Days Gone

1.41 Patch Notes

Weekly DLC Challenges

“Reload” is the next free Horde DLC challenge! You have 3 minutes to take down 300 Freakers by utilizing your environment and a .50 BFG! (Unlocked on 8/23!)
- The .50 BFG can penetrate through multiple Freakers! Shoot through the Horde and survey your surrounding for any nearby explosive objects
- The sub-challenges all tie into different ways of killing the horde. If you want to get gold in all of them at once be sure to manage how many Swarmers you’re killing by any one method
“Hog Wild” is our final free bike DLC challenge! Reach Pioneer Cemetery as fast as you can while ensuring you don’t let go of the gas throttle. (Unlocks today!)
- Drifting back and forth can slow you down if you need a break
- Alternative paths offer opportunities for different sub-objectives
“Dead Before Daylight” has you trapped in house while a relentless Horde comes for you! Survive for 5 minutes and if you end up outside, it will only attract more Freakers.
- Make sure you search all 3 floors of the building! There are lots of powerful guns and explosives hidden throughout.
- We added a brand new weapon in this challenge. It’s quite satisfying to use against the Horde!
- Use the whole building to your advantage! Barricaded doors and windows are great for buying yourself time to prepare, and blocking off entry-points into the building.
Challenge 12 – Will be unlocked on September 13th

A reminder that all the challenges we release are planned to stay unlocked indefinitely.

Announcement about “Dead Don’t Ride” and “Outride”

Dead Don’t Ride

Due to a scoring error that occurred when we launched this challenge which gave an excessive amount of additional points at the end, we have done a one-time reset ONLY for the “Dead Don’t Ride” leaderboard. We don’t expect to reset these or any leaderboards in the future. We apologize for any of the inconvenience this may have caused and hope to see your new scores on the “Dead Don’t Ride” leaderboards soon!
Any progress regarding patches, progress, and trophies will remain for “Dead Don’t Ride”

Turning this feature on inside the Accessibility Options Menu will now automatically complete all the in-game Grapple Button events without the need to press any buttons. Note this feature is accessible in Easy Mode Only.

Controller Dead Zone

Located in the Gameplay Options Menu, we have added the ability to adjust the Dead Zone for your controller. There are 4 adjustments (small, medium, default and large) that allow players to fine tune the stick movement to their liking, even fixing some extreme issues caused by some seasoned controllers.
