Hey Spawnicus, I see you've time stamped these tips, but I don't see the tips that tell us how to use hacks, mods, and console commands to get infinite ammo and gear. I mean, I don't personally know why anyone would need to use those cheat tactics to play this game. Its easy enough without any outside help. But I know you like to exploit those cheat mechanics as I've seen some of your video clips on youtube shorts where you have a seemingly endless supply of molotovs and proximity mines. I just thought you might be sharing that stuff in this video. Perhaps in a different video?
@@markbrowning4334 Your entire comment is bullshit. Poorly thought out and poorly expressed. You are simply showing your lack of knowledge to anyone who's played the game on any setting above easy, which apparently is your favoured game setting.
So I've got 733 hours in Days Gone and I honestly didn't know that you could shoot the platform out from under the snipers or that the predators reacted that way to the smoke bombs. Really appreciate your content, it has made my 700+ hours all the more enjoyable.
I'm doing my 3rd play through and never knew about the smoke bombs for predators and the sniper platforms. When I crave a good zombie fight I go back to Days Gone then Dying light.
Hey there @@Mr_Johnson_487I'm going through some of my older content for inspiration and noticed that I've missed tons of comments that are "replies to replies"... I don't get notifications for those so I've missed literally thousands of comments like this one. Anyways, just saying hi and thanks!
This game pulled me in with the story... 25 hours in and 50% done, taking it slow. Looting and enjoying the gameplay loops they have added. Other than sneaking around the scientists the rest is very much replayable, just can't get enough of it.
Yeah man i usually stop playing open world games after 20 hrs with the monotony, but this game integrates the side content with the main content so well that even 30hrs in and just getting to crater lake i feel excited
This is the best tips video on Days Gone that I have ever seen! I have been playing for about a month now and am loving it. I would have NEVER thought to hunt hordes at night. I have always gone in the day to catch them in their cave so that they are bunched up and basically do the same thing you did, just without cover. Your idea, however, is much better and I will implement it on Iron Butte which is next on the list. I also didn't know about the rock and smoke bomb stuns and I didn't realize you could throw the gas cans to burn the nests. Also had no idea about the sniper platforms, I've just been shooting the sniper themselves. Again, love the video and now I'm super excited to use these tips and get to wrecking some freakers!
Thank you so much!! I can tell you really love playing Days Gone and finding new ways to solve problems in the game. I live stream Days Gone on Wednesdays and moving forward on Friday also. Hope to see you there, until then have fun!
the way you took out the horde... My first approach was exeactly as you described it! I met a horde in the wild, realize I had full molotovs/pipebombs/nades and thouht to myself 'why shouldn't I take them out form the bushes? They can't see me, right?' and so I did. And the next 7 hordes went down the same way
That's awesome! Stealth from the bushes may not be the most "exciting" way to kill hordes but, I prefer to use what works! Especially if I'm giving tips to new players.
Man holy shit this is the most comprehensive Days Gone video I’ve seen yet. I started playing just the other day. Super late to this game. Great to see a video from an actual player.
I am SO GLAD this old video is still helping people! Here is a playlist of my newest videos. They contain my most up to date tips and my most polished content. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/play/PLBJwsJgyTDYvxujjqMnzQ8ZS1DR-JxIa_.html&si=vagGGlihf1WnInAE
@@SpawnicusRex Seeing stealth hoard takeout convinced me to buy as I imagine fumbling roll, run, turn, shoot loop and getting swarmed. This is 3rd tip video and all different and helpful.
A side note on sniper platforms , you can't shoot them down after you have already flat lined the sniper .. oh and on burning out nests , I always use the gas cans to fill my bike tank before using it to burn the nests out ..
Awesome video!! Getting ready to do my third play through of this game and I'm gonna try some of your tips with the smoke bombs! This game really surprised me with it's story! I got totally immersed in it's world and loved the ride that the story took me on! I remember being very nervous to go out at night when I first started! Signed the petition for Days Gone 2 and I really hope it eventually happens after the ending they gave us in the first one!!
Heck Yeah and thank you! You might want to check out The Days Gone Podcast, if you haven't already. Here's a link to EP. 01 open.spotify.com/episode/6mvNhQw5pWGqaZ2fGHm3Le?si=486885f5667c45ca Enjoy!
I wasn't even hoping that there is anything left for me to learn in this game. But I was wrong. This video shows that you have done an awesome in both playing the game carefully so as to collect any trick you came across as well as compiling all of them in a video. Really appreciate your hard work.
Still pumping the Days Gone vids Rex ,you must be this games number one fan for sure,love your videos mate and i hope in the future you cover some other games like Eden Ring when it comes out next year or others ,Great Vids mate and obviously you love this game which is good i must admit .
I did not know about the part where clearing ambush camps reveals the nest location. I thought the reason they got revealed is because I passed by it at some point in the game and did not notice it before 🤦🏻♂️😂 thanks for that
Great video! Learned a lot that I definitely should have already known with how far in I am. Keep up the great work (came from the Days Gone subreddit if that helps).
I just started playing it for the first time and went with the Survival difficulty. It really makes every moment so tense. I love it so far. I really am big on no HUD playthroughs and I love that they have it as an option. I also like that you can toggle the HUD for just a brief moment, because after all it is a game and sometimes you just want to know if you're going the right way without having to pause and look at the map. Love that HUD toggle. Brilliant implementation imo.
Good job on these videos! I experimented with melee weapons a bit and Fireaxe takes too much scrap to repair it is like 1 scrap per swing or 10 swings until brakes. Ripper Blade (steal it from Rippers) is bit lower on damage but is dirt cheap to repair and higher durability so you'll be spending less time under the hood searching for scrap. Another tip that might be useful I found later that gun powder in low stock: Little bear lake Nero has 2 GP, possibly Saw mill Nero and starting camp has one under tower.
Yeah, those are great spots to get gunpowder! I forget which Challenge it is but one of the bonuses from the Challenges makes melee weapons last longer before they break. Take a look at Challenge Mode, you may see some bonuses you want to unlock!
I'm trying to do that 200 kill challenge with a crafted weapon so I'm sticking with the Bat with Nails for now but will be looking for a Ripper Blade soon afterwards.
It gets easier. I beat my first horde by accident 😅 kinda ran into it and just ran with it I liked the game alot before but now I'm hooked. Definitely a good build up from start to even now at like 35% progress
@@AdventureYeti31 I managed to kill my first horde this weekend, but in the most cowardly manner thinkable. It was the one living in train cars next to a NERO station. I climbed a tower by the nearby lake where they gather, and then I just showered them with bombs and molotovs from my place of safety. That did the trick 😄 But soon I will have to gather courage to do it "for real", down on the ground, running like a scared rabbit... Great game though. I'm starting to get really hooked now. The vistas can be quite breathtaking, and the atmosphere is fantastic.
@@matsnilson7727 that was the first one that killed me. Stumbled upon it right at dusk and had the same idea but got yanked off the bike first lol. I steered clear of that spot for awhile after that. The first one I killed was another in Cascade region. Closer to where the game starts I believe. Kinda ran up on it and had the high ground so I just started lobbing molotovs and shooting. When I ran into yours I still only had the .22 rifle and it doesn't do hordes well lol
@@AdventureYeti31 Haha. Yeah, getting too close by accident can be pretty terrifying. I almost drove my bike right into a horde when I entered through the cemetary gates. That left a stain or two in my underwear 😆 Love the stealthier moments though. Like last night when I retrieved the old surgical knife in a small town. Sure, some people probably go in with all guns blasting in every scenario, but I spent an hour hiding in bushes and behind low walls, stealth killing everything that moved. Great fun. Maybe I can locate an easy horde to attack tonight. If I feel brave enough. 😊
Really useful video! Just finished the main story without looking anything up, and now I'm finding all these tips and tricks to help me in my New Game + :)

