World Days Gone very picturesque, but external attractiveness is deceptive. Post-apocalyptic Oregon is full of deadly dangersfor which it is better to be prepared in advance. Otherwise, there is a high probability of becoming a victim of freaks and mutated beasts, or even fall into a trap other survivors.
To prevent newly arrived players from being left alone with the harsh realities of the dead world, we have prepared short briefing. It will be educational!
General recommendations
Sooner or later, each player in the person of Deacon St. John will develop his own and suitable strategy for studying the map and lore Days Gone. However, in the early stages of the game, we recommend that you pay attention to the following points.
Concentration
This is what without to survive in the wild forests and abandoned cities of Oregon almost impossible. Freakers, animals or people can be waiting on every corner. That's why it's so important stay vigilant in the study of destroyed houses, gas stations and shops. Even racing along an empty road on a motorcycle, Deacon can get into ambush: It is very problematic to notice a rope stretched across the road at high speed.
Stealth
Nobody prevents the player from becoming a local Rambo and starting to wreak havoc in the dense forests of Oregon, but this idea is in advance doomed to fail. Phreakers and mutants are very sensitive to noise, so any random shot will become for them landmark. The most profitable tactic when playing Days Gone is stealth. Turning off the motor of a motorcycle on the outskirts of abandoned settlements and moving from building to building in short dashes, Deacon will go unnoticed and can penetrate behind enemy lines.
Economy
An equally important aspect of the game, having understood which the player will not lack elite equipment and resources. Every camp has survivors in circulation own currency and monopoly on certain types goods. By studying the offers of merchants from different settlements in advance and outlining a list of desired improvements, it will be possible to save both time and resources for the exchange.
Research
The source useful items in Days Gone are not only abandoned houses, shops and cars, but also the corpses of the dead. Therefore, the ability to quickly "vacuuming" the neighborhood will provide Deacon with the necessary upgrades the resources, stable growth of finance and high level of trust among merchants.
Moving
In addition to the standard option for moving around the map, the game features fast-travel. Its peculiarity is the presence of requirements, non-compliance with which deprive player possibilities instantly move between locations. To unlock the maximum number fast travel points, you need to improve relations with friendly camps from the very beginning of the game, clear mutant nests and activate generators in NERO checkpoints.
Bike
Deacon's best friend (Bukhar, move over 😊) is his iron Horse. It was he who most often pulled the protagonist out of trouble, and it is to him that the player will owe his life countless times. Therefore, we recommend focusing on it improvements.
Speed and capacity of the gas tank
Having pumped both parameters, Deacon will become a real thunderstorm for local roads. The vast territories of Oregon and a large number of dangers do not allow you to get to points of interest on your own two feet, so first improvements bike should be associated with an increase in speed characteristics and fuel tank capacity.
Filling
The presence of a functioning gas station or a can of gasoline within walking distance will excite the player throughout the age. Long-distance travel on the map is always associated with high fuel consumption, therefore, before sending on the next outing, you need to refuel to the eyeballs. However, there is practically no truly serious fuel shortage: canisters scattered all over the place, and in a critical situation they are highlighted on the map.
Repair and upgrade
As befits a mechanical beast, the bike tends to break down. Scrap metal and spare parts needed for repairs can be borrowed from abandoned cars. Fortunately, there are a huge number of them in the dead state.
The battle
During the time lived in the changed world, Deacon has acquired a sufficient number of new skills. The most important of them is the ability to deal with mutants by all means available.
Hand-to-hand combat and craft
Deacon was especially successful in production of edged weapons from improvised materials, which is an effective and silent technique against enemies of any kind. The resources needed for crafting are scattered everywhere. In connection with some skills the efficiency and effectiveness of hand-to-hand combat is greatly increased.
Firearms
Despite the shortage of ammunition and the large amount of noise produced during the shot, firearms are the most reliable. security guarantor Deacon. The best weapons are available from merchants, and previously purchased copies are stored in the weapons cabinet in each camp.
Skills
The experience gained during the performance of tasks must be converted into useful skills that increase the chances of survival in an unfriendly environment. The most important of these is endurance. Thanks to her, Deacon will be able to escape from any danger.
We hope that this briefing will ease the first hours of your stay in the wild Oregon and reduce the risk of death from the sharp claws of the first freak you meet. Have a good game!
