Mongolian Flashbangs

Apparently I completely missed this in all my previous playthroughs.

You can roll directly over enemy flash bombs to defuse them.

I’ve tested it a few times now and it definitely works. The timing/positioning is so finicky, though, that it’s basically useless in an actual fight.

Idk, if anyone has done this before.

Decided to go to and light up a lighthouse early. I just wanted the early Level Ups from lighthouses, but ended up burning down a lad.

Thought he was here

Oregon bandits are not very smart, to be honest.

Nest residue spawn outside infestation zones.

Did you know you can find nest residue outside infestation zones, I sure as hell didn't.

This might be the weirdest thing I have found while making the interactive Days Gone Loot map - https://interactivemap.baconfmspeedruns.workers.dev/

The map has over 3000 markers hand placed and currently I am working towards documenting as much of the Crater Lake as possible. Map is free to use and should include everything a growing drifter needs.

Hide n Deek - Where is he?

I am building a Days Gone loot map, one of the extra modes is Hide n Deek. Currently Hide n deek has around 18 locations to it. Could you guess where this guy is stuck at?

Proximity Mines - Bombs - Nobody using them like this?

Honestly, I after playing horde assault I always use proximity mines and bombs like this, since planting them takes time and usually a straggler from the horde blows up a mine instead a a bigger cluster. So I started shoving them in between the horde while they are chasing me.

I am going to cry if I see another Pack of Nails.

I am building an interactive Days Gone Loot map.

This map includes 103 spawn locations for Nails. What you’ll do with 103 nail spawns, I have no idea, but maybe you will find something else useful in this early-early version of the map.

https://interactivemap.baconfmspeedruns.workers.dev/readonly/ - 1700 markers on the map.

I have added a news page, about page and hide n deek is in early testing. Feel free to drop any feedback if you have any. As stated on the news page, I am taking 3 days off from the project and then we will be full speed ahead on the broken roads again.

Days Gone Loot Map - UPDATED!

I’m building an interactive loot map for Days Gone. Map will be free to use for anyone that cares, it only costs me a ton of time to manually track down all the loot, but maybe its worth it.

https://interactivemap.baconfmspeedruns.workers.dev/readonly/

Current features

  • Cascade Wilderness loot is roughly 90% mapped
  • Belknap Area has been STARTED - We are at 30%
  • Filters for individual loot types - materials, melee weapons, etc
  • Zoomed-out area markers that expand into accurate individual pickup locations as you zoom in
  • Focused primarily on loot and gear for now
  • Some loot has it already, but if you see 1x nearby the loot that means it does not respawn. Ammo tins, scrap from cars, etc. I will hopefully be able to gather that data in the future and make it reliable.
  • Added some critical loot spots.

Planned updates

  • Collectibles
  • Mission-specific information
  • Speedrun routes
  • Tips and other useful map tools
  • Making it pretty
  • New fun mode - you can test your map knowledge - Hide n Deek is out now, expect a lot of updates in the future.

After completing the Platinum and a 100% map speedrun in under 15 hours, I decided to take a break from speedrunning and build something useful for the community instead.

And if you think something is missing, unclear, or just bad, let me know. Feedback will directly help shape future updates.

If you find the map helpful and want to support future updates, I’d really appreciate a subscription on my youtube channel. I will post about updates on there in the future.

Breaker used to be a huge fear during S2 fresh start speedruns.

Well not anymore, vicious cycle + mg45 turns him into a joke.

Just wanted to share this clip that I got a year ago. For those who don't understand the context, I speedrun Days Gone often and it just is a nice memory when doing a mission and a deer walks into the bfg resulting in a headshot accidentally.

Every time someone posts about killing a horde with a knife.

There's someone who jokes: "Now go kill Sawmill Horde with a knife."

Today I finally did it, I beat the Sawmill Horde with only a knife as my only weapon. I walked into the Sawmill with just a knife and hit the jackpot.

Thanks, and Good Morning Oregon to you beautiful folks, keep loving this beautiful 6.5/10 game, because it deserves it..

So I decided to try this after 3 years since I last did it. Enjoy.

Thanks for the good laugh for this morning :D I loved the heck out of reading all lots of ya telling me that I should be playing the game normally and not do stupid stuff like riding a bike during missions because ofc they are going to shoot at me.

In all honesty -

During sneaking missions bikes are generally not drivable and for example Nero missions they never shoot at you or catch you. That's why I called it the weirdest death in the game - Getting killed by Lost Lake guards.