Just started playing this game, so was glad to find your video, One question for you, when you are lining up the head shots, how are you slowing down the time?
I'm a little late to the game just purchased Days Gone recently and was looking for some pro tips, have to say these are some excellent tips. Really appreciate it!
I always hear Matthew Macconaughey when you speak. Anyway, well done on those tips. Didn't know about the sniper. One thing I noticed is when you're free roaming and want to avoid the rope trap there's usually an 'x' on your minimap close by signifying a dead body. I've seen it more than once. However I'm not sure it's there everytime. Take care out there ;)
I grew up in the same part of Texas as Matthew McConaughey, my hometown is less than an hour from where he grew up lol. You're right about that X on the map, there's usually a corpse near the marauders. Good find!
Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos AND my voice lol. I recently did a face reveal if you'd like to see that and more of my content, follow me on Instagram too @spawnicusrex
This game has been out for awhile but I just bought it used for only $17 at GameStop. Dang, so under-rated. I'm loving it. I wear headphones when playing. The music score is great and when getting into sticky situations you can hear a heart beat. How neat is that? Thanks for your video Spawnicus Rex.

I'm on my 5th playthrough. I started a new game, not plus, at Hard II. After playing the game through on NG+ 3 times I realized how hard the game can really be. But's it's still incredibly fun. Having to deal with freakers when you have shitty weapons, dying because a bear takes you down when you didn't expect it, having to hunt and harvest to raise my camp rating to get better guns. This game is so damn fun. I think this will be my last playthrough though. It's such a great game and I wish there would be a sequel. I don't think that will ever happen but it would be amazing. Keep up the game play guys, it's always amazing. Thanks.
i heard that if you do not destroy the Nest, then the Freaker Hord in that erea can respawn, in this you can eliminate that Hord then go/drive to another erea and then come back to the same erea and the Hord should respwan. This move was told from another Player. If you don't know, you can find two proximity mines in Iron Butte at almost the same place, you go/drive to Iron Butte, then you find the farm and behind the Cattle enclosure at the rocky side and you need to climb up and go where you and Skizzo entered Iron Butte there you find the first proximity mine, the second is on the left side before you climb for the first proximity mine (or your left when you are at the farmers house and looking up at the rocky mountain) and you have to locate where the Historical Maker is there you find the second proximity mine. Have you tried to kill a Reacher with you bootknife? Try it, but let the Reacher grab you so you hang in the air while the Reacher has hold on you, then you fight for your life, then the meter is running, then you push the botton and if you hit the botton at the right moment you get THE BEST KILL ELIMINATION, in this you will see what Deek will do to the Reacher. If you have seen Rambo 5 and what rambo did to the bad guy in the barn, then you will say that is the best kill.
I just found out that there is some good stuff where the sawmill is, you can find them where there’s very little lake first you stand outside the NERO Checkpoint in the old sawmill when you and looking in NERO Checkpoint, then run or drive to the rocky hills, there you can see a very little lake and beside some threes there is a bed and there you can find some good stuff. This lake you can see it in your big map, but you have to zoom in on the rocky side, it’s a very hard to see where the stuff is, when you are at the lake, find the bed where the lake is and you will find the stuff.
The amount of time I have wasted throwing a rock in an opposite direction to distract them to get a stealth kill. I can just throw the rock at them then run up and stealth kill them. What a time saver.
Bro your guides are the best, came across your channel last night with the video to get the machine gun by taking out 4 nests. I wish I found your guides earlier but I'm still in the early days of the game as only got iron Mike's camp the other day. Some great tips though, never even thought of that gas can on nests tip before 👍

