Redacted is one of Dead Island 2's fifteen Lost and Found Quests that feature either Lost Weapon or Missing Persons. Redacted is a Dead Island 2 Lost Weapon quest where players go on a paper-trail hunt across Venice Beach's military base, leading to an excellent Legendary Weapon and other valuable collectibles, including Delgado's Supply Case Key.

Dead Island 2's Legendary Weapons are some of the best weapons in the game, and locating them all is one of the best things to do across Hell-A after beating the game. Redacted seems like a tricky puzzle side quest at first, but once players know where to look, it's a quick way to get one of the best weapons in the game.

Redacted becomes available only after players complete all of Dead Island 2's story missions, plus a side quest called Cremains of the Day, located at the northern lifeguard tower on Venice Beach, where players get the tower keycard.

Completing Cremains of the Day triggers a zombie called Lt. Ford to spawn inside one of the tents on the main beach military base as located on the map.

To start Redacted, players must find and kill Lt. Ford, who drops the Redacted paper trail quest to pick up and solve. He's usually hanging around inside the military tent and is a standard zombie to defeat. Collect the Redacted paper document collectible to begin the quest.

There's no map waypoint directing players where to go next, so open up the game's Journals menu under the Lost and Found tab to expand and read the Redacted collectible page message for a clue. The page indicates players must head to shipping container 78 to find the next part of the paper trail. Players must repeat this strategy as they search several containers leading to the final one.
