Dusty Trip Weekly Quests Schedule

Dusty Trip’s weekly quests reset every Friday at 12:00 AM UTC (midnight UTC), and each week brings a fresh set of three objectives that reward you with Dust, the game’s main currency. You can check the current quests and your progress from the main menu or the quests tab in-game, and the schedule is consistent across all platforms. Below is everything you need to know about how the weekly cycle works, what to expect, and how to plan your runs.

Formula

The calculator above works out your average pace and speed for a Dusty Trip run, which is useful when planning how long a quest will take. The formulas are:

• Average pace = finish time (minutes) ÷ distance (km) — result in minutes per kilometer
• Average speed = distance (km) ÷ (finish time ÷ 60) — result in kilometers per hour

Where finish time is the total time from start to finish in minutes, and distance is the length of the run in kilometers. The pace tells you how many minutes each kilometer takes, and the speed tells you how many kilometers you cover in one hour. Both are useful for estimating how long a specific quest will take based on your usual pace.

Worked Example

Using the default values from the calculator: a finish time of 50 minutes and a distance of 10 km.

1. Average pace = 50 min ÷ 10 km = 5.00 min/km
2. Average speed = 10 km ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.00 km/h

So with those inputs, you’d be running at an average pace of 5 minutes per kilometer and a speed of 12 km/h. The calculator rounds to two decimal places, matching the example.

How the Weekly Quest Cycle Works

Dusty Trip’s weekly quests are a rotating set of three objectives that you can complete any time during the week. They are not tied to a specific story chapter or difficulty — they apply to any run you do, whether it’s a quick solo trip or a long multiplayer expedition. The quests typically involve reaching a certain distance, collecting a specific number of items, or surviving a set number of days. Once you complete all three, you earn the weekly reward, which is usually a chunk of Dust plus sometimes a cosmetic item.

The reset happens automatically at the same time every Friday, so you don’t need to do anything to activate it. If you have unfinished quests when the reset hits, they are replaced by the new set, and any progress on the old ones is lost. It’s worth finishing them before Thursday night if you’re close.

How to View Your Current Quests

To see what’s active this week, open the main menu and look for the “Quests� tab. It shows all three objectives, their descriptions, and your current progress (for example, “3/5 items collected�). You can also view quest progress in-game by pressing the quests hotkey (default is J on PC, but check your settings). The quest screen updates in real time, so you don’t need to restart the game to see progress.

If you’re playing on a console or mobile, the quests menu is in the pause screen rather than the main menu. The layout is slightly different but the information is the same.

Common Quest Types and How to Complete Them

While the exact quests change weekly, they fall into a few recurring categories. Knowing these helps you plan your runs efficiently.

• Distance quests — “Travel 20 kmâ€� or “Reach the gas station.â€� These are straightforward: just drive or walk the required distance. Long-distance quests are easier on a highway route with a vehicle.
• Collection quests — “Collect 5 batteriesâ€� or “Find 3 gas cans.â€� These require you to search buildings, cars, and other loot spawns. Batteries and gas cans are common in residential areas and gas stations.
• Survival quests — “Survive 3 daysâ€� or “Stay alive for 2 in-game nights.â€� These are about time, not distance. Camp near a water source and keep your hunger and thirst topped up.
• Interaction quests — “Use a campfire 3 timesâ€� or “Craft a bandage.â€� These are quick and can be done at the start of any run with basic materials.

For collection quests, it helps to remember that loot spawns are randomized each run, but certain areas have higher chances for specific items. Gas stations and auto shops are the best places to look for gas cans, while medical buildings and houses have more bandages and medicine.

Planning Your Runs Around the Schedule

Because the reset is on Friday, many players use the weekend to knock out the weekly quests. If you only have limited time, prioritize the quests that give the most Dust or that you can combine in a single run. For example, if you have a distance quest and a collection quest, plan a route that passes through a loot-rich area so you can do both at once.

Another tip: if you’re playing with friends, you can split up to collect items faster, but note that quest progress is per-player, not shared. Each person needs to collect their own items or reach the distance themselves. However, you can help each other by pointing out loot locations or guarding each other from zombies.

What Happens If You Miss a Week

If you don’t complete all three quests before Friday’s reset, you simply lose the unfinished progress and the new set appears. There’s no penalty for missing a week, and you don’t lose any Dust you already earned. The only downside is that you miss out on that week’s reward, which is usually a decent chunk of Dust. If you’re saving for a specific item, missing a week can slow you down, but it’s not a major setback.

There’s no way to “bank� quests or carry them over to the next week. The schedule is fixed, so the only thing you can do is complete them before the reset. If you’re close to finishing and the reset is in a few hours, it’s worth making one last run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time exactly do the weekly quests reset?

The reset happens every Friday at 12:00 AM UTC (midnight UTC). That’s Thursday evening in the Americas (for example, 8 PM EDT or 5 PM PDT) and Friday morning in Europe and Asia (8 AM BST, 9 AM CEST, etc.). You can check your local time conversion if you’re unsure.

Can I complete weekly quests in any game mode?

Yes, weekly quests can be completed in any mode, including solo, multiplayer, and even custom games if you have them enabled. The only exception is if a quest specifically says “in a public match� — that’s rare, but if it does, you’ll need to play on a public server.

Do weekly quests give the same reward every week?

No, the reward amount can vary. Typically it’s between 200 and 500 Dust, but sometimes there’s a bonus cosmetic item like a hat or a skin. The reward is shown on the quests screen before you complete the quests, so you can decide if it’s worth the effort.

If I complete a quest and then the game crashes, do I lose progress?

Quest progress is saved as soon as you complete an objective, so a crash after that won’t reset it. However, if you crash mid-run before completing an objective, you’ll lose that run’s progress and have to start over. It’s a good idea to save and quit if you’re close to finishing a long quest.

Can I see next week’s quests before the reset?

No, the game doesn’t show next week’s quests in advance. The new set appears only after the Friday reset. Some community members datamine the game files to find future quests, but that’s not official and might not always be accurate.

Are weekly quests the same for all players?

Yes, the weekly quests are the same for everyone. The objectives and rewards are identical across all platforms and regions. This means you can look up guides or ask friends for tips on the current week’s quests, and the information will apply to you.
