[@taylorhead9842]

Nicely done video with lots of good tips. A few I think you missed were the smoke bombs. If a breaker is running at you just throw one at them and they will stun which let's you knife/stealth kill them if you have the upgrade unlocked. Same with a group of humans throw it into the crowd then sprint up and start knifing everyone. The proximity and landmine bombs are best used by running from a horde turn around to face them and plant it at your feet and dodge roll away. You can climb faster than hordes so climbing up onto trucks,buses, nero trailers gives the best opportunity to use throwable explosives cause the horde gathers up to climb; it also gives you a better view of them to throw your explosive. It's a shame they weren't working on a sequel! It's such a great game!

Finished the game yesterday. It took me a week to get a 100% on all storylines. I love the story and the characters. I cried and laughed too. Best moment: killed like 19 bad dudes and two wolves on a bounty hunt, and got killed by a random bear from behind just before pulling the trigger on the last guy. Crazy stuff! This game is worth the journey.

Additional tips and tricks for new players, 1. I highly suggest looking for those Ambush camps as soon as you can, or at least by having Fuel Tank II. It clears the fog (on the map) and reveals Nero checkpoints & sites, and historical markers. 2. Some collectibles can only be found by searching buildings, so I suggest, if you pass by a building that looks like it's important, there's a chance that there's a collectible inside. The triangular popups that show when you use Survival Vision can be confusing so try to go near tables or wall posters. 3. In addition to tow trucks having gas, police cars often have ammos, ambulances have med kits, and firetrucks often have hatchets or axes. 4. Utilize residue bolts to its full potential by hitting machine gunners if you spot them on camps. 5. Pay attention to non-Freaker enemy units wearing helmets. One headshot is not enough to kill them so you might end blowing your cover. Double tap is your friend (you can't do it on bold actions SRs and the crossbow though). 6. Use explosive bolts. Pair it with Attractors or Attractor Bombs and you'll find hordes to be a little bit easier. 7. Incendiary bolts make clearing Crier (infected crows) nests easier. Do not bother shooting Criers because they will spawn infinitely, unless you're aiming to farm them. In that case, equip yourself with a shotgun. 8. There is an option in the menu settings to change the repeated press button to hold/long press instead. It's quite useful if you don't like quick time events that require a lot of button mashing. 9. Sprinting towards the motorcycle while immediately pressing E will result into fast mounting. 10. Do not forget to use cocktails. They're quite useful, especially the Stamina variant. 11. If you find the game to be less challenging and you have the PC version, use mods. There is a mod that decreases the natural light at night, making it way darker,. Another mod completely disables Focus Shot. There are lot more so check them out :)

[@TedNipples]

Thank you for the tips list. They are good. I did not know about the fast mounting bike method. That would have saved me epic amounts of time on my play throughs. I should have probably mentioned disabling the quick time events button pressing in the video.

[@Travis-guy-247]

Man I wish that night time mod was available on PS5... One of the biggest complaints I have with the aesthetics of this game is just how damn bright the night time is! The moon is almost as bright as the sun lol, it really breaks the immersion and makes it a lot less challenging at night. Dying Light did a much better job with night time lighting.

[@GrandSupremeDaddyo]

A tip for maxing out Trust at camps: When you rescue people in the wild send them to camps that give Trust rather than credits, and turn in your bounties and meats to camps that don't.

@@pegetaDont fast travel too much when you do you miss these kinds of things

[@Quique724]

Here is one. Rather than retelling your late game weapons’ ammo at the merchants; refill them by using your bike’s carry bag. It will fill up your entire weapon, and it only costs 400 credits to replace. Some weapons might go up in the thousands of credits by themselves to refill and will really kill your credits at some camps.

[@TedNipples]

That is true. If players are really running low on ammo during the late game, it is less costly to refill using the bike rather than at camps. Good point.

[@pphead9960]

Thanks a lot. I’m replaying the game on hard2 survival 2 so I can get the achievements and only just started. Just saved me a few thousand credits.

