Location: Talk to Dawud, in the Upper Tower
Rewards: 3,500 Survivor Experience
Difficulty: Easy
Dawud gives you this side quest in the Tower, after you’ve come back from “First Assignment.” Accept the quest, find Dawud a gun, and bring it to him in the upper section of the Tower. If you’re really early in the game, you likely don’t have a gun to spare. Go out hunting for one if you want the money for this quest right now. The farther from home you go, the better a chance that you’ll find some decent loot. Search chests and larger vehicles, specifically. They give you a better chance to get what you need. Locked items are usually the ones with your best weaponry, so bring Lockpicks along for the search.
Once you get a firearm you’re willing to spare, return to the Tower and give it to Dawud. He hands you the key to his Pawn Shop but won’t give you your money just yet. He asks for an Action Figure that’s at the store. That’s fine because you were about to head there anyway for your loot.
Go to the Pawn Shop. It’s inside an almost-closed garage door down at street level. Open the place, unlock the door to the back room, and loot everything. There are weapons, supplies, and cash in the building. Get as much as you can, and make sure to grab the Action Figure, as well. A message comes over the radio on your way back to the Tower. Return to Dawud’s room. Talk to Salma there to find out more. This completes the quest, for now. Much later on, you find Dawud in the Sewers (when you’re traveling to Old Town). Talk to him, but do nothing for now.
You get your chance again in Old Town proper. A call comes over the radio that gives you an update regarding Dawud. This puts “Lost in Space” in your quests queue. Search the southwest part of Old Town to trigger this, and then go to the waypoint that appears. Go into the building from an upper-floor entrance, and meet Dawud again. Kill any Infected, and then search the back rooms for a wardrobe that Sammy is hiding in. Open it and talk to him. This ends the quest line.