@@SpawnicusRex cheers will check them out when I'm done with the game. Early enough in it yet but I'm struggling with those hordes def not as easy as it looked when you played but that's more down to my gameplay sucking 😅 I have taken 2 hordes out but one was stumbled upon my accident as I went down to that shack later in the game and the horde was there 😅 2 more so I think I'll just keep trying. I want that gun 😅
Thank you so much! Glad you found this older video to be helpful. I have a whole library of newer, more polished vids. Here's a link to my Days Gone Art of War: ua-cam.com/play/PLBJwsJgyTDYvxujjqMnzQ8ZS1DR-JxIa_.html&si=mnoy5fNFJsSZKLSW
@@SpawnicusRex Oh wow this is amazing. I'm currently at 868 Days Gone and just starting to feel comfortable fighting hordes. Your videos are VERY helpful. Got a new subscriber now :-) Thank You!
Thanks for the tips, here I was trying to take the hordes out during the daytime. I did it, got them running towards the attracter bomb,then blew up a truck by accident i didnt know i could blow up the truck lol. Then i hsd to keep running around to kill 20 or so because they spotted me, but i was out of ammo. Most crazy game but fun one Ivd played. I think i have ran into them at night to. Going to try this much easier than my panic mode one lol
That was the first horde I killed too! The one at the wrecked train and Nero checkpoint. I eventually just got tired of running from them and turned around to fight them... died about 7 times and eventually figured out that using the truck properly was a big help 😆 If you want to get even better at killing the hordes, have a look at my Horde Killer Master Class video that I released recently. It will teach you everything you need to know to make killing hordes look easy. Happy hunting: ua-cam.com/video/_42DO9BhGUo/v-deo.htmlsi=SF4hgJJrfFzk5Dux
Thank you. These were ALL the questions I was wondering about. AND I could not figure out why I kept getting spotted doing the attractors trick with the hordes! Then I was watching a horde and 3 THREE screamers spawned in RIGHT next to my bush.I tried to take one out when I thought the others were far enough but yeah nope. I did die though 😅
@SpawnicusRex that reminds me of the time I was looking through the binoculars and when I put then down to get on my bike a Frickin Breaker & Bear were running down to greet me 😂 I was like "oh ill get them to fight but no they gangbanged me
Just started the game ( killing my pile of shame) thx for the nice guide . Found u on Reddit. Really cool voice bro, where from the US are you from if it’s allowed to asked:)
Thank you for this, I'm on my second or third playthrough (can't remember which) . I've already had a horde spawn on a mission to find Lisa. Do you have any tips for that? I can't craft anything stronger than a Molotov and I'm getting easily killed.
My advice would be to follow this linked video to unlock one of the best sidearms in the game: the SMP9. It's a high quality sub machine gun that works VERY WELL against those early game hordes. Good luck! ua-cam.com/video/eqyJ1PR47H8/v-deo.html
Hi Spawnicus, I've really been enjoying your channel and the enthusiam for Days Gone. You bring an approach to openworld games like this one that no one else does. Strategy, planning, patience and pulling out everything the game has to offer while delivering an entertaining and engaging tour de france to help others enjoy the world of Days Gone. I have been on the fence for a while deciding whether to jump in and give Days Gone a spin. Your insights and love of the game have gone a long way to tipping the scales. I have just one question. In your long experience of the game just how robust and stable is it now on PC in 2021? Bugs seemed to be a big part of the criticism that lead to a poor reception during release and for some time after. Would love to hear your comments and feelings on this. I live in the Yorkshire Dales in the UK so it is not easy to join your live streams but love catching up all the same. : )
Hi Geoff, thank you SO MUCH! The only really frustrating bug that I've had with the PC version is Remote Bombs, Proximity Mines and Proximity Bombs sometimes do not behave properly. Remote Bombs will sometimes detonate simply because enemies get too close even though they should not ever go off unless you detonate them manually. Sometimes Proximity Mines and Proximity Bombs will detonate too soon, too late or not at all. This makes it difficult to achieve some of the more complex Horde killing strategies that I like to use but overall does not impact my enjoyment of the game itself. This is the only persistent glitch that I've seen on PC so far. All other glitches and bugs have been minor and are usually resolved by loading a previous save game, restarting the game or restarting the PC. If you're on the fence, I say GO FOR IT! It's an absolute blast to play, especially if you like open world games that let you be patient and tactical. Cheers!
@@SpawnicusRex Thanks. Heading off to Steam and rolling up my sleeves for the long haul. Just out of pure curiosity. What got you into streaming and open world gaming? Can’t quite place your accent. What part of the USA are you from? I’m always impressed by your fluid dialogue, you make it sound so easy. That’s a gift. Is there another Days Gone episode today? I know you like your Saturdays.
I'm from Texas in the southern USA. I've enjoyed open world gaming since The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind but Days Gone got me into making videos and live streaming. I wanted to do an Early Game Best Start Guide and decided a series of live streams would be the best medium for that. I've finished my Days Gone live stream series and moved on to other games now. My Saturday night streams are currently The Last of Us 2.
I was just watching this video earlier this morning, kinda watching my older stuff looking for inspiration and I could not believe how long winded I sounded lol. I was kinda cringing a bit! I'm so glad these videos are still helping people though! Thanks for wathcing! My newest videos with the most current tips (and better production value lol) can be found here: DAYS GONE ART OF WAR PLAYLIST ua-cam.com/play/PLBJwsJgyTDYvxujjqMnzQ8ZS1DR-JxIa_.html&si=A8DxYMosAMvUTaqv
Hi! I know this is late but hopefully this will help somebody still: I use the two sticks and pull the left trigger (L2) to aim. Aim with L2 and use the sticks to look around and move.
How many hours pass when you sleep on a bed? I'm trying to force spawn a horde during the dark. I also need the same info so I can accurately count the two days I need to sleep so I can exfil to another location for the next two days so the free items from the secret loot locations will respawn. Thank you.
Hi Jeff, no worries I can answer your question for you. When you sleep it only changes from day to night or, from night to day. Deacon doesn't rest a set number of hours, it only passes enough time to change from night to day, or day to night. Also, it takes a full 48 hours for items to respawn so you'll need to pass 4 whole days before loot will respawn. Hope that helps!
Easily my favourite game of the last couple of years. Unfortunately it started lagging last year on my PC due to a sound bug which I wasn't able to fix despite all attempts.
@@SpawnicusRex I literally bought an RTX 3080 last month just so the game would run smoothly. (I thought the bug was related to the 10 series cards.) I managed to launch the game without sound a couple of times and it worked perfectly. I played the game on PS4 slim just so I could play smoothly but of course that beautiful world in 4K can't be beaten. Regardless I finished the game both on PS4 and PC. Planning to play again despite the lag. Days Gone is an amazing game, you can tell I love the game lol.
Nice, I'm so glad you found my video helpful! Here's a tip that blew my mind: combine the Melee skill called "Bull Rush" with the boot knife. If you use the weapon wheel to manually select the Boot Knife and then charge an enemy with Bull Rush, Deacon will shoulder ram them to the ground and then stomp on their head! This gives you a quick kill, with zero resources used, even on enemies that are aware of you! Enjoy!
Great video. I've played through this game several times and there were things you mentioned that I didn't know about like the sniper standing on a platform that can be taken out. I never took notice to that and just blasted him cause I thought he was standing in the tree itself. Also, I noticed your Chicago Chopper said its clip size was 80. Did you get that upgrade at the Diamond Lake camp?
Glad you found some useful tips! The extended mag for the Chopper is bought at the Wizard Island merchant. I did most of this video on a New Game Plus playthrough so I already had everything unlocked.
@@SpawnicusRex I'll be sure to get it this time when I go there. I didn't know there was an upgrade beyond the one I have now so I never checked. Thanks for the info!
Yep, you sure can. It absolutely is possible to clear most hordes in stages. You can leave and resupply at camp or hidden loot locations, come back and finish the job. Just don't wait too long, most hordes will regenerate back to their full number if you don't go back soon enough. Also the first story mission horde will not let you leave the arena, you must kill them in one go or the mission will fail.
@@SpawnicusRex is the 1st mission horde the one near a Nero center? I died there after cleaning a lot of freaks but a lot more came and got me stuck inside a Nero facility.
Unfortunately no, not that I know of. This video is the most current version of the Hidden Loot Locations guide and show every location that I currently know. The list was made with the help of many fans so as far as I know, this is all of them.
@@SpawnicusRex Thank you, it's being doing my head in for about a week am on my NG+ so am looking forward to get one again as am about to go south. Also thanks for your great wee video. 👍 I love this game, defo in my top 3 games ever, i am totally gobsmacked that Sony aren't intrested in a Days Gone 2.
One of the reason this is such a good game is the gameplay loop. The stealth is top tier and logical. The gun play is versatile. It has a cover system with a shoulder switch mechanic. It had the survival looting in a post apocalyptic environment. The actual crafting is basic but rewarding. You have two play through minimum. One guns blazing and one stealth. Yet zero chance of a sequel. Devil may cry got 5 games. Resident evil got 9? Why not this game?
So true, it really is unfortunate. Every single time Days Gone goes on sale or when it got released on PC, every single time Days Gone gets a little push in sales we get new fans who just want to talk about how much fun they had playing it or even how the game has influenced their own lives. Oh well, I'm still having fun playing the first one! Thanks for watching!
That is tough question to answer. Technically, there is no "best" loadout because your needs will change based on what type of mission you're doing and will vary wildly based on individual playstyle. Most folks like to carry certain weapons for exploring and clearing camps and then change to different weapons while clearing Hordes. Some people like to carry the crossbow all the time and I only use it for burning Nests. Personal preference plays a huge part when picking weapons in Days Gone. My favorite loadout, though it isn't necessarily the best, is the Auto Shotgun for a primary, the SMP9 for a sidearm and the best sniper rifle I can get at that time in the story. If you are looking for an all around "good for all situations" loadout I recommend the Chicago Chopper, BFG and SMP9. With those three and a few throwables you can handle anything the game can throw at you, up to and including the biggest Hordes.
I got credit for killing the O'Leary Mountain horde and I never ran into them. I ran into a horde at the mass grave close to the power plant. What horde was that?
I think the one by the power plant is the Cascade Hwy Horde? Not certain but that feels right. As for the O'leary Mountain horde, two things happen very often there: sometimes a Breaker will spawn nearby and kill them all for you, sometimes the bridge inside their cave will collapse and kill all or most of them.
@@SpawnicusRex interesting, I did run into a breaker on O'Leary Mountain, and I went inside the cave and the bridge had collapsed. Thanks for the replies and the awesome videos!!
This is great stuff. Corny story, but I enjoyed this game. I gotta ask though--I thought the first time you said "from *and* under" when talking about the sniper's platform was a slip of the tongue. Then you said it at least two more times. Why not just say "from under" or "from beneath" them?
I'm just a good ol boy from a small town in Texas. I read a lot so I know a few big words but that's the best I can do 😆 I only learned how to pronounce "melee" correctly a few years ago: ua-cam.com/video/XQGtml834tk/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!!!

