Jobs
Side jobs from the notice board and notes: types, limits and rewards.
Jobs are side quests. They pay XP and gear, and they get better as you level up.
Getting jobs
- The notice board. Three new jobs go up every day. Tap the board to see them and press Take.
- Notes. Now and then (about 1 search in 14) you find a note with a job on it.
- You can hold 3 jobs at once. Drop one from the Quests tab by tapping its X twice.
Kinds of job
- Clean up: kill a number of walkers or cops.
- Night shift: kill zombies after dark.
- Scrapper / Kindling: break metal or wooden things.
- Lumberjack / Rock breaker: chop trees or break rocks.
- Supply run: bring materials to the notice board and press Turn in.
- House call: search things in a particular house.
- Nest: clear out a nest of infected that moved into a house.
Jobs tied to a house only count on the map they came from.