[@TheBruise25]

1 thing that I wish I knew before I played.... The hordes at top half of the map only have about 50 to 100 freakers. Your primary and a couple grenades should be all you need. I was under the impression that they were 200 to 300 strong and I missed out on serious xp. SO TAKE ON THOSE HORDES!👍🏻

[@marcuspoblets]

Thank you. I only got the game a few days ago since I don’t typically play zombie games since the first few Resident Evil games. I’ve been so hesitant to charge towards Hordes and I always avoid them. I even had to google the best and easiest way to fight the Chemult horde (which was the first Horde I ever fought) and I still haven’t replayed the side mission “Just doing my job” where the horde caught me by surprise 😂 though I was informed that the horde there can be avoided by simply going through the tight gap. Can’t wait to start my New Game plus where I’ll better equipped and ready 😂

The only universal thing I can think of in this game is upgrade your stamina. Everything uses stamina and if you run out you're in trouble, I upgraded my stamina to 100% before I touched focus or health and have no regrets.

[@joetroutt7425]

I have been doing the same. It just makes sense. If you can't outrun the enemies it doesn't matter how much health you have you will run out trying to heal yourself trying to get away.

[@stevel6943]

Same

[@luisrojas7741]

I maxed focus first, i guess its because of my careful playstyle i never actually have to run unless there is a horde or many breakers

[@TheConCarlos]

I would say max only stamina if you plan to fight hordes from the beginning. I was maxing both stamina and focus simultaneously in the earlie game, only after iron mikes camp I started to prioritize stamina.

[@lukkas8652]

This is probably the most helpful guide out there to be honest.

[@Nommsama]

Another free days gone player. I went in blind, no knowledge at all. My experience went as followed: "Oh cool! A checkpoint! And there's just 3 freakers in the train! Eeeeez." *Takes aim and one notices* "O-oh.... what have I done..." I got lucky and got out only to have mauraders hiding out where I was headed. Decided to look up how to dust these hordies and went back to set up. Luck favored me greatly as I was getting ready I heard bikes. Another group of bozos came to take a crack at me but ended up becoming a representation of what a horde will do to me if I get caught. Lucky for me I had the attractor from the lodge and two pipebombs so it was easy pickin'.

[@markbrowning4334]

That's one thing that makes this game so good. There are so few scripted events. Even within the missions, the environment or other raiders can randomly show up and change the course of action. I can wipe out a horde and go untouched, but then get my ass kicked by barrages of wolves, bears, freaks, or mauraders while simply just trying to bike back to a camp. The game's random nature is a thing of beauty.

[@darthghetts]

I think I know the horde you're talking about, I wasn't familiar with horde killing and it gave me that true sense of panic as I struggled to sprint into the tunnel nearby, this kinda worked as a funnel so I was able to spam molotovs and shoot them

[@troyuher1218]

I think the reason residue bolts don’t work on hordes is because the horde behaves as a hive mind (I think I remember NERO intel stating this) and are one entity, therefore it won’t attack itself. I believe the hordes are specifically referred to as Homo sapiens mutans turba.

[@Shapes_Quality_Control]

Yes. According to the Nero intel the specific mutation that gives rise to the variants that collect in hordes secrete a pheromone like bees in order to identify and coordinate with each other. This is why hordes will attack freaker variants not apart of the horde like the screamers or ragers.

[@Homieslice]

One of the most useful resources is kerosene for taking out nests for fast travel. 1 kerosene makes one Molotov which takes out one nest. 1 Kerosene Also makes 3 incinderary bolts taking 3 nests per kerosene the incinderary bolts are better investment

[@pedinhuh16]

Word of warning: Fuel is easy to come be on NORMAL difficulty. On Survival II, the spawns points are the same but frequency they respawn is reduced, save for scripted events such as when you go to a NERO research center for the first time and need to restore the power. Also no HUD certainly makes things much harder.

[@rendydevilzz]

Here are some more tips: 1. Breakers can be easily killed with melee weapons (assuming you have learned skills that increase melee dmg) couple of strikes they die. 2. If Breaker engage you, throw him flashbang or smoke granade, he wil be stuned and you can stealth kill him easily. 3. Rocks can be usefull to position almost every enemy ( not wolves and bears) for stealth kill, you can clear whole camps using rock+knife combo, also rock talent is very good if you hit someone with it, it also stuns. 4. Before flooding rippers it is best to open and clear whole iron bute map, so you won't lose some collectibles.

