DAYS GONE

The glitch in the video from PraK for the first test works as of 06/23/2021. There shouldn’t be any difficulties, just don’t forget to change your hand when shooting when aiming.

If it doesn’t work out at all, I advise you to look at guides for gold on the Hardcore Games channel. The channel is small, there is nothing else besides Days Gone. There are not all tests, only for hordes. The person tells and shows as clearly as possible what and how to do.
According to his guides, I completed all the horde tests without any problems, with the exception of “Infection”. I couldn’t find any good guides on “Infection”. Just improvisation and luck.

As of November 5, 2021, the glitch from the PraK hint is still working. We take cartridges, traps, and a few additional decoys; the video shows where to get them. He climbs onto the roof, we shoot everyone. You can wait a bit until a good crowd gathers. I actually succeeded the first time, when I checked whether the glitch was working, that is, the ammo that was given at the beginning of the test should even be enough.

We start the same way, open the trunk of the police car, and climb into the truck where there is a box of ammunition. In advance, we install mines with motion sensors along the road, or radio-controlled ones. And we start shooting from the truck with a crossbow at the horde. When she runs out of the pits, we run in a circle as in the video in the tips above. As soon as she fell behind, we carefully return back, shooting the lonely freaks with a crossbow, preferably in the head. I didn’t return back to the truck, but to the ditch that leads from the pit with the horde, only not in the ditch itself, but at the top on the right. He again fired 2-3 shots at the horde and ran away. And so on until I hit intermediate gold, a crossbow kill. At the same time, I received bronze for a headshot kill. This took about 6-8 minutes. Then I shot a little more with the crossbow. 1-2 approaches, there were approximately 65-75 kills. Then I sneaked up to the pit with the horde as in the video in the tips above, threw napalm into the pit and then everything was as in the video. Only the crowd is no longer 300, but in the region of 150-200 freaks. We run in a circle and shoot back as in the video, do not forget about the pre-installed mines. I roughly destroyed the remains in 4 laps without taking much risk. This method took longer than the video above, but for me it’s easier. When I destroyed the horde, I had three golds in intermediate, one silver for a headshot kill. In this way, I earned gold on the second attempt, but we must take into account that I studied the map while I was there, as in the video above.

The glitch in the video from PraK is still working as of 12/08/2020. If you have problems moving to the second roof along the wooden crossbar, then go to the controller settings and reduce the sensitivity of all indicators by 50%. Walk along the crossbar only at a normal slow pace. It is very difficult to run across as in the video.

Test 6: Delivery of passengers so that the passenger's satisfaction scale does not fall quickly; when you transport him, do not use nitro and try not to crash too much. If you see that you don’t have time to deliver a satisfied one and still have enough time for a neutral one, just turn the drifts in different directions and raise the multiplier, thereby the points for delivery will increase significantly - it was this action that helped me easily pass the test and I didn’t see it used in the video.
Challenge 8: Race against the clock Alternating between different actions gives you more time to hold the multiplier. When I focused on the drifts, somewhere around the first big jump the multiplier fell. When he made steady drifts (not short ones, but tried to make them longer), killed the freaks and jumped wherever possible, the multiplier held on for a long time and in the intervals where he had previously fallen, he managed to get there with a reserve. and gold for a 120sec multiplier makes the passage very easy.
Test 9: Horde It is much more effective to run to the yellow bus on the left immediately after the first shooting. You can run along it, shooting at 4 bridges, which break, kill freaks and give points for an intermediate medal. As soon as I saw this bus, I immediately went for gold. It’s also somehow crooked for me to consider killings through barriers. Therefore, he ran to a building with broken windows, jumped over, turned on the slowdown and snipered the crowd outside the window, in this place all the murderers were defending themselves.
Test 10: Speed ​​Race The essence of the race is to never let off the gas. If instead , release the brake by pressing frequently , then you can calmly ride without straining, somewhere it skidded, but then it went into torsion on the spot and then I leveled the bike where I needed it and let go and drove straight. Try it, it will help a lot if it works.

The videos of foreign players still helped me personally:

Challenge 1 - Surrounded
Challenge 2 - Survive
Challenge 3 - Drifters Run
Challenge 4 - Ambush Camp Rush
Challenge 5 - Keep Them Safe
Challenge 6 - Dead don't Ride
Challenge 7 - Infested
Challenge 8 - Outride
Challenge 9 - Reload
Challenge 10 - Hog Wild
Challenge 11 - Dead Before Daylight
Challenge 12 - Black Friday

Video guide (ru) with passing the first test with a glitch (works on version 1.61)
with single shots he filled a pile of corpses, after about 70 kills you can try to place a bomb on the mountain of corpses. The main thing is not to spend anything else before, otherwise there won’t be enough in the end
up to 200 kills place only bombs and shoot
Then you can increase the speed and start throwing flammable and explosive objects
from 380-400 kills the fun begins: up to this point, the combo counter was not so important, but now it’s better to keep it. If you don’t shoot him down, then by 600 kills there will already be 150k+ points (I threw everything that was left in all directions, the waves arrived with such frequency that the counter grew very quickly)
And it’s important: watch out for active freaks, if there are too many of them under you, they will begin to leak onto the roof.

If you are having serious problems getting gold in Challenge 8 (Full Speed), then I recommend postponing it and first knocking out the gold stripes in Challenges 9 and 10 (everything is much easier there). They will make your life much easier. After them, your bike will take less damage from falling, which is essential when performing jumps, and it will become much easier to aim from the bike at medium and long range. I also recommend using rings such as Gear and Snake to save fuel and repair the bike during skids. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and don’t give up if you can’t complete it for a long time, remember the route and keep in mind that randomness plays a small role here.

In fact, for people who have completed the game and mastered the basic mechanics and equipment, there should be no difficulties in passing the tests. The only thing I can recommend is where to start, first, preferably go through the cemetery, get a badge and points, second, capture the camp, it’s advisable to close it with gold, it’s not difficult, but for it a useful badge is given with a piercing to fly out, then you can just run through each test once, In addition to the first, gain points and reputation in order to take rings for endurance and reloading, and immediately close the hordes, they are useful everywhere except the pit, where other rings are better suited, for crossbows and for heads. Having these rings and stripes, passing the hordes will not be difficult. You won’t have to tinker with the bike a lot, if you don’t immediately master what is required of you, it is advisable to simply do all the intermediate tests during the race, not lower than silver, and better yet, gold, due to their points you will get more, even if you couldn’t carry the big X’s. They say that the first test is the most difficult, I don’t agree, it’s the same in difficulty as everyone else, it’s just that the character in it is stock in terms of HP and stamina, I personally passed it calmly, without glitches and bugs, and without rings, one ring is ideal for it , this is a ring that restores stamina when overcoming obstacles, the second one is optional, and knowledge of the map, where the baits are and where it is better to scatter them, to survive the first wave correctly, and when there are a lot of them, calmly holding X, sometimes scattering baits and grenades with cocktails to maintain X, It is better to stick to the route from the spawn to the right and so on in a circle counterclockwise and act according to the situation.
