How to unlock the One Down achievement in Days Gone - Definitive Guide

Story related and can not be missed

Up to you when you approach this, it is story related as some missions require you to defeat a horde. However you will come across them through natural play. The easiest one in my opinion is right at the start near Deacon and Boozers camp. Its a train wreck just north of the camp, during the day the Freaks will all be inside the carriages on the bridge. Come prepared with a SMG, plenty of explosive traps and Molotovs, then this horde can be beaten in seconds.

For a more in-depth guide to dealing with hordes see Days Gone in 60 Seconds.

You don't have to bother. According to the plot, there will be a mission where you need to defeat the horde. If it doesn’t work out, then after 2-3 attempts you can offer to skip the battle (at an easy level for sure) - you can skip it - they will give you a trophy.

My first horde (I didn’t expect to meet it so early) was after clearing the marauders’ camp in Bear Streak. In the afternoon. They went to the cave to sleep, I was so worried everything went very, very simply, I set up two anti-infantry guns, went up to the cave, threw three Molotovs and on my slippers... while running away, I threw three fragmentation weapons, finished off the rest with a machine gun) I didn’t even expect that everything would go so quickly))) two were rubbing themselves near the cave bandit, it is better to kill them quietly, because the freaks may wake up.

Frag grenades helped a lot with the first (story) horde. I set traps, attacked the horde with fragmentation weapons (as many as I managed to throw - 3-4 pieces), about a third of the horde was demolished.

Everything is much simpler. You sneak up on the horde within throwing distance of a grenade so that there is a fence between you and the horde. You just sit still all the time and throw a decoy + fragmentation + molotov. Repeat until the horde is completely destroyed. It took me about a minute to do everything on a difficult level (don't forget to pick up the supplies from the captain's motorcycle that came with you).

on average they don’t let you pass. but according to the plot they give a good plan on how to act. It may not work the first time, but at an intermediate level it is not difficult. You need rapid fire weapons and molotovs. You can run away from the horde, they have difficulty overcoming obstacles, the main thing is to hide from sight

I cleared the first horde according to the plot together with the captain. Potions helped me a lot to increase my strength, in this case running away from them is not a problem. I threw molotovs, fragmentation weapons and pre-placed mines. I ran from the horde, shot at the barrels (when all the throwing “shells” ran out) and, in principle, dealt with the horde in about 5 minutes. It was wild to see mountains of corpses of freaks lying in a narrow passage!

There is a good option to extinguish the horde if there is tall grass nearby in which you can hide. We quietly get as close to the horde as possible, hide in the grass and throw bait with explosives (it’s better to stock up on them in full), after the first freaks from the horde come to it and fly into the air, we repeat again and again. You can also throw simple bait, and then napalm/molotovs/grenades. The very essence of this feature does not shine, i.e. do not look out of the grass while aiming a firearm, a machine gun, for example, or a pistol. You can throw explosives, the freaks won't see you. Well, don’t slow down too much. Thus, he destroyed the first story horde.

We find the horde’s habitat, hide in the bushes or somewhere else, throw a decoy, wait for more freaks to gather around it and throw land mines and fragmentation grenades.
