A Team Quest is a special type of quest introduced in Dead Island: Riptide.
General[]
Team Quests are special Quests in which the player has to find some items for the Paradise Survival Camp survivors and heroes. Each survivor/hero has 3 unique Team Quests for the player, except for Marvin who has only 2. Completing these quests improves the NPC's weapon, or for merchants improves the quality, rarity, and selection of items they sell, as well as lowering the price of those items.
Completing Team Quests also increases the "Team Level" of the survivors as a whole. A higher Team Level means survivors are less likely to be overwhelmed or incapacitated during Siege events. This is primarily done by increasing the health of all NPC teammates based on the current Team Level. The health increase ranges from +20% at a Team Level of 5 to +200% at a Team Level of 30 and up.
Unlike normal quests, Team Quests are not given through normal interaction with an NPC. Instead these quests must be activated via the "Team" section of the menu.
Structure[]
Team Quests are universally find-and-retrieve quests, wherein the Hero must find a certain number of a specific item and return it to the NPC. Each survivor or hero will give out three Team Quests total, one after the other. The only exception is Marvin, whose quests start at level II.
The first quest will task the Hero with retrieving a small number (typically 3) of easy to find items, such as Belts or Wires. They will be rewarded with a small amount of XP and usually either a small number of useable items (weapons or consumables) or a low-level weapon modification.
The second quest will task the Hero with retrieving a higher number (4-8) of a harder to find item, such as Stingray Tails or Large Batteries. They will be rewarded with a moderate amount of XP and usually either a moderate number of useable items (weapons or consumables) or a mid-level weapon modification.
The third and final quest will task the Hero with retrieving 3 rare modification items; these items can only be found inside Dead Zones, and are only used for Team Quests. They will be rewarded with a high amount of XP and usually either a high number of useable items (weapons or consumables) or a high- to legendary-level weapon modification.
