Days Gone Mission List: How Far Are You Into The Game?

Bend Studios’ Days Gone is a long game which follows nomad Deacon St. John as he battles hordes of Freakers while searching for his long lost wife. If you’re playing a game, it’s worth taking a look at our Days Gone mission list to ensure you don’t miss anything.

Days Gone: Storylines and Missions

Days Gone is split into 15 different storylines, all of which are comprised of different missions. These missions can be found in your journal which details the mission’s objective, a short description which offers more information on said mission and storyline, and your overall completion percentage of the storyline the mission is part of. You may even find that some missions are marked as several different storylines, meaning that they progress each of the storylines.

When you complete a mission, you’ll be rewarded Trust Points and Credits with one camp, as well as XP which is used to level Deacon up and acquire new abilities.

Completing missions unlocks new missions and even unlocks new storylines, which is why it’s important to complete as many missions as possible – and that includes side missions. If you don’t have any missions in your journal, you’ll need to drive around Oregon until someone calls you on the radio and triggers a new mission – this is usually done outside of camps.

How Many Missions Are In Days Gone?

In total, there are 158 missions in Days Gone, including optional or side missions. All of the missions in the game are of varying length, with some being incredibly short and others being somewhat longer.

It’s important to point out that you will need to complete all of the missions in the game to complete all storylines within the game and unlock the game’s platinum trophy.

Days Gone: Can You Miss Missions?

Yes. There are several missions that you can miss while playing through Days Gone, but none of these missions contribute towards your game’s 100% completion. In fact, most of the missions you can miss are those which involve Deacon visiting Sarah’s grave since they tend to be based around important story beats, and progressing the game’s story will override each of Deacon’s reflections with Sarah.

This means you can miss out or skip the missions involving Sarah’s grave and continue with the main storyline. In addition, you can also skip out on some of Colonel Garret’s speeches towards the end of the game, but again these do not contribute to your game’s completion percentage.

Now you know how missions and storylines work in Days Gone, it’s time to take a look at a complete list of all the missions in the game. Take a look at them below.

Complete List Of All Days Gone Missions

Cascade & Belknap

The missions listed here span from the beginning of the game through to the end of the first act, where Deacon travels south to Lost Lake camp. Most of the missions here cover the basic aspects of the game including how to turn on generators at NERO facilities, how to craft Molotov Cocktails and bandages, visiting the first two encampments, and purchasing items at shops.

The missions listed here take place across the Lost Lake region of the map. You cannot travel back to the Cascade and Belknap regions. This, along with the Crater Lake section of the map, is very long but sees you learning new crafting recipes and meeting the Lost Lake camp, one of the best in the entire game.

Crater Lake

The missions are located around the Crater Lake region of the map which features encampments Crater Lake and Wizard Island. The missions here involve taking on your first horde of zombies and learning the Napalm Molotov. When you reach this section of the game, you’ll be temporarily locked out of the northern regions of the map.

Days Gone Mission List For The Secret Ending

After you’ve rescued Sarah and have taken down Colonel Mathew Garret and the Deschutes County Militia, you’ll be given a few extra missions to tidy up loose ends. These missions can be slightly annoying to trigger as you’ll need to be out of the encampments and must wait to get called on your walkie-talkie. The game will end with a “secret ending” featuring O’Brien, a mission which seemingly teases a sequel…