So I've got 733 hours in Days Gone and I honestly didn't know that you could shoot the platform out from under the snipers or that the predators reacted that way to the smoke bombs. Really appreciate your content, it has made my 700+ hours all the more enjoyable.

Thank you so much!! I can tell you really love playing Days Gone and finding new ways to solve problems in the game. I live stream Days Gone on Wednesdays and moving forward on Friday also. Hope to see you there, until then have fun!
the way you took out the horde... My first approach was exeactly as you described it! I met a horde in the wild, realize I had full molotovs/pipebombs/nades and thouht to myself 'why shouldn't I take them out form the bushes? They can't see me, right?' and so I did. And the next 7 hordes went down the same way
That's awesome! Stealth from the bushes may not be the most "exciting" way to kill hordes but, I prefer to use what works! Especially if I'm giving tips to new players.
Possibly the best Days Gone guide on the web right now
Thank you! I've got a part 2 planned but it's going to be a while before I get it finished and uploaded.
@@SpawnicusRex Can't wait to see what you've in mind for it 👍
It really is! It should be first on the search! But I was search tips and tricks then switched it to “hints” and this popped up
@@Doompile Interesting! SEO is one sob xD
Man holy shit this is the most comprehensive Days Gone video I’ve seen yet. I started playing just the other day. Super late to this game. Great to see a video from an actual player.
I am SO GLAD this old video is still helping people! Here is a playlist of my newest videos. They contain my most up to date tips and my most polished content. Enjoy!