[@ghostslayer1981]

An expansion on the escape artists skill: Different enemies cause harder skill checks. The easiest ones are the normal freakers, drifters, and rippers. The medium ones are the wolf's and bobcat, and the hardest ones are with the breakers, reachers, ragers, and bears. They are very small so quick reflex is needed. Oh I forgot to add this the grapple with the breakers, reaches, ragers, and bears only happens once you buy the executioner skill on the 5th tier of the melee tree.

In search for a canister or a solid road even I got jumped by a dozen Freakers trying to inch my way forward through the bushes. No suppressors left for my guns, I escaped into a dumpster near some camping parking lot toilets. Waiting for the sun to rise again, I think let's watch this video. And what is your first tip?

A true statement. Deacon is a badass with a full fuel tank and bullets to spare. But run out of both, and there can be problems real quick.

[@terrylandess6072]

I still like how the horde mechanic will allow them to spread when you kite them, so if/when you stop to clear more, the possibility of getting flanked increases. It makes you really think about your escape path which I like to define with my bike as the target for easier directional awareness. Press 'H' to skip made me very happy on replays.

This game is great but there is so much to learn. I started playing a long ago before learning anything about it online. I play it on Hard and I tell you... I almost gave up a few times. Thanks for the video.

[@glenwaldrop8166]

When fighting the breaker, if you have the bat with the saw and nails (supreme bat?) then it only takes like 8 strikes to take him out entirely. The bear are also much easier to take out with the supreme bat than anything else. You can drop a hundred rounds into the big badda bear or you can beat him down with the supreme bat pretty easily.

I usually get so sick of the monotony of open world games, but even 30+ hours in the way this game integrates their side quests into the flow of the game is brilliant. I regret waiting all this time to play this gem

[@terrylandess6072]

I agree although most times you won't get many missions till you're riding which is obviously one way the game knows you're not 'involved' in something at that moment. So instead of waiting for the next, I can push for it by taking a spin around the local camp instead of getting 'those' while on my way to do something which feels intrusive.

[@hammerbro1947]

21:30 Even if the breaker sees you, you can use a flashbang or smoke bomb to stun it, then go in for the stealth kill. However, I find flashbangs to be more useful, because the smoke bomb doesn't leave a lasting effect if the throw misses completely.

There's one little lonely house south with a Machete in it. 22 Repeater: On top of the waterpower plant, also very close (north-)east of the first hideout. There's a stairway and ladder that obviously lead to the highest point of the power plant, on the walkway there are multiple items to loot including the Level 2 Rifle.

That loot atop the deck at the waterplant is respawning loot. There is also a second floor window at the hotel in Marion Forks that has respawning good loot. I believe the farmouse just across the blown out bridge in Marion Forks also has a second floor room with respawning good loot.

[@LowBudgetYoutuber]

I love having the Horde chase me on Motorcycle to nearest Camp. They kill many real fast. Also works instantly with the Bear. You just miss the XP but plenty of Ears.

[@markbrowning4334]

I tried dragging the draw bridge horde over to a nearby ripper camp on my last playthrough. I thought I might see if they'd help me thin out the horde. Those piece of crap rippers didn't kill one single freak for me.

[@krismarcustiffany]

I’ve been playing this fame solid for the last year and it just gets better. Still can’t believe there isn’t going to be a sequel! Great video BTW

[@TedNipples]

True, though I wouldn't want a direct sequel of the story. I like the way they ended Days Gone, I think they wrapped it up nicely. I would prefer the sort of sequel where it is the same time period, but different people in a different area so we could see how other people handled the crisis. Like a version in Great Britain or Indonesia where guns are really scarce, or a version in India or China where the hordes would be significantly bigger.

[@krismarcustiffany]

@@TedNipples that’s a great shout actually!! I love that idea!

[@markbrowning4334]

​@@TedNipplesI don't know..... Deacon is a very cool and likeable character. I'd want to maintain him. Boozer and Sarah kind of sucked, so they could drop them.

