Finding all the copies of Science Adventures Quarterly in Outer Worlds 2 can be tricky. This guide will show you where to find all 10 issues and how to begin the collection quest, so you don’t have to search the entire map!

How to Start The Paradise Collection Quest

Where to Start ‘In Pursuit of Purloined Propaganda’ in Outer Worlds 2

You can begin the ‘In Pursuit of Purloined Propaganda’ quest in Outer Worlds 2 by either locating Redactor Quesnel or discovering your initial copy of Science Adventures Quarterly magazine.

  1. Redactor Quesnel is a member of the Protectorate and the quest giver for this mission, and can be found to the west of Fairfield in a shack. Talk to her to start the quest without finding any magazines first.
  2. The first time you find a Science magazine in Outer Worlds 2, you will automatically pick up the In Pursuit Of Purloined Propaganda quest. Open your region map of Paradise to find Redactor’s Quesnel’s location.

Every Science Adventures Quarterly Magazine Location on Paradise

Science Adventures Quarterly Volume 1 Location

  • Location Details: Inside an abandoned house on the west side of the flooded residential section of Westport.
  • Other Notes: Deal with the Raptodons in the area before you try to get this magazine as you will attract a lot of attention if you stroll through the streets. Fast Travel to the Westport travel point, then hug the road leading north, and you’ll see this building first on the left.
