Bugsnax mail — it never fails!

“If you’ve played Bugsnax before but have yet to enjoy the free BIGSnax DLC, there’s no better time than now to revisit Snaktooth Island and discover its bugsnax; if you haven’t played at all, then this is your sign to pick up this surprisingly deep (and dark) experience.”

— Hey Poor Player’s Bugsnax Review

Bugsnax is a sweet yet sinister creature collection game with adventure and puzzle elements that’ll have you craving more calories than you can count. Take on the role of a “mediocre journalist” who must rebuild a small, struggling society through the power of friendship… and bugsnax, of course! The original release had plenty of quests and sidequests to keep players occupied, but the BIGSnax DLC introduces more content than players can shake a snaktrap at — including an entirely new island, access to a super secret area, and even more bugsnax to catch and catalog.

In addition to all that aforementioned fun stuff, there are also over 100 new side-sidequests to complete. Arriving by post in your brand new house, these 110 mail missions are technically optional, but some are needed to complete for at least one achievement so it’s good to read and respond to your letters every once in awhile. Not sure where to begin? Never fear — we’ve finished every last mail mission and are here to help other mediocre journalists do the same.

Bugsnax Mail Missions Basics

In order to get mail missions, you’ll first need to be able to get mail. To do this, just keep powering through quests until Filbo decides to gift you your own house, complete with a mailbox of your own. He’ll mention that this is perhaps the best way for the residents of Snaxburg to get in contact with you — much like how they used to communicate with Lizbert — and will send requests from time to time instead of waiting to hopefully catch a glimpse of you between bugsnax escapades. Once obtained, these requests can be found within your journal under the house icon, and fulfilling them yields furniture, wallpaper, roofing, lighting, and other decoration items for your house.

There are 110 total mail missions in Bugsnax, and while completing all of them is less of a necessity and more for bragging rights, there is at least one achievement that will require the prizes gifted from them (Live, Laugh, Hut). Some are pretty self-explanatory, others are a bit tricky, and others still are literally invisible; however, all are relatively straightforward after players have become comfortable with gameplay.