[@VentilatorenBumser]

From tip 32 you managed to combine ASMR with Freaker slaughtering...epic

[@KimVerdacht]

Thank you so much for the tips! I just started this game and oh man i love this game already. One thing that im scared of is horde, i just meet them in that one abandoned train in one of the nero station and it scared the hell out of me haha

[@jeremydeansausages1985]

This video actually help take a lot of the anxiety away. I'm super thankful for this video thank you my friend

[@kan-zee]

0:25...I didn't know that...cool Nor did I know that , about the TOW TRUCKS...awesome 5:56...I didn't know that about the XP Indicators...cool 7:33..nice !! 9:04...lol yum yum yum yum yummm..lol This was sooo helpful ....thank you Ted for this upload

[@MrBeetsGaming]

I can't believe I've played as long as I have and I didn't realize you could refuel at those barrels in the home base.... I've just been running in and grabbing the gas can every time.....

[@maxamillion3437]

Thanks for the vid I've finished the main story just clearing out some more hordes and camps but this video is still amazing and the "your safe now" mission is still my favorite

[@TedNipples]

I am so glad there are other people out there who have played this game all the way through and have seen all the story beats. Reviewers were so down on this game for being generic, but I don't think many reviewers played the game all the way through because some of the stories are brilliant. I would have never guessed the ending to the "You're Safe Now" missions.

[@4422-w6q]

I just started playing it 2 days ago and I'm in love with this game plus you have the best tips and tricks video I've seen on this game subscribed ❤🖤

[@davidbutler2617]

I'm replaying now. I got it as soon as it came out and loved it from day one. I was very disappointed when there was no DLC or a sequel. I'm really loving the idea of a movie and a sequel

[@maddrop]

It´s probably the best game i played in many years.

[@nicktheegg]

Great video! Well presented, easy to understand, and extremely helpful! Respect to you mate, keep it up 👍👍

[@FabulousFab72]

One of the best video on the subject I saw so far. On the point and really usefull, even for returning player like me who have beaten the game 1 and a half year ago. Cannot agree more : Days Gone is a very underrated game.

[@KojiStowe]

I just started the game and watched several videos but found yours the most helpful. Thank you.

[@ElMatador-ws3in]

I just started playing this game!! It is unreal! Thank you sir for your tips. There definitely gonna help me out!!

[@knotpaulls1347]

I 100%ed this game a year and a halve ago thoroughly enjoyed it , watching your video has me digging it out again for another playthru , so thx man . PS great vid also .

[@Willow_6996]

2:48 in fact the amount the bike is damaged does not effect how much scrap you obtain from it unless the bike is totalled then you will not be able to sabotage it of course

[@insertnamehere5452]

How the hell do you only have 255 subscribers? Your content is amazing!

[@TedNipples]

Thank you. 🙂

[@donnydont]

If you're on PC get some amazing mods such as: - much larger fuel capacity (2-3.5x) - x10 durability for melee weapons - better stamina - extended explosion radius for throwables - two ears per kill instead of one (as it should be) - instant car opener - new outfits for Deacon which match the game's aesthetic

[@mrtomhallett]

Does using mods on steam games disable steam achievements like on PlayStation?

[@TB-wvvvw]

None of those mods are needed really; things become easy through normal progression in the game. Things like getting fuel and supplies from car trunks for example are a logical part of the experience and become less frequent as you level up anyway, and it's more fun to earn improvements gradually so that you can enjoy the rewards of your effort. The game is very well designed.

[@ItsYaBoy_Buzz]

9:06 now that caught me off guard 😂

[@Ryattt81]

My tip is, if you play on controller, switch "O" and "R3". That way crouch is on your R3, and your drift is on R3 as well, and you dont have to forefit camera control for a sharp turn.

[@GamingFan1]

Amazing tips. I watched several other videos but none had as good and as comprehensive tips as this one. Thanks for making this video.

[@wojciechp7457]

the best guide about Days gone in yt, good job man

[@mroblivion8061]

This video covered everything it possibly could. You earned a sub :)

[@shrek813]

I recently just started this one about 3 weeks ago, and i have no clue why it got so much hate. Im in love with it

[@CheebsCheeby]

Great video. Just got this on steam and these tips are really useful.

