Days Gone

Fuel - Always refuel no matter how much you have left, you can't fast travel if you haven't got enough fuel so that will not be help. You can refuel for free at any gas station which is marked on the maps and at Deacon and boozers first camp. At other camps it'll cost credit, which isn't an issue but if you come stuck then its a hard slug pushing the bike across the map. Other than that you can refuel using gas canisters found anywhere. Big note to Survival Mode is that fast travel is disabled so really keep an eye on your fuel. If you are playing Survival II on NG+ then its a lot easier as all your credits will pass over and you can upgrade your bike straight away.

Ammo - You can find ammo tins in camps and buildings but its always handy unlocking the ammo pouch for the bike and refill it whenever you are at a camp. Running out of ammo can be a pain. Even bigger in Survival Mode as Freakers take a lot more hits to kill, upgrade to the biggest pouch as soon as possible and always buy ammo when at a camp. If playing on NG+ you should have plenty of credits left over to not worry about.

Loadout - Having the correct loadout is essential for the wide variety of missions, if you are facing a horde then use an LMG, Assault rifle and stock up on all your traps/Molotovs. If you are going against an enemy camp then use silencers, the crossbow and stealth kills. Nothing different between difficulties on this, just be prepared. If playing this on NG+ you will have access to everything and the special sniper too making it a lot easier.

Bike - The bike controls aren't the best, one small crash can kill you and wreck your bike so be prepared and have plenty of scrap at the ready. Don't ride through water as it damages the bike very fast and also depletes your fuel and if its deep then you will lose the bike. Its costly for a camp to retrieve it. Get the bike upgrades as soon as you can, the best fuel tank and engine are game changers. On NG+ this is easy as all camps will be level 3 and you can get the max upgrades quickly.

Hordes - They actually come in different sizes and the larger ones can become very overwhelming. LMGs, focus and stamina pills, loads of traps and Molotovs. Grenades and pipe bombs are good too. These are best approached during the day as the horde will be 'sleeping' in which ever hole they call home. Be careful on approach because they hear you no matter how silent you are. Use traps, lay them out in a nice line. Throw an attractor into the middle of the Horde (use focus to see where they are) and then unleash a few Molotovs and bombs. Equip your LMG and mow them down whilst working your way back past your traps. They can catch up to you if you aren't sprinting so be aware of that when you are running around. Nothing changes in regards to this on Survival Mode, a single Molotov will not kill most Freakers though so be aware of that and throw double the amount in the mix and finish them off with the LMG.

Cover - Use cover a lot, you can get nearly one shot killed with max health let alone with no upgrades depending how you've choosen to attack Survival Mode. Whilst in cover, use focus before popping up and fire from there.

Minimap - Using Focus, will bring up your minimap, bike's health and fuel and your own health.
