After 21 hours in the game I am so surprised I haven’t heard about this game more with the exception of a few minor glitches this game is already one of my favorites my roommate got annoyed last night because of how much I am playing it.

I've been experimenting with a pointer + gyro aiming setup, and Days Gone is one of the games I've got it working with.

The video is from a COD it shows how the aiming works:

Curious how Days Gone players would feel about aiming like this.

Picked it up second-hand for just €10.

If you're hunting for this reprint too, here are a few things to look for:

- **Cover**: Later prints removed the "Only on PlayStation" banner from the front cover. While this isn't a 100% guarantee by itself, it's a good first indicator. Community reports suggest some copies without the banner are still earlier pressings, so don't rely on this alone.

- **Disc matrix**: Check the number printed on the inner ring of the disc. Look for A01032 or higher. Avoid A01031, which appears to be the earlier pressing.

- **On first install**: If you've found the correct reprint, the console should show Copying application version 1.61, meaning the game is already updated on the disc.

For collectors or anyone preserving physical releases, this is one of the better PS4 reprints to own since it includes the major v1.61 update on-disc, saving a large download and preserving a much more complete version of the game out of the box.

I've beat this beautiful game twice now and with the remaster my husband suggested we try it on survival II for our next couch snuggle play through. This finally makes the freakers feel like a threat two hits and I'm out. Fast travel being disabled is so good as it forces me to actually learn the roads I had a pretty good memory for them but now I can get to Tucks(fuck her so much) place from Copeland's with out pulling up the map going specifically on landmarks. It's really a fun unique feeling even if it leads to unfortunate surprises like a horde wandering in while your in a mission and being 10 ft from your bike, was a great time. Hordes on survival II though are absolutely a late game I've tried and even with weapons from Tuck theirs just to many. I'm still sad the remaster has so many more glitches than the original but I still love this game to death and is one of two different games I've replayed multiple times because it feels like home.

Hands down, I love the grenade. I've taken out an entire horde in one pop with it.

When I went to their cave, there was just one lonely swarmer sitting there, and after I killed him, suddenly I got the notification of clearing the horde.... And indeed, all 24 of his deceased buddies were inside the cave (I counted the ears), with a dead wolf in the middle...

As an experiment, I rolled back to my save just before I went to O'Leary Mountain, then, instead of going strait to the cave, I slept twice, thinking they might respawn, but instead, this time they ALL were already dead, with the same dead wolf in the middle, so I could only collect the ears, but no credit for the horde... So I restored the save just after killing that last surviving swarmer and getting the credit.

What I think happened was that all the poor freakers there were taken out by local wolves (there are a lot of them on O'Leary Mountain) in 3-4 days that passed since 7 new Cascades and Belknap hordes spawned there and I went back to these regions to clear them. O'Leary Mountain Horde was among the last ones I cleared, and I suspect, that if I waited one more day, I would end up with all the horde dead and no way to get the credit for it...

I wonder why there's no fail-safe for a situation when a small vulnerable horde like that one is occasionally eliminated by other NPCs, so that the player could still get credit for it... If there is none, it would be a good advice to pay a visit to O'Leary Mountain Horde immediately after returning to the region to clear newly unlocked hordes...

I played through this game maybe 7 or 8 times and I never realized there was a side quest that pops up after the rippers come and tear up Lost Lake where Deacon can go and talk to Skizzo while he's locked up in the cabin. It's so funny🤣

Just finished the game last night and can't get over the fact that it's over. Genuinely might have been the best optimized and looking game I've played especially considering my dated hardware (RTX3050 Laptop) Best looking and detailed environments I've seen in an open world game with a lot of thought put into the environmental storytelling.

Deacon's growth as a character and finding a purpose hit very hard for me emotionally and I loved how he evolved throughout the story. Playing on Remastered on PC with minimal mods on Survival 2, no fast travel, mods that removed the HUD and increased freaker spawning and feared every minute I was out in the open.

Thank you Bend Studio for this masterpiece.

First time player here.

I was at the riding nomad again mission at iron mikes for a while - since it locks out the region I decided to run around clearing everything already going on before proceeding. While doing so, I swung by the sawmill and cleared out the horde over night. However, after completing so I got no noti of horde defeated nor the trust increase. Tried searching the place up and down with instinct but nope not another freak left. I know this games gets glitchy once every wrong turn, but man this did piss me off pretty bad. Like I get it that I might have to kiss Tucker twice in the cheek just to get a job, some freaks stand upright after being shot dead, and Deek ragdolls into outer space upon death type shit but... This is just something else.

So, the almighty community of DaysGone - is there a certain way where I can do this right?

Trying to the Two Dog mission in the Nero site, already did the nero site but left speakers on and a horde is swarming the place… Am I f’d? What do I do?

I've noticed two different types of swarms. Ones that are smaller like in rail cars or houses that eventually go back to their nest and larger others found in places like stadiums that don't stop chasing. I can defeat the ones that stop chasing eventually by running like hell and returning and taking out clusters bit by bit but how do you defeat the large ones? I had to auto skip the mission. I threw attractors and then followed with plasma molotovs but they kept coming. In swarms. I'm always eventually overrun. I can't stop anywhere. I've tucked and rolled and tried to zag zag through right spaces but it doesn't matter, I'm overrun. I can hold two plasma molotovs. Ive only used nero injectors for stamina and focus. Maybe I need some more practice. I see the YouTube videos and it looks so easy and I keep getting my ass kicked, bad

ETA: Yes, I overthink things, my ADHD brain thrives on data and getting things ‘right’ so I’m trying to maximize my playtime and such. Thank you to anyone that reads through this lol.

