Paperwork is a hard difficulty side-quest given to the Hero by Patrick at Nick's Hub in Dead Island. This quest is only available after completing the main story quest Lady in Trouble.
Synopsis[]
The Hero must travel to the Police Station and find Bill, who they sent there to download radio frequencies.
Walkthrough[]
- Talk to Patrick to start the quest.
- He needs you to find his friend Bill who went to Police Station to find some radio frequencies. Bill hasn't reported back, so the hero needs to find out what happened.
- Head over to the Police Station.
- As the Police Station is now cleared of punks, you can go in through the garage door, rather than going in via the Sewers again.
- There's more zombies now, as there's no punks to keep them away, so the Police Station is now inhabited by the undead.
- In the parking garage there's a Thug, some Walkers and at least one Infected. Kill them all and go up the stairs, killing the few zombies you find.
- Make your way to the cells and, as before, kill the Walkers by the door and then eliminate the Thug in the control room.
- Go into the cells to find Bill dead in an end cell. The cell he's in can be easily found as there's a dead body with a revolver in front of it.
- Use the radio next to Bill to radio to Patrick the bad news.
- He's upset about Bill, but asks you to finish the mission.
- You can now follow the same path you used when here to complete Lady in Trouble. Go past the armoury, into the reception room and kill the group of Walkers that's there. Then proceed up the stairs to the long corridor. There's Infected on the way and down the corridor, so kill them first, then clear out the Walkers. Follow the corridor down to the final office room where the chief's office is. There's a bunch of Walkers and Infected here, as well as a Thug in the office itself.
- Once you're near the office, a door will open near where you entered the office from and a couple of Infected will come for you. Don't get caught out by this. Be ready for them and kill them quickly.
- Once everything is dead, use the computer in the office to download the information, then make your way back to the garage. Once there, get back out to Moresby and return to Patrick.
- Talk to Patrick to hand over the information and finish the quest.
Notes[]
- The option to download the data may be present before you accept the quest, although it won't count towards the quest.
- It's best to complete this quest while also completing Matter of Justice.
- Bill may act alive, with breathing, despite supposedly being dead.
- There's a metal chest out the front of the Police Station that you can loot.
- You can still loot the armoury in the Police Station, which usually gives at least one firearm.
- You can explore more of the Police Station while completing this quest compared to Lady in Trouble.
Glitches[]
- If the player returns to the Police Stations after Lady in Trouble, but prior to doing this mission, the player can still interact with the chief's computer. Doing so will only toggle the computer to switch between the booting screen and the BSoD.
- Upon reaching Bill, the game may glitch where the radio is only accessible if you crouch and move around till the interact icon appears.
- You might not have to talk with Nick after the quest due to some glitch. Yet Patrick will pay you.
