The quest is getting the guns, afaik.
Find stashes in Lesser Zone.
Find stash in Garbage.
Etc.

So the quest is... quite long, since there's a few stashes you can't access without progressing the main story.

It can take a few hours to collect every chest that the quest gives you. Beware though. This quest is nothing about talking and cutscenes etc. It's just that: Collect the contents of x stashes. Nothing more. Whereas in other games you immediatley get access to deluxe items, here you have to find them in the game world via this quest. The Deluxe item contents are spread across the map between x number of chests.

As Nishi and Ampee stated, the extra quest is just a zone-ranging quest to find all the bonus stashes that you paid for, which are called "Journalist" stashes. And these stashes are not all that easy to reach, and some are guarded. Some of the stashes contain "unique weapons", which are some of the standard weapons but already have some attachments or special colors or models.

I got the Deluxe edition, since I wanted the extra quest, but was disappointed that the bonus quest was simply to find all the special stashes.

There are at least two Journalist stashes in the starting zone (Lesser Zone), and the some of the equipment was useful to help get thru the first zone a little easier, if you are playing the base game without mods.

But if you plan to play a modded game, to make your weapons tougher or enemies weaker, then you don't really need the Journalist stashes or spend the extra money on the Deluxe edition.

It will take a while to complete that quest, since the stashes are scattered around the whole Zone.

But Ultimate will give you ''Season Pass, granting 2 additional expansions and any future DLC'', which sounds much better than a single quest.
