In the quest “In Pursuit of Purloined Propaganda” in The Outer Worlds 2, you’ll need to locate Redactor Quesnel’s missing volumes of Science Adventures Quarterly comics. These comics are spread out across Paradise Island, and since they are hidden in areas not essential to your main missions, it’s easy to overlook some of them if you’re not actively exploring every part of the island. Collecting all of them is worthwhile because Redactor Quesnel rewards you with useful items, including a bonus perk that enhances your companions’ abilities. Here’s where to find each one.
As shown on the map, all ten volumes are scattered around Paradise Island. Redactor Quesnel herself can be found west of Fairfield, close to the Ministry of Accuracy. You’ll likely run into her while heading toward the ministry during your quests with Kaur or Milverstreet. These quests also make it easier to access the northern part of the island, where volumes 4, 7, and 10 are located. You can gather the volumes in any order and turn them in to gain various rewards:
- Returning just one volume grants a perk called Serial Dabbler (+5% Companion ability charge rate), plus some Bits and XP.
- Handing in four more volumes unlocks Serial Enthusiast (-10%) and an extra damage card for Josephus Fielder, along with Bits and XP.
- For five volumes, you get Serial Fanatic (-15%), Townie clothing, and more XP.
If you’re close to finishing the Paradise Island questline but haven’t found all the comics yet, don’t worry. Finding them doesn’t impact your progress on this quest, so you can always come back later if needed.
Here’s where each volume is located:
Volume 1: Inside a small house on a hill west of Westport. Fast travel to Westport, head to the flooded area, and find the comic on the bed inside the house.
Volume 2: On a porch of a house south of Westport. Use the Vox Relay fast travel station, go east into the Protectorate base, descend the cliff via lift, and find it on a small table outside.
Volume 3: On a table outside a fishing shack at the southern end of the map. Use the Fairfield fast travel point, approach the shack, and look for the comic next to the bed near the janitor mech.
Volume 4: Inside a small fishing shack northeast of the landing pad, southeast of Fairfield. Use the Fairfield fast travel point, head to the shack, and grab the comic on the bed.
Volume 5: Inside a small building in the Protectorate settlement northwest of Fairfield and near the Ministry of Accuracy. It’s on a table in the center of the settlement.
Volume 6: On a table outside a fishing shack on the northwest coast, north of the Ministry of Accuracy. Reach it by following the path uphill from the Spire Grove fast travel point, either using Engineering 1 or a Brawny trait to open the door.
Volume 7: In a white house on a hill in the Protectorate farm area on the north island, west of the Vox Relay. It’s inside the house, which can be accessed through the back door after opening it with Engineering or by tearing it open with traits.
Volume 8: Inside a small tower (crabbing tower) southwest of the Sovereign’s Sweet Spire Grove fast travel point, in a small room at the top. If you have the Outer Worlds 2 skills, you can pick a lock and access a safe with additional items.
Volume 9: In a tiny building atop a hill south of the Sovereign’s Sweet Spire Grove, near a dirt path. Reach it by following the trail from the fast travel point, or enter through the back door after busting it open, bearing in mind it’s an area with wildlife.
Volume 10: On a small table beyond a fishing shack in the northern part of the island, north of the farm area. Reach it by following the coastline path or via the northeastern trail, then look for the comic on a table inside the shack.
Don’t forget, there are many other quests available on Paradise Island, including the Schemes of the Secret Smugglers at the Fairfield greenhouse and the Drones of Doom bounty, offering even more adventures.
Enjoy exploring and uncovering all the hidden comics—you’ll be rewarded not just with lore but also in-game perks that help strengthen your team.