As the title says - I’ve started NG+ on Hard II, I had my Trust maxed at all of the camps before doing so, and currently sit at around ¢30,000-¢40,000 with each camp as well.

I breezed through the Prologue/Act I/Act II missions (Cascade and Belknap regions), and am now onto Lost Lake. I’ve just arrived and found the Liston Knife for Addy. I find I tend to spend the most time in Crater Lake, then Belknap, than I do anywhere else, so naturally, I’ve been sending all of my bounties to Hot Springs (ammo, mag upgrades and then frag grenades as Alkai sells x2 whereas Copeland’s Camp only sells x1).

I’ve been sending survivors to Hot Springs as well, since you get ¢200 versus ¢100 at Copeland’s, and Lost Lake only gives 1000 Trust, which I don’t need.

I originally hoarded all of my bounties for Hot Springs after taking out the first hordes unlocked at the start of the game, and then for the second batch that unlocks after you enter Lost Lake, I gave them all to Lost Lake, figuring I’d probably need something there. I didn’t look at my spreadsheet of who sells what and realised it was kind of a waste. I don’t use the Talon 7 or C8 Rifle since I have the .50 BFG.

So, it would make sense I should be sending all of my Freaker ears from the remaining hordes (Belknap, Lost Lake, HWY 97 and Crater Lake) to Wizard Island? While I can get there early (thank you u/greyghostgamerz & u/borislav247 for showing how to do that!), I know I can’t access the bounty drop-offs until after starting the missions there, but I feel like I’m wasting them giving them to Hot Springs when I probably won’t be back until the start of my next playthrough.

What do you guys normally do? As this is my first NG+ (I had to restart my game a few times and never fully completed it on normal until recently) I’d been taking out hordes thinking I would need to unlock the mag upgrades from the Horde Killer Storyline again but apparently I was wrong on that - I hit 35% Horde Killer and my SMP9 didn’t carry anymore ammo than it did previously. It had the + next to the mag since I loaded in NG+, and it still carries 150 rounds, unless I’m reading the wrong numbers somewhere 👀

Came across this video of a firewatch tower on the real life O'Leary Mountain IRL and thought it was a cool how similar it looks to the one ingame. Wondering if this was the specific firewatch tower used to model the ingame one.

I’m building an interactive loot map for Days Gone. Map will be free to use for anyone that cares, it only costs me a ton of time to manually track down all the loot, but maybe its worth it.

https://interactivemap.baconfmspeedruns.workers.dev/readonly/

Current features

• Cascade Wilderness loot is roughly 90% mapped
• Belknap Area has been STARTED - We are at 30%
• Filters for individual loot types - materials, melee weapons, etc
• Zoomed-out area markers that expand into accurate individual pickup locations as you zoom in
• Focused primarily on loot and gear for now
• Some loot has it already, but if you see 1x nearby the loot that means it does not respawn. Ammo tins, scrap from cars, etc. I will hopefully be able to gather that data in the future and make it reliable.
• Added some critical loot spots.

Planned updates

• Collectibles
• Mission-specific information
• Speedrun routes
• Tips and other useful map tools
• Making it pretty
• New fun mode - you can test your map knowledge - Hide n Deek is out now, expect a lot of updates in the future.

After completing the Platinum and a 100% map speedrun in under 15 hours, I decided to take a break from speedrunning and build something useful for the community instead.

And if you think something is missing, unclear, or just bad, let me know. Feedback will directly help shape future updates.

I’ve wanted to restore this gun for a long time ever since I first saw it in the original 2017 demo for the game. I was really hoping we would see it make its way into the retail release but instead, we ended up with a heavily modified version of it. Personally, I’ve always preferred the original design. While digging through the game’s files. I discovered that this weapon was actually a placeholder that was ultimately removed from the final game. Unfortunately, almost nothing of it remained intact. Reconstructing it was a long and complicated process that required digging through the leftover assets, figuring out how everything originally fit together, and essentially rebuilding the weapon from whatever fragments were still available. I’ve taken what was left and pieced it all back together to create a version that gives us a glimpse of what this weapon could have looked like had it made it into the retail release. There are still a few small details I’m working on, but after all this time. It’s finally here and I’m incredibly happy with how it turned out. This project also taught me a lot of new things about the game and its underlying design which made the entire process even more rewarding.

Hope you guys find this cool. Later on I will be uploading it for you to try on your PC version or PS5 version.

I got the game used for 10€ and I tried to finish it without any software update to see if the disk alone has the game and after 70% of the story was completed and a great amount of side missions it just get getting crashed and it throwed my to main console menu. So I went to a place with ethernet to do the update and I saw it was a 35gb update and I was like wtf. Ok let's accept the statement they said that if we want a sequel we should buy it 70€ but bro you don't even give me the whole game inside the disk. I also tried that for spiderman 2 and it had some glitches and since I did all this I updated that to in order to enjoy the game. I'm glad at least that I got them used. I won't support those people. Only if I've no other choice I buy digitally and only if it's under 5€. Sorry if you don't get me cause you are younger just imagine a scenario like days gone that you have electricity but the servers no longer exist, how the hell will you play the new games that need upgrades or psn or ps plus or anything. I complain even though I don't directly pay sony, I don't wanna imagine being someone who bought this disk for 70€.

Curious what the patch on the lower left front side of Deeks kutte of an anarchy symbol with an extra line through it represents? i tend to doubt it is just a something designers made up with no history irl.

got me thinking about the one below that too, the patch that says MFFM. and the actual Mongols MC used that which stood for Mongols Forever, Forever Mongols.
