Part of

Horde KillerHorde Killer is the storyline for wiping out every Freaker Horde in Oregon. It mixes a few story missions with the open-world Hordes you find yourself, from small cave groups in the north to the huge swarms in the south.

Requires

Drifters on the MountainWith 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.

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.

Good to know

50 Swarmers, in the Cascade region.
Pays 2,000 XP, plus 1,600 Trust and 550 credits at Copeland's Camp.
It becomes a target after the mission Drifters on the Mountain.
Horde Killer progress unlocks guns: the SMP9 at 4 Hordes, the Auto Shotgun at 10 and the MG 55 at 24.
It is tied to the White King Mine, which stays open after you clear it.

How to approach it

At this size a Horde is a good first try. Find a spot with one way in, such as a ladder, ledge or doorway. Molotovs, a couple of pipe bombs and a shotgun or SMG will do the rest.

Day and night

Hordes bed down somewhere dark during the day and move out at night to feed and drink. Scout the area in daylight while it sleeps, then pick when to start the fight. If you only need to pass through, give its route a wide berth after dark.

If it goes wrong

You can ride off, restock and come back. The kill count holds for a while, but stray Swarmers top the Horde back up if you wait too long. Keep your bike fuelled and parked on your exit route, not in the Horde's path.

Deacon wants to come back and seal the mine. While it stays open, another Horde could move in.
