Days Gone Ambush Camps Locations

Days Gone is filled with plenty of activities that can be found all over the open-world map and Ambush camps are some of the most important activities within the game. There are a total of 14 ambush camp locations scattered across the game’s map, acting as bunkers where Deacon can rest and re-stock on ammo.

Since Days Gone’s map is so vast, it can be a little difficult tracking down each of the ambush camps. So take a look through our guide for all of the Days Gone ambush camps locations.

Ambush Camps in Days Gone: How Do You Clear Them?

Ambush camps in Days Gone are basically encampments filled with enemies. They are marked on your map in-game, accessed by hitting the PS4 or PS5’s touchpad. The main objective of ambush camps is to clear them off all enemies and find the secret bunker where Deacon will be able to restock on equipment, find a map that will reveal highlight some important locations, and in some cases learn new crafting recipes.

Clearing ambush camps will earn you some experience to aid in levelling up, and each camp contributes to the Ambush Camp Hunter storyline and the Ambush Camp Hunter trophy.
