Days Gone places

Hot Springs

Hot Springs is Ada Tucker's work camp in Belknap, set in an old luxury resort on a dormant volcano. Go here for Alkai Turner's weapons and Belknap jobs, but expect hard rules: Tucker runs it with guards and forced labor.

Ice Wind Lava Caves

The Ice Wind Lava Caves are lava tubes Deacon explores in What It Takes To Survive, while meeting O'Brian. You meet your first Reacher here and then fight a 100-Swarmer Horde underground.

Ice Wind Lava Caves Horde

A 100-Swarmer Horde inside the Ice Wind Lava Caves that you must clear at the end of What It Takes To Survive. It does not count toward Horde Killer, so treat it as a story fight in tight tunnels.

Iron Butte

Iron Butte is the Rippers' home territory in the east, locked until late in the story. Come here for its 11 R.I.P. Sermons, two Ripper ambush camps, the Rogue Tunnel checkpoint and the Cloverdale research facility.

Iron Butte NERO Research Site 1

The only NERO research site in Iron Butte, beside a helicopter wreck across a gap from the southern Iron Butte ambush camp. A Nitrous bike jump gets you across. It only opens once Iron Butte does, after the Rippers fall.

Iron Butte Pass NERO Checkpoint

The Iron Butte Pass NERO Checkpoint is a Belknap checkpoint south of Hot Springs, on the pass toward Ripper country. It pays Hot Springs and holds an injector you can grab early.

Iron Butte Ranch Horde

A 300-Swarmer Horde at Iron Butte Ranch that you clear in Keep Them Safe, part of the push toward Wizard Island. It is the only Horde you ever fight in Iron Butte, and it shows up just for this mission.

Iron Mike's Camp

Iron Mike's Camp, also called the Lost Lake Settlement, is the encampment at the old Lost Lake resort. It becomes your home base mid-story, and its mechanic sells some of the best bike parts in the game.

Jefferson Rail Tunnel Ambush Camp

Jefferson Rail Tunnel Ambush Camp is a Cascade story job at an old rail tunnel. Clear it for Copeland's Trust and the Superior Club recipe in the bunker, a strong early melee upgrade.

Juniper Ridge Horde

The Juniper Ridge Horde is a 125-Swarmer Horde Killer target on Highway 97. It opens after For An Outlaw Biker and pays 4,000 XP plus Diamond Lake Trust.

Lava Arch Horde

The Lava Arch Horde is a 50-Swarmer Horde Killer target in Belknap. It opens after Drifters on the Mountain and pays Hot Springs Trust and credits.

Liberty Motel

Liberty Motel is a roadside motel in Chemult on Highway 97. It has no mission of its own. Chemult is still worth a scavenging run if you keep clear of the Horde at the train station.

Little Bear Lake Horde

The Little Bear Lake Horde is a 30-Swarmer Horde Killer target in the Cascade that often blocks the old Belknap Tunnel route. It opens after We've All Done Things and is an easy one to start with.

Little Bear NERO Checkpoint

The Little Bear NERO Checkpoint at Little Bear Lake in the Cascade is the first checkpoint you open. You do it during the story mission Bugged The Hell Out. It teaches the power-and-speakers routine and gives your first NERO Injector.

Lobert Draw Ridge Horde

The Lobert Draw Ridge Horde is a 300-Swarmer Horde Killer target on Highway 97, one of the largest in the game. It opens after A War We Can Win, and you should only take it on with a full kit and a long trap line.

Logging Camp Infestation

The 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.

Lost Lake

Lost Lake is the central region of the map, built around a resort lake that holds Iron Mike's Camp. It becomes your main base for the middle of the story and packs 6 Hordes, 3 infestations and Sherman's Camp.

Lost Lake NERO Research Site 1

The first of two NERO research sites in Lost Lake, just outside the mouth of a cave. It holds a NERO Injector and an intel recorder, so stop by while you work Iron Mike's jobs.

Lost Lake NERO Research Site 2

The second of two NERO research sites in Lost Lake, on a cliff by a crashed NERO helicopter. You need a bike jump to get there; upgrade the bike at Iron Mike's Camp if you keep falling short.

Lucky Lad Mine

Lucky Lad Mine is an old gold rush mine in Lost Lake. Deacon and Skizzo raid it for TNT in a run of Lost Lake story missions, so expect Newts on the roof and Marauders outside.

Marion Forks

Marion Forks is an abandoned riverside town in Belknap, split by a blown bridge. It has a church, two motels and a NERO burial pit above it. It matters to Deacon, and it holds an infestation, a Horde and good early loot.

Marion Forks Horde

The Marion Forks Horde is a 50-Swarmer Horde Killer target near the Belknap town of Marion Forks. It opens after We've All Done Things and pays Hot Springs.

Marion Forks Infestation

The Marion Forks Infestation is a 5-nest job in the Belknap town where Deacon and Sarah married. It pays Hot Springs, and clearing it makes looting the town, including the Old Wagon Hotel, much safer.

Marion Forks Tunnel NERO Checkpoint

The Marion Forks Tunnel NERO Checkpoint is a Belknap checkpoint east of Marion Forks. It pays Hot Springs and fits neatly into a trip that also clears the Marion Forks Infestation and the Belknap Caves camp.
