How to find and complete all Ocean Avenue side missions: Helping Hand, Scoop, Not with a Token Alone
In total, there are three additional tasks in this region.
Helping Hand (Ocean Avenue)
- How to start the quest: Talk to Luther in room 02 in the safe area of the Serling Hotel on Ocean Avenue (go through the bar to the far corridor).
Once you talk to Luther and start the quest, move towards Denise at the entrance to the hotel’s safe area. She will tell you what happened to the man’s bag and hand over the key card to the waste disposal site. You will receive a new target. Leave the safe zone and go down to the first floor, to the shopping complex. At the south end, look for stairs leading to a locked door. Now you can open it!
After going through the door, collect the crafting materials on the left before opening the next door on the right. You will find yourself in a basement with garbage containers. There are a couple of voros here, a swarm walker may appear. One gate is locked, so you need to go through the other one in the southwest corner.
Behind the gate you will find a dumpster that can be searched. Find a hole in the wall and smash the blue planks to get into the next room. Pick up the collectible record and search a couple of dumpsters. Go through the next gate. There are zombies hiding behind the van. Go through the adjacent gate to find two trash cans that need to be searched. In this room, there is a hole in the wall on the left. Make your way through it using the stack of pallets. Kill the cutting walker at the red duffel bag, and then pick up the bag itself. It must be returned to Luther. However, inside the bag is some object that attracts the attention of all the zombies.
Open the gate to return to the beginning of the basement. Kill enemies. Go through the door and follow the path past the other zombies until you are outside the hotel. Go right until you reach the main entrance to the Serling Hotel. Surely you will have to lower the bag and kill all the accumulated mutants. Climb to the floor with a safe zone, throw the bag over the rack and climb over. Take the bag to Luther in room 02. Place the bag on the ground at the man’s feet. After returning the bag, talk to Luther to complete the task.

Sensation! (Ocean Avenue)
- How to start the quest: Go past the office of the LA24 news outlet on Ocean Avenue.
After you activate the side quest, go behind the back of the building (southwest side) to find some scaffolding. Use the boxes to climb them, break the window and make your way to the editorial office of the news publication. No matter what floor you are on, all doors will be locked, except for the one leading to the studio. Go through this door to find the LA24 News security pass. Here you will find survivors.
Reach their location and speak with Estha to update the quest. If you entered through the top floor, open the door on the right and go through the other door. Pick up the “LA24 News Crew Plan” note located at the reception, as well as another collectible note from the table in the center of the living room. Climb up the stairs to the top floor. Look for a skill card on one of the tables. Go back to the studio door you just went through. Follow the corridor in the other direction until you find double doors leading to a stairwell. Go down the stairs to the basement, go through the door.
There will be a puddle of electricity ahead. Kill the walker and turn off the power by interacting with the generator in the room on the right. Open the door ahead to get into the server room. Defeat the electric walker. After that, you need to restart three servers. Each one looks the same: a white, wall-mounted screen with a keyboard. Approach and interact with all three to complete the task.
At the back of the server room is a safe that requires a key. Go back, killing the enemies. go back to the previous corridor and find a screamer and firemen. Defeat all the enemies before heading towards the stairs. Climb up to the second floor and follow the objective marker to get to the conference room. Once inside, interact with the sKOpe device on the table to get a collectible record. Pay attention to the revision case (requires a key). Also take the key to the server room safe from the corpse by the window. You will be able to open the safe that I wrote about earlier.
After looking around the conference room, you will update the current tasks. Return to the studio, jump down and kill the butcher. If you thought that was all, here’s some great news for you – immediately after that, two more butchers will appear! After finishing them off, talk to Esta in the small control room. After a short conversation, the task will be completed.
