Update – 29.08.2024
*** Added a small storyline that follows 2 brothers in arms and their journey, gained from doing Trader Jens missions and using her tokens. (Not shareable with other players)
Rewards From the New Questline?
A schematic that allows you to create an elixer which gives the player 5 mins of unlimited ammo, Can be great for horde nights and general use, also I’d imagine they’ll be in demand from other players who’ve not completed the quests. (if you run a server feel free to tinker with the recipe of it in recipes.xml to suit your own balance. if you need help doing this reach out.)
This was tested on both navezgane and RWG, it has NOT been tested on servers so if there’s any issues please report them ASAP.
If you had the previous version of this mod installed on a server, do NOT install this one unless it’s a fresh wipe, it may reset players back to level 1 otherwise.
*** Changed – Rebalanced the rewards from all quests, as well as rarity of the “call to arms” quests.
*** currently working on quests for all Traders similar to the above but they take time to write and code, but expect them soon(ish).
Howdy, This is part 2 of my updated mod World Event Quests + Extra, I’ve decided to go a slightly different route this time around so if things are missing from the old mod you enjoyed don’t worry, it might still make it into future updates.
What Does This Mod Include?
This adds quests that are found in loot bags, They will ask you to go to a traders compound and help assist in defending it, We all asked the question “who is keeping these people alive and safe?” well, it’s now you. you’ve taken up the role of defending the Traders in their time of need.
What Do I Get Out of All This?
The traders will be more than happy to reward you and alongside those rewards they’ll give you a token, this token can be used to craft special mods that can help you do lots of things.
The mods you can access are as follows;
Speedy boots – These boots can be gained by helping trader Jen in her endeavours, They will grant you 25% movespeed while installed in any foot wear.
Xp Booster – This item is gained by helping Hugh, it will grant the user 10% bonus XP on all actions/kills and stacks with other XP giving items/buffs, it’s only installed in Chest wear.
Kevlar Plating – This item is gained by helping Joel, it will grant the user +3 armour and can be worn in all armour slots and multiple can be worn if spread out over armour pieces.
Sacred Flame – This item is gained by helping Bob, when attached to a ranged weapon 80% of your bullets will set the target on fire.
Arctic Snap – This is the big item of the mod and is gained from helping ALL the traders at least once, when attached to a gun it will always slow down any enemy to a crawl, giving you much more control over situations, basically turning all enemys into walkers.
What Do I Do with Spare Tokens if I’ve Claimed All the Mods?
You can spend them on a lucky dip item, giving you handy books, foods, ammos and so on.
Is This Server-Side Friendly?
Yes.
Are These Quests Shareable?
Yes, but be careful, as zombies may spawn at x2 the rate for each person in the party.
Can I Use These Quests Even if I’ve Not Discovered All Traders?
Yes, the code will target the POI specifically and will always bring you to that trader, multiple of the same trader on a map will result in the code choosing one of them randomly.
Will This Mod Continue to Be Updated or Is This It?
100% I will be updating this mod going forward, I welcome feedback and recommendations as long as it’s server-side.

I put this on our dedicated server and the players LOVE it! They love it so much we have the quest papers coming out our ears 🙂 Is there any way to make the drop of the quest papers even more rare?
Thanks so much for a great mod!

I activated the quest, walked away from the merchant and the zombies, when the time was up I went to collect the reward)) why did you do it so easily? You must move 30 meters away from the merchant and the task will fail!
Hello, i love this mod. i have finish the brtothers, but, what to do with the “odd key? Its a very genius mod!
Hey, I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it, there’s more to come very soon!
you’ll want to hold the key while looking at the chest you got from searching the zombie you had to kill during the quest, once you’re looking at it right click the chest for a special reward 🙂
Hi, we have no found chest, there was “go to trader”, but no porblem do it again 🙂 An we lokking for the next “update” 🙂
Ok, we have tried it again and it works, thank you. very nice mod. Its a new must have at my server.
I installed this a little bit ago on my hosted server and so far…it’s fine 🙂 Here’s to a fun adventure!
I appreciate it, More to come soon, it’s making the quests make sense that’s a bottleneck for me, if you’ve ever suggestions please feel free.
So, I have a recommendation. Currently, on a multiplayer server I host, if a group of allied peeps go to do the quest together, your mod gives each individual player in that group 7 waves of zombies. That’s frame breaking for some of them with low-end PCs. I have a high-end rig and was stuttering pretty heavily with 8 of us in the group. Everyone also gets and individual reward which is cool, but I wonder if it’s possible to just have a single instance of the 7 waves of zeds instead of individual instances per player attending the quest?
Sadly how the party system currently works it’s not possible to separate the spawns how you describe without not making it Serverside friendly anymore, I can make ones designed for groups specifically though, but even still adding players to a party will always interfere somehow down the questline lol hopefully it’s not a thing anymore when they retouch all that stuff in the near future.
seems to cause a error when i run it in the traders
Hey, I’d love to know what that error was, if you can send it to me I’d really appreciate it so I could take a look and if it’s a true error or a hiccup with something else, You can post a pastebin link here or add me on discord – Mickkpewpew and send it there,
Appreciated.
I liked the content of the story but it was a bit too depressing lol. If possible, I hope to add some zombie adventure stories, but it is best to leave the story open-ended at the end so that I can leave wonderful imagination.
I’m glad you liked it, to be honest I wrote it and thought the same thing, but it’s just the first quest of many to come and I’ll lay off on that type, 1 is probably more than enough for that level of sadness,
“I hope to add some zombie adventure stories”
I love this idea, If I write one along that style i’ll be sure to credit you for the Idea! if you’ve more please let loose.