@@SpawnicusRex Seeing stealth hoard takeout convinced me to buy as I imagine fumbling roll, run, turn, shoot loop and getting swarmed. This is 3rd tip video and all different and helpful.
A side note on sniper platforms , you can't shoot them down after you have already flat lined the sniper .. oh and on burning out nests , I always use the gas cans to fill my bike tank before using it to burn the nests out ..
Definitely good tips! One reason I like to shoot the platform to kill the sniper is that it frustrates me when I can't get their loot lol
I always just chuck a molotov at the nests, it's much easier imo
Awesome video!! Getting ready to do my third play through of this game and I'm gonna try some of your tips with the smoke bombs! This game really surprised me with it's story! I got totally immersed in it's world and loved the ride that the story took me on! I remember being very nervous to go out at night when I first started! Signed the petition for Days Gone 2 and I really hope it eventually happens after the ending they gave us in the first one!!
Heck Yeah and thank you! You might want to check out The Days Gone Podcast, if you haven't already. Here's a link to EP. 01 open.spotify.com/episode/6mvNhQw5pWGqaZ2fGHm3Le?si=486885f5667c45ca
Enjoy!
Been loving this game recently! Massively under rated.
Just my word - and I got it for PC, for mager 25$ - that's a find, when we are talking about a game in this league!!
I think it’s safe to say you have the best understanding of how this game works as well as map layout, moreso than anyone I’ve seen on UA-cam.
Thank you! I love Days Gone and for a while, it was the only game I was playing lol
I wasn't even hoping that there is anything left for me to learn in this game. But I was wrong. This video shows that you have done an awesome in both playing the game carefully so as to collect any trick you came across as well as compiling all of them in a video. Really appreciate your hard work.
I am so glad my video taught you something you didn't know yet. Thank you for watching!
@@SpawnicusRex Wow bro just amazing. Still replying to comments after 2 years. You have my respect bro.
Still pumping the Days Gone vids Rex ,you must be this games number one fan for sure,love your videos mate and i hope in the future you cover some other games like Eden Ring when it comes out next year or others ,Great Vids mate and obviously you love this game which is good i must admit .
Oh yeah, definitely branching out to other games 👍
I did not know about the part where clearing ambush camps reveals the nest location. I thought the reason they got revealed is because I passed by it at some point in the game and did not notice it before 🤦🏻♂️😂 thanks for that
Awesome! Glad you found one of the tips useful!
Great video! Learned a lot that I definitely should have already known with how far in I am. Keep up the great work (came from the Days Gone subreddit if that helps).
Awesome! Glad you found my channel and found some useful tips too!
I just started playing it for the first time and went with the Survival difficulty. It really makes every moment so tense. I love it so far. I really am big on no HUD playthroughs and I love that they have it as an option. I also like that you can toggle the HUD for just a brief moment, because after all it is a game and sometimes you just want to know if you're going the right way without having to pause and look at the map. Love that HUD toggle. Brilliant implementation imo.
Agreed! I like an informative Heads Up Display myself so I love that you can choose to toggle it briefly even while playing on the highest difficulty.
Good job on these videos! I experimented with melee weapons a bit and Fireaxe takes too much scrap to repair it is like 1 scrap per swing or 10 swings until brakes. Ripper Blade (steal it from Rippers) is bit lower on damage but is dirt cheap to repair and higher durability so you'll be spending less time under the hood searching for scrap. Another tip that might be useful I found later that gun powder in low stock: Little bear lake Nero has 2 GP, possibly Saw mill Nero and starting camp has one under tower.
Yeah, those are great spots to get gunpowder! I forget which Challenge it is but one of the bonuses from the Challenges makes melee weapons last longer before they break. Take a look at Challenge Mode, you may see some bonuses you want to unlock!
I'm trying to do that 200 kill challenge with a crafted weapon so I'm sticking with the Bat with Nails for now but will be looking for a Ripper Blade soon afterwards.
A useful tip is to search police cars for ammo.
Very helpful video! I'm not that far into the game, and I haven't fought a single horde yet. They still scare the crap out of me :)
It gets easier. I beat my first horde by accident 😅 kinda ran into it and just ran with it
I liked the game alot before but now I'm hooked. Definitely a good build up from start to even now at like 35% progress
@@AdventureYeti31 I managed to kill my first horde this weekend, but in the most cowardly manner thinkable. It was the one living in train cars next to a NERO station. I climbed a tower by the nearby lake where they gather, and then I just showered them with bombs and molotovs from my place of safety. That did the trick 😄
But soon I will have to gather courage to do it "for real", down on the ground, running like a scared rabbit...
Great game though. I'm starting to get really hooked now. The vistas can be quite breathtaking, and the atmosphere is fantastic.
@@matsnilson7727 that was the first one that killed me. Stumbled upon it right at dusk and had the same idea but got yanked off the bike first lol. I steered clear of that spot for awhile after that. The first one I killed was another in Cascade region. Closer to where the game starts I believe. Kinda ran up on it and had the high ground so I just started lobbing molotovs and shooting.
When I ran into yours I still only had the .22 rifle and it doesn't do hordes well lol
@@AdventureYeti31 Haha. Yeah, getting too close by accident can be pretty terrifying. I almost drove my bike right into a horde when I entered through the cemetary gates. That left a stain or two in my underwear 😆
Love the stealthier moments though. Like last night when I retrieved the old surgical knife in a small town. Sure, some people probably go in with all guns blasting in every scenario, but I spent an hour hiding in bushes and behind low walls, stealth killing everything that moved. Great fun.
Maybe I can locate an easy horde to attack tonight. If I feel brave enough. 😊

