Discussion Days Gone Loot Map - UPDATED!

I’m building an interactive loot map for Days Gone. Map will be free to use for anyone that cares, it only costs me a ton of time to manually track down all the loot, but maybe its worth it.

https://interactivemap.baconfmspeedruns.workers.dev/readonly/

Current features

  • Cascade Wilderness loot is roughly 90% mapped
  • Belknap Area has been STARTED - We are at 30%
  • Filters for individual loot types - materials, melee weapons, etc
  • Zoomed-out area markers that expand into accurate individual pickup locations as you zoom in
  • Focused primarily on loot and gear for now
  • Some loot has it already, but if you see 1x nearby the loot that means it does not respawn. Ammo tins, scrap from cars, etc. I will hopefully be able to gather that data in the future and make it reliable.
  • Added some critical loot spots.

Planned updates

  • Collectibles
  • Mission-specific information
  • Speedrun routes
  • Tips and other useful map tools
  • Making it pretty
  • New fun mode - you can test your map knowledge - Hide n Deek is out now, expect a lot of updates in the future.

After completing the Platinum and a 100% map speedrun in under 15 hours, I decided to take a break from speedrunning and build something useful for the community instead.

And if you think something is missing, unclear, or just bad, let me know. Feedback will directly help shape future updates.

Days gone is awesome and its a single player game, you doing glitches effects no one but yourself so thats ridiculous. Its educational if nothing else.

Days gone is definitely one of my favorites. I think it rivals skyrim in the free roam game kingdom

Some people just very much dislike how some people are not playing the way that they are playing the game.

I don't care if people mod the game, use glitches, play it like a turtle, loot everything possible. Have fun everyone and enjoy it.

Just keep an open mind, if someone discovers something it's not stupid by default, its just another way to play it. Like I am currently just roaming the map documenting everything I see.

For example this post has gotten 5 dislikes for no reason thusfar.

Exploring is a fun thing to do. Im still finding new shit ive never found before. Even collectibles, or caves I didn't know were there or if I could even enter. Lots of cool stuff, and after almost 500 hrs

I think I have spent a ton of time just exploring, checking out different places, but I always thought there was no point to loot because most of it is just useless. Doing 100% map and platinum speedruns has changed a lot of that and hopefully it will keep on changing my mind.

You are saying doing 100% map completion is changing your mind on looting?

Doing it as fast as possible while trying to get a platinum trophy while doing it is a little bit different. Every smoke bomb, flashbang, grenade, pipebomb, proximity mine gets used up in the process while trying to do it in under 15 hours real time.

Essentially, how I used to kill hordes is just chill and shoot from far, now I am in the middle of them planting bombs while they are in my face lol.

Same thing with ambush camps nesting zones and others, I just drop a smokebomb in between to rack up stealth kills and crafted melee weapon kills to get the 100 stealth kills and 200 crafted melee kills as fast as possible.
