This Days Gone Challenge Involves Speeding Around in a Golf Cart
A new Days Gone challenge that went live on Friday has players taxiing survivors around the game world in a golf cart with unlimited boost. They’ll have to keep their passengers happy and run over the game’s vicious Freakers as they drive to each destination of all 36 passengers.
Titled the “Dead Don’t Ride” challenge, players will have a limited amount of time to drive all the passengers to their destinations. Factors such as how quickly you can get passengers to where they need to go, the amount of Freakers you run over, and the happiness of your passengers can impact your overall score.
A PlayStation Blog post about this challenge provided these helpful tips:
- Close Call: Park Close to X Survivors. When stopping to pick up your next fare, stop as close as possible to the waiting survivor. Stopping close not only contributes toward this sub-objective, but it also gives bonus points toward the overall challenge.
- 5 Star Driver: Drop Off X Happy Survivors. Once you have a survivor on board, pay attention to their satisfaction meter. You’ll get score and time bonuses for Happy and Neutral drop-offs. You’ll still get some points from Unhappy passengers, but no time bonus.
- Wild Speed: Drop off X Hard Survivors. Delivery difficulty is indicated by the color of the pick-up ring; yellow for easy, orange for medium, and red for hard. Difficulty is determined by distance to the drop-off destination, and in some cases by jumps or difficult navigation. In addition to advancing this sub-objective, longer deliveries award more points toward the overall score. Since the golf cart has infinite boost, make heavy use of it on long straightaways to achieve this sub-objective.
- Street Sweeper: Run Over X Swarmers. Don’t worry about alarming your passengers—running over freaks won’t hurt your delivery rating. Each Swarmer killed will add two seconds to the challenge clock. Try and line up your Swarmer kills along your delivery routes because going out of your way for these kills will work against the clock.