Just started playing this game, so was glad to find your video,
One question for you, when you are lining up the head shots, how are you slowing down the time?
There is a Ranged tree skill called "Focus Shot". Get that skill and put a few Nero injectors in the Focus attribute. 👍
" best way to conserve kerosine, is to not use any at all "
mind
blown
pretty good guide
I know right, it seems so simple when you say it like that lol. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like the tips!
I'm a little late to the game just purchased Days Gone recently and was looking for some pro tips, have to say these are some excellent tips. Really appreciate it!
Outstanding! Welcome to the club lol, glad my videos helped you out!
I always hear Matthew Macconaughey when you speak. Anyway, well done on those tips. Didn't know about the sniper. One thing I noticed is when you're free roaming and want to avoid the rope trap there's usually an 'x' on your minimap close by signifying a dead body. I've seen it more than once. However I'm not sure it's there everytime. Take care out there ;)
I grew up in the same part of Texas as Matthew McConaughey, my hometown is less than an hour from where he grew up lol. You're right about that X on the map, there's usually a corpse near the marauders. Good find!
the game got a lot easier. thanks rex.
The best tips video I've seen yet -- thank you so much for putting this out here! I just started playing the game a couple weeks ago. Cheers. 🙏

This game has been out for awhile but I just bought it used for only $17 at GameStop. Dang, so under-rated. I'm loving it. I wear headphones when playing. The music score is great and when getting into sticky situations you can hear a heart beat. How neat is that? Thanks for your video Spawnicus Rex.

Had this game on my ps4 for a long time. Just booted it up. I should have never slept on this game. Its fun as hell. Ty for the vid.

I love the idea of killing horse from stealth because that’s what I’m struggling with now. Awesome info!
Yeah man, smart and tactical! That's the way to do it. Love that Pantera shirt in your profile pic!
Thanks a lot. Some of these tip I didn’t know about, and I’ve played the game 3 times already.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
I'm on my 5th playthrough. I started a new game, not plus, at Hard II. After playing the game through on NG+ 3 times I realized how hard the game can really be. But's it's still incredibly fun. Having to deal with freakers when you have shitty weapons, dying because a bear takes you down when you didn't expect it, having to hunt and harvest to raise my camp rating to get better guns. This game is so damn fun. I think this will be my last playthrough though. It's such a great game and I wish there would be a sequel. I don't think that will ever happen but it would be amazing. Keep up the game play guys, it's always amazing. Thanks.
i heard that if you do not destroy the Nest, then the Freaker Hord in that erea can respawn, in this you can eliminate that Hord then go/drive to another erea and then come back to the same erea and the Hord should respwan. This move was told from another Player.
If you don't know, you can find two proximity mines in Iron Butte at almost the same place, you go/drive to Iron Butte, then you find the farm and behind the Cattle enclosure at the rocky side and you need to climb up and go where you and Skizzo entered Iron Butte there you find the first proximity mine, the second is on the left side before you climb for the first proximity mine (or your left when you are at the farmers house and looking up at the rocky mountain) and you have to locate where the Historical Maker is there you find the second proximity mine.
Have you tried to kill a Reacher with you bootknife? Try it, but let the Reacher grab you so you hang in the air while the Reacher has hold on you, then you fight for your life, then the meter is running, then you push the botton and if you hit the botton at the right moment you get THE BEST KILL ELIMINATION, in this you will see what Deek will do to the Reacher. If you have seen Rambo 5 and what rambo did to the bad guy in the barn, then you will say that is the best kill.
I just found out that there is some good stuff where the sawmill is, you can find them where there’s very little lake first you stand outside the NERO Checkpoint in the old sawmill when you and looking in NERO Checkpoint, then run or drive to the rocky hills, there you can see a very little lake and beside some threes there is a bed and there you can find some good stuff. This lake you can see it in your big map, but you have to zoom in on the rocky side, it’s a very hard to see where the stuff is, when you are at the lake, find the bed where the lake is and you will find the stuff.
The amount of time I have wasted throwing a rock in an opposite direction to distract them to get a stealth kill. I can just throw the rock at them then run up and stealth kill them. What a time saver.
YES! This tip helped so much when I first started playing! Thanks for watching
Just bought the game, sublime video. Have watched several and yours clearly hold's it own!
Awesome! Glad the tips have helped you!
not using the last item in a stack to maintain stealth is a great tip. didn't know this was happening.
Thank you! Yes, little things like that can be frustrating when you don't realize it happens until its too late lol
Bro your guides are the best, came across your channel last night with the video to get the machine gun by taking out 4 nests. I wish I found your guides earlier but I'm still in the early days of the game as only got iron Mike's camp the other day.

@@SpawnicusRex cheers will check them out when I'm done with the game. Early enough in it yet but I'm struggling with those hordes def not as easy as it looked when you played but that's more down to my gameplay sucking 😅
I have taken 2 hordes out but one was stumbled upon my accident as I went down to that shack later in the game and the horde was there 😅
2 more so I think I'll just keep trying. I want that gun 😅
A lot of hate on this game but I like it. Wish there was more stuff like different outfits, more weapons, more camps
A lot of content got cut so they could make their release deadlines but yes, definitely a hidden gem of a game!

