Here's our Dying Light 2 The Deserter quest walkthrough, because if you make certain choices, you can leave the quest with a treasure map and a new quest. Some quests and paths can be completely missed in Dying Light 2 depending on your choices, but some choices lead to better outcomes than others. The Deserter quest can lead you to a cerebral quest called Treasure Hunt, but you need to make the right decisions. So, here's our Dying Light 2 The Deserter Quest Walkthrough.

The Deserter is a side quest, so it's missable and can be locked off once you cross a threshold later on. To begin the quest, just go to the Peacekeeper ship on Quarry Wharf and speak to Meyer. She'll tell you about a soldier called Bart who deserted, and task you with finding them, along with giving you some leads and people to speak too. 

Talk to the characters around the ship who know about Bart, and you will be told to speak to a man named Stach at the Fish Eye Canteen. He'll tell you that Bart used to hang around near the fields on the rooftops, and direct you toward the fieldworkers to ask about him. One of them tells you to find Bart's best friend Andy at a nearby apartment, and once you get inside you will find a clue and get ambushed by a bounty hunter. 

Fight the man off, and you will radio Stach to ask about the clue - which contains the name Steve on it - and he says he will radio you back once Steve shows up at the Fish Eye. Wait until you get the call, and you can go speak to Steve, who will tell you that he was escorting Bart across the city until they got split up. He tells you where he last left him, and from there you can follow a trail leading to Bart.

Once you find Bart, you will discover he is with his partner and their child, and eventually try to persuade you to fake his death. If you decide to help them, Bart will give you a coded map he stole and his dog tags, so you can go back to Meyer. Some more bounty hunters will attack after, but you once you've fought them - it's back to the ship.

Once you are back on the ship, talk to Meyer and she will ask what happened. Lying by saying "that Bart is dead," will result in you giving her the dog tags and claiming Bart tried to kill you, resulting in you killing him in self-defence.

Next, she will ask about the decoded map that Bart stole. You can lie again with the option,"keep map", and say that he ditched it so that no one could find it. The quest then finishes, and you can begin the Treasure Hunt quest to try and decode the map. 

That's our Dying Light 2 The Deserter quest walkthrough, and now you know which choices you should make to end up with the treasure map.