[@MoonlitPhoenix0]

Here's another tip: any wooden weapon can be upgraded to a spiked weapon, this includes stool legs and 2x4

[@ghostslayer1981]

And they can also all receive buzzsaw upgrades

[@A_state_of_PJ]

There was actually one time that I fast traveled and then drove somewhere for a minute and then ran out of fuel. Couldn’t find fuel for the life of me. Finally just ran to an encampment and spawned my bike there. Now I’m more conscious of my fuel

[@daviddavodi]

WTF I 100% expected you to have like a million subs halfway through the video lol

[@TedNipples]

Yeah, but it is kinda cool that you are here on the ground floor where it all began. That way, if I ever do get 1 million subs, you can be one of those people who says, _"Who, him? oh yeah, I used to watch him when he was a nobody with just a few hundred subs."_ Though by that time, I will probably be giving tips for Holodeck games.

[@Norcalchoom]

days gone is truly a VERY good game. the addition of the syphon filter rifle in ng+ is fan bloody tastic!

[@Norcalchoom]

My first accident encounter with the hoards was so funny 😁 just me running around yelling "shit shit shit shit shit" so memorable

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

Me too. I avoided them until forced into the Chemult and Sawmill hordes, was shouting "will you b**** run" constantly.

[@markbrowning4334]

Not to mention the death stranding bike additions. I never played death stranding, but the bike parts are pretty cool.

[@paulnolan4971]

Just picked it up on PC. Several hours in. Lovin it, fantastic guide man thanks

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

Excellent stuff! Very informative and I loved the slightly robotic delivery! 10/10

[@gurugeorge]

I just got this on cheap sale because I fancied playing a new game and the latest Threat Interactive YT vid about the game's being top notch graphics-wise piqued my interest, although I hae to say, I wasn't holding out much hope for the game based on the description, but on a whim I gave it a chance. And yeah, it really is a top game. On paper you might think meh, another zombie sandbox game (as you say), but something about the virtual world (very varied, amazing weather changes, etc.) the characters, the way the mechanics are sort of finely tuned to flow into each other (e.g. gathering, survival, crafting, etc.) makes it extremely moreish and addictive. I'd say it's one of the best, most immersive post-apoc/zombie/survival(ish) games out there. The story is also very, very well told in context. It's not an enormously originaly story, but a lot of thought has obviously gone into the pacing of the way it's revealed and finding out what happens next starts to be part of the addictive draw of the game, especially as you come to care about the characters Another plus point is that it's an incredibly well-optimized game that'll run like butter even on a potato, and it also looks amazing anjd very, very crisp visually, maybe even the best "outdoorsey" typpe of game yet made - which really adds to the sense of realism and immersion, one's sense of "bering there."

[@brian7becker]

19:26 You can use this in your favor to get the "killing a horde in 60 seconds" trophy on survival mode. Just kill most of the members of a horde and then runaway. Let the last members regroup and then kill then all with a grenade or a molotov in less than 60 seconds. The game will count as an entire horde. That's how I got my trophy.

[@Vader4499]

There's a much easier way. In the very early game, there's some extremely small hordes, that can be taken out with just an attractor and a single frag grenade. These hordes only have about 25-50 freakers. Just sit in a bush, throw an attractor near them, and aim for them with a frag. Thats it. Finished. I assume that the game starts timing you after killing the first freaker, so keeping that in mind, you would have a huge window to aim the frag at the horde. If you do not have frags you can use pipe bombs. Molotovs don't work well with this strategy. You can get frags and pipe bombs at some hidden locations throughout the world. You can search for it. A youtuber by the name SpawnicusRex has a video on it too

[@chrishellmax]

Coming from ng+ games like dying light and horizon and red dead online, i must admit this is the first time that i flippen screamed at my weapons not working . Also noping at my first horde spotted. Up there with one of top 10 fav games. As well as other open world games i enjoyed.

[@markbrowning4334]

Yeah....for me the hordes went from "uhm no" to "what new and inventive way can I come up with to clear these guys".

[@The_Rude_French_Canadian]

Nobody ever mentions you can turn on motion sensor aim in the option it’s helpful to get those precise shot and adding a more hands-on take to the combat…I just love games that have that like Helldivers and Fortnite!

[@Lionlovesunity]

Lol well I know you didn’t play on the survival 2 difficulty. Fuel ⛽️ is not everywhere. It is extremely hard to find out in the wilderness. I’ve run out on a few occasions and it’s the most intense moments trying to find some and get back to the bike. I love it. 🦁❤️

[@MartinDurden]

Must say mate, probably the best tip guide I have come across for this game, kudos my good sir, kudos.