@@SpawnicusRex Oh wow this is amazing. I'm currently at 868 Days Gone and just starting to feel comfortable fighting hordes. Your videos are VERY helpful. Got a new subscriber now :-) Thank You!
Thanks for the tips, here I was trying to take the hordes out during the daytime. I did it, got them running towards the attracter bomb,then blew up a truck by accident i didnt know i could blow up the truck lol. Then i hsd to keep running around to kill 20 or so because they spotted me, but i was out of ammo. Most crazy game but fun one Ivd played. I think i have ran into them at night to. Going to try this much easier than my panic mode one lol
That was the first horde I killed too! The one at the wrecked train and Nero checkpoint. I eventually just got tired of running from them and turned around to fight them... died about 7 times and eventually figured out that using the truck properly was a big help 😆 If you want to get even better at killing the hordes, have a look at my Horde Killer Master Class video that I released recently. It will teach you everything you need to know to make killing hordes look easy. Happy hunting: ua-cam.com/video/_42DO9BhGUo/v-deo.htmlsi=SF4hgJJrfFzk5Dux
Great tips. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best games i have ever played..i played it like 4 times..
Been playing this game for a few years, regularly, and never knew you could shoot the sniper platforms.
Yeah! That's the only way to do it! I'm always frustrated when they get stuck up there and I don't even get my loot lol
Thanks for the great video my dude!
You bet, I'm glad you found my video helpful. Thanks for watching!
21:50 made me think of guilty conscience with Dre & Eminem. Great list!
HA HA HA HA! Thanks for watching!
On PC, setting the audio to CD quality in your speakers advance setting helps in eliminating micro stutters. I don't know why, but it works.
Thank you. These were ALL the questions I was wondering about. AND I could not figure out why I kept getting spotted doing the attractors trick with the hordes! Then I was watching a horde and 3 THREE screamers
spawned in RIGHT next to my bush.I tried to take one out when I thought the others were far enough but yeah nope. I did die though 😅
Lol, it is both funny and frustrating when that stuff happens! I'm glad the video helped you!
@SpawnicusRex that reminds me of the time I was looking through the binoculars and when I put then down to get on my bike a Frickin Breaker & Bear were running down to greet me 😂 I was like "oh ill get them to fight but no they gangbanged me
I love this game, I've been playing it since it came out, the only game I've played more than 2 times
I can't get enough of it either. It's one of the few games that I finished and immediately started a new playthrough
Just started the game ( killing my pile of shame) thx for the nice guide . Found u on Reddit. Really cool voice bro, where from the US are you from if it’s allowed to asked:)
Hi there, I am originally from Texas. Thank you for watching, I'm glad you liked the video!
Thank you. New guru!
Hi there, welcome in! I love Days Gone and still play it all the time lol. Thanks for watching
Excellent video, thank you!!
Sad this game didn't get more attention. On my second play through and I just ran across the hidden weed farm. That was a surprise.
Very helpfull. Thank you 👍👍☺☺
Thank you, I really enjoyed making that video! I love sharing all those little tips that I found for Days Gone.
This is a really usefull video, thank you! Im close to 30hours in on Days Gone PC version and it is an amazing game! thank you.
Thank you! I love Days Gone and had a lot of fun making these videos. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this, I'm on my second or third playthrough (can't remember which) . I've already had a horde spawn on a mission to find Lisa. Do you have any tips for that? I can't craft anything stronger than a Molotov and I'm getting easily killed.
My advice would be to follow this linked video to unlock one of the best sidearms in the game: the SMP9. It's a high quality sub machine gun that works VERY WELL against those early game hordes. Good luck! ua-cam.com/video/eqyJ1PR47H8/v-deo.html
Hi Spawnicus, I've really been enjoying your channel and the enthusiam for Days Gone. You bring an approach to openworld games like this one that no one else does. Strategy, planning, patience and pulling out everything the game has to offer while delivering an entertaining and engaging tour de france to help others enjoy the world of Days Gone. I have been on the fence for a while deciding whether to jump in and give Days Gone a spin. Your insights and love of the game have gone a long way to tipping the scales. I have just one question. In your long experience of the game just how robust and stable is it now on PC in 2021? Bugs seemed to be a big part of the criticism that lead to a poor reception during release and for some time after. Would love to hear your comments and feelings on this. I live in the Yorkshire Dales in the UK so it is not easy to join your live streams but love catching up all the same. : )
Hi Geoff, thank you SO MUCH! The only really frustrating bug that I've had with the PC version is Remote Bombs, Proximity Mines and Proximity Bombs sometimes do not behave properly. Remote Bombs will sometimes detonate simply because enemies get too close even though they should not ever go off unless you detonate them manually. Sometimes Proximity Mines and Proximity Bombs will detonate too soon, too late or not at all. This makes it difficult to achieve some of the more complex Horde killing strategies that I like to use but overall does not impact my enjoyment of the game itself. This is the only persistent glitch that I've seen on PC so far. All other glitches and bugs have been minor and are usually resolved by loading a previous save game, restarting the game or restarting the PC. If you're on the fence, I say GO FOR IT! It's an absolute blast to play, especially if you like open world games that let you be patient and tactical. Cheers!
@@SpawnicusRex Thanks. Heading off to Steam and rolling up my sleeves for the long haul. Just out of pure curiosity. What got you into streaming and open world gaming? Can’t quite place your accent. What part of the USA are you from? I’m always impressed by your fluid dialogue, you make it sound so easy. That’s a gift. Is there another Days Gone episode today? I know you like your Saturdays.
I'm from Texas in the southern USA. I've enjoyed open world gaming since The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind but Days Gone got me into making videos and live streaming. I wanted to do an Early Game Best Start Guide and decided a series of live streams would be the best medium for that. I've finished my Days Gone live stream series and moved on to other games now. My Saturday night streams are currently The Last of Us 2.
Thank you so much for this video

