Found in
- CascadeCascade is the northern starting region, in the Farewell wilderness around Copeland's Camp at Peaceful Lake. It is where you learn the game, and it still has 8 Hordes and 4 NERO research sites to come back for.
- Logging Camp InfestationThe Logging Camp Infestation is the first nest zone you burn, at the logging camp at the foot of O'Leary Mountain in Cascade. You clear it in Clear Out Those Nests to keep Freakers away from the safehouse while Boozer heals.
- O'Leary MountainO'Leary Mountain is where Deacon and Boozer's lookout-tower safehouse stands at the start of the game. It is home turf early on, with a small Horde on its trails and a nest zone at its foot.
Good to know
- It can be done as soon as the Cascade open world unlocks after Drifters on the Mountain.
- It teaches the nest-burning loop you repeat for every Infestation Zone on the map.
- Clearing it also counts for the Logging Camp Infestation zone.
Objectives
1. Ride to the logging camp below O'Leary Mountain. 2. Burn every nest in the Infestation Zone and kill the Freakers that come out.
Tips
Bring Molotovs or fuel before you go. Each burning nest spits out its Freakers, so throw from range and back off before they reach you.
BoozerBoozer is Deacon's best friend and riding partner, and a former Sergeant-at-Arms of the Mongrels MC. He rides with you from the first mission as the two hunt bounties in the Cascades. What happens to him in the opening hours drives much of the first half of the story.
Mark CopelandMark Copeland, called Cope, runs Copeland's Camp on the shore of Peaceful Lake and hosts the Radio Free Oregon broadcast. You meet him early, right after his people strip your bike for parts. His camp is the first one you build trust with.
- Logging Camp InfestationThe Logging Camp Infestation is the first nest zone you burn, at the logging camp at the foot of O'Leary Mountain in Cascade. You clear it in Clear Out Those Nests to keep Freakers away from the safehouse while Boozer heals.
Patjens Lakes InfestationThe Patjens Lakes Infestation is a small Belknap nest job with 3 nests, and an easy first full infestation after Clear Out Those Nests. It pays Hot Springs Trust and credits.

It's a Rifle, Not a Gun
Copeland takes you hunting near his camp in Cascade. He shows you how to track a deer, lends you his rifle for the shot, and teaches you to follow the wounded animal and gut it.

With your bike gone from O'Leary Mountain, you set out on foot to get it back. The trail leads through a marauder camp near the safehouse and ends at Copeland's Camp.
