. Be careful we don't know what's in there. |
| Clear | I II III IV V | 3,000–15,000 | 400–2,000 | Head to the marked location and clear out the zombies. This location could be useful to our cause. |
| Infestation | · II III IV V VI | 5,625–30,000 | 1,000–6,000 | We located a highly infested zombie nest nearby. The location is critical to the survival of our colony. Go clear out the zombies at the marked location. Remember, there's more of them, they're moving faster and they're harder to kill. Good Luck! |
| Restore Power | · II III IV · · | 5,060–8,400 | 800–2,000 | Head to the marked location and turn back on the generators. While you are there, clear out all the zombies you find inside. |
| Fetch / Clear | · II III IV V | 5,060–16,900 | 700–2,000 | Head to the marked location. Kill all the zombies and retrieve the shipment. |
| Buried Supplies | I II III · · · | 2,500 | 250–1,000 | Head to the marked location and dig up the buried supplies. The marked location may not be entirely accurate. Once you find it, retrieve the supplies and keep the rest. |
Bold tiers are handed out by traders; struck-through ones exist in the game files but are in no trader's list. XP and dukes run from the lowest to the highest offered tier. Every trader (Rekt, Jen, Bob, Hugh, Joel) offers the same list.
Opening Trade Routes

Treasure maps
Taylor's Treasure Map
Dear Survivor,
If you're reading this note, then the worst has probably happened, and the odds are I'm dead. But, rather than let all my stashes of supplies go to waste, I'd like you to have one of them. I've marked the location on this map for you.
Good Luck,
Taylor
How they work
Treasure maps come from loot. Reading one starts a quest that marks a dig site 500 to 1250 m away inside a search circle 9 blocks wide that shrinks as you dig. Blowing the ground open with explosives near the stash sets off a zombie horde.

Reward loot groups
A loot reward that names several groups picks one of them at random, then rolls one item from it at the quest's loot stage. The chance of each item per roll comes from 4,000 rolls of the game's loot tables; the count is the usual stack size.