Sweet nice thank you!!!!
How did you backup camera like a run pls just tell me rex
Hi! I know this is late but hopefully this will help somebody still: I use the two sticks and pull the left trigger (L2) to aim. Aim with L2 and use the sticks to look around and move.
DAYS GONE IS SUCH AN AMAZING UNDERRATED GAME.
I'M FREAKIN LOVIN IT!
4 years after I found it, I am still playing it lol
How many hours pass when you sleep on a bed? I'm trying to force spawn a horde during the dark. I also need the same info so I can accurately count the two days I need to sleep so I can exfil to another location for the next two days so the free items from the secret loot locations will respawn. Thank you.
Hi Jeff, no worries I can answer your question for you. When you sleep it only changes from day to night or, from night to day. Deacon doesn't rest a set number of hours, it only passes enough time to change from night to day, or day to night. Also, it takes a full 48 hours for items to respawn so you'll need to pass 4 whole days before loot will respawn. Hope that helps!
Those are some great tips. Thanks
You bet, thank you!
Easily my favourite game of the last couple of years. Unfortunately it started lagging last year on my PC due to a sound bug which I wasn't able to fix despite all attempts.
Aww crap man! I've seen that post on the Days Gone subreddit, I wish I knew a way to help with that one!
@@SpawnicusRex I literally bought an RTX 3080 last month just so the game would run smoothly. (I thought the bug was related to the 10 series cards.) I managed to launch the game without sound a couple of times and it worked perfectly.
I played the game on PS4 slim just so I could play smoothly but of course that beautiful world in 4K can't be beaten. Regardless I finished the game both on PS4 and PC. Planning to play again despite the lag. Days Gone is an amazing game, you can tell I love the game lol.
Use the freakers against Rippers, they just stand there and get eaten. Use the flashlight/headlight to stagger freakers.
The rock/ boot knife combo and smoke bomb on wolves tips were very helpful and I’m 89 hours in 😅
Nice, I'm so glad you found my video helpful! Here's a tip that blew my mind: combine the Melee skill called "Bull Rush" with the boot knife. If you use the weapon wheel to manually select the Boot Knife and then charge an enemy with Bull Rush, Deacon will shoulder ram them to the ground and then stomp on their head! This gives you a quick kill, with zero resources used, even on enemies that are aware of you! Enjoy!
only place showing the rock stun trick is here.... Thumbs up
My personal favourite weapons, the mws, the liberator, and the rpd
That is a fun loadout. Not the "best" weapons but they're all FUN to use!
Great Game, and Great video....
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the tips helpful!
Great video. I've played through this game several times and there were things you mentioned that I didn't know about like the sniper standing on a platform that can be taken out. I never took notice to that and just blasted him cause I thought he was standing in the tree itself. Also, I noticed your Chicago Chopper said its clip size was 80. Did you get that upgrade at the Diamond Lake camp?
Glad you found some useful tips! The extended mag for the Chopper is bought at the Wizard Island merchant. I did most of this video on a New Game Plus playthrough so I already had everything unlocked.
@@SpawnicusRex I'll be sure to get it this time when I go there. I didn't know there was an upgrade beyond the one I have now so I never checked. Thanks for the info!
No problem!
Awesome content.
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
Brilliant video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
can you kill a horde in multiple rounds? like kill a bunch now, return later to kill more, etc?
Yep, you sure can. It absolutely is possible to clear most hordes in stages. You can leave and resupply at camp or hidden loot locations, come back and finish the job. Just don't wait too long, most hordes will regenerate back to their full number if you don't go back soon enough. Also the first story mission horde will not let you leave the arena, you must kill them in one go or the mission will fail.
@@SpawnicusRex is the 1st mission horde the one near a Nero center? I died there after cleaning a lot of freaks but a lot more came and got me stuck inside a Nero facility.
Thank you so much!
Any more super loot locations in crater lake?
Unfortunately no, not that I know of. This video is the most current version of the Hidden Loot Locations guide and show every location that I currently know. The list was made with the help of many fans so as far as I know, this is all of them.
Can you craft the Superior Metal Axe later in the game ?
If not what stage of the game can you get this melee weapon ?
Unfortunately, they cannot be crafted but, in the last third is the game guy can find them all over the place:

@@SpawnicusRex Thank you, it's being doing my head in for about a week am on my NG+ so am looking forward to get one again as am about to go south.
Also thanks for your great wee video. 👍
I love this game, defo in my top 3 games ever, i am totally gobsmacked that Sony aren't intrested in a Days Gone 2.
great tips, thanks so much....
Thank you! I'm glad this helped you!
brilliant guide
Thank you, I'm glad you found my video helpful!
One of the reason this is such a good game is the gameplay loop. The stealth is top tier and logical. The gun play is versatile. It has a cover system with a shoulder switch mechanic. It had the survival looting in a post apocalyptic environment. The actual crafting is basic but rewarding. You have two play through minimum. One guns blazing and one stealth. Yet zero chance of a sequel. Devil may cry got 5 games. Resident evil got 9? Why not this game?
So true, it really is unfortunate. Every single time Days Gone goes on sale or when it got released on PC, every single time Days Gone gets a little push in sales we get new fans who just want to talk about how much fun they had playing it or even how the game has influenced their own lives. Oh well, I'm still having fun playing the first one! Thanks for watching!
What would you say is the best weapon loadout?
That is tough question to answer. Technically, there is no "best" loadout because your needs will change based on what type of mission you're doing and will vary wildly based on individual playstyle. Most folks like to carry certain weapons for exploring and clearing camps and then change to different weapons while clearing Hordes. Some people like to carry the crossbow all the time and I only use it for burning Nests. Personal preference plays a huge part when picking weapons in Days Gone. My favorite loadout, though it isn't necessarily the best, is the Auto Shotgun for a primary, the SMP9 for a sidearm and the best sniper rifle I can get at that time in the story. If you are looking for an all around "good for all situations" loadout I recommend the Chicago Chopper, BFG and SMP9. With those three and a few throwables you can handle anything the game can throw at you, up to and including the biggest Hordes.
I got credit for killing the O'Leary Mountain horde and I never ran into them. I ran into a horde at the mass grave close to the power plant. What horde was that?
I think the one by the power plant is the Cascade Hwy Horde? Not certain but that feels right. As for the O'leary Mountain horde, two things happen very often there: sometimes a Breaker will spawn nearby and kill them all for you, sometimes the bridge inside their cave will collapse and kill all or most of them.
@@SpawnicusRex interesting, I did run into a breaker on O'Leary Mountain, and I went inside the cave and the bridge had collapsed. Thanks for the replies and the awesome videos!!
This is great stuff. Corny story, but I enjoyed this game. I gotta ask though--I thought the first time you said "from *and* under" when talking about the sniper's platform was a slip of the tongue. Then you said it at least two more times. Why not just say "from under" or "from beneath" them?
I'm just a good ol boy from a small town in Texas. I read a lot so I know a few big words but that's the best I can do 😆 I only learned how to pronounce "melee" correctly a few years ago: ua-cam.com/video/XQGtml834tk/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!!!

Yes! PS4 is good, PS5 is better... PC is king!