[@shanesimmons3784]

Also, don't overlook the machete as a solid choice for a melee weapon, even if you have a baseball axe or the superior axe - because it's quite a bit faster, and you can get more hits in, in the same amount of time. I actually prefer it over the axes. If the axes are brute force weapons, then the machete is a more of a finesse weapon, basically. Apparently, though, because it faster and doesn't involve an overhand swing, the machete doesn't leave you as open to attack as much as the axes.

[@blank-dj1rc]

I think the first tip about fuel depends on what kind of player you are, as someone who tends to explore as much as they can before doing any of the missions, I found myself plenty of times trying to conserve fuel since I never had any of the bike upgrades.

[@TedNipples]

True 👍

[@aybersongarcia3814]

I love how detailed you explain everything. Keep it up 👍

[@Nickolaars]

I applaud how Mr. Nipples isn’t screaming all these tips ‘n tricks into the microphone like all the other guys on this platform.

[@fatfreddyscoat7564]

Great video, especially with the timing of the PS Plus release of the game. I learned a lot!

[@JohnLloydDavis]

I just got the game yesterday and it's great. I'm a big Skyrim fan and after playing that for a good few years, I've been looking for similar open-world-sandbox-type-games. I tried a few like Mad Max and the amazing Witcher 3 but, they didn't click with me like this one has. I like the tension when creeping around trying to avoid being attacked by things, the crafting and weapons systems, the skills you can upgrade to and general gameplay. The guides are a great help so thanks for this.

[@joetroutt7425]

Have you tried Metal Gear V The Phantom Pain? It's a huge sandbox game with excellent gameplay. A whole bunch of high tech weapons. Great graphics too. I've been wanting to play Mad Max but have yet to find a hard copy of it and PS plus hasn't had it that I know of.

[@diablows1909]

Man Mad Max is one of my favorite open world games ever. Too bad it never got a new game plus mode, it needed one so badly. Does this game have new game plus?

[@TedNipples]

Yep. The freakers are stronger and fuel is slightly less available.

[@zaimhassan6490]

Late, but I have one. Lead a horde into a marauder, ripper or militia camp and chill on the sidelines. This also works with bounty targets but you'll have to wait for the horde to move away and stay out of their sight.

[@johnplageman8209]

This was very helpful. I am six hours in. I played a few AC, and all of the LOU. It's seems like a mix of each.

[@user04683]

New game plus (non survival) is way too easy. I went with hard 2 difficulty, as I heard survival mode is quite awkward without the HUD, and fast travel. If you want to replay again with a challenge, just replay on a higher difficulty. Don't bother with NG+ This is probably the best tips video for Days Gone. A highly underrated gem of a game.

[@mistertindfoting5222]

Most of this is "using your head" tbf. But great for others. Played it on release, took another shot now. So heres my "tips". DONT run over animals/freaks to spare ammunition, as he says. If you don't want to constantly search for scrap, you'll do about 75 % damage on the bike. And the credits you have at some camps are so redicilous nearing endgame that I for one don't care about paying for ammo. UPGRADE the fix bike. Nothing is more annoying than an ambush right after collecting scrap. Since scrap is used on MY favorite weapon, the underrated crossbow (extreme fun to wipe out a camp with the corruption bolt, specially when freaks are around). I prefer actually close combat, so everything to give me a bonus clubbing down enemies, I check. Besides, the price for sniper ammo is redicilous. If you don't get a mission, drive around. In about 2-3 minutes someone will pop up. DONT give ears (sic) to camps you are allied with (goes without saying). After a point in the game, ALL horde locations are mapped. DO at least 3 on the top, nevermind the "main". It WILL get you allied with Tuck and Coopland if you havent got them, and the hordes are farerly easy. If it's day time, don't bother searching all 3 lightened spots, they're always in a cave. AND the "easy" way to take out nero at the college; take out the nests with bolts, run away for each. It will make it much easier to sneak around the big horde there with some patience. Have TURNED on the mission to find music for the science guy. With this turned on, you will walk right into the tent were the missing fuse is. The only thing I havent figured out is were to find rags. Seems that if you go to some ambush camps several times, the resources stops spawning
