Days Gone Remastered: Horde Assault Game Mode (Levels, Reputation, Rewards)

Days Gone Remastered is the ultimate way to play Days Gone; it keeps all of the content included in the original version of the game, as well as the free DLC that was released later on. On top of this, it features a graphical enhancement and a few game modes that had never been seen before: Speedrun, Permadeath, and Horde Assault. The first two are story game modes that add a twist to the standard main campaign mode, and the latter is a fleshed-out arcade-like game mode with levels and rewards to unlock.

This guide will tell players what they need to know about the Horde Assault game mode in Days Gone Remastered. Here, players can understand how to level up, increase their reputation, and gain access to all the maps and rewards available.

What Is the Horde Assault Game Mode in Days Gone Remastered?

Days Gone Remastered introduced players to the Horde Assault game mode, which is an arcade-like horde-fighting game. When first players start Horde Assault, they will have to take down small groups of Freakers as they attempt to reach their bike. Then, they will have limited time to loot and find supplies before the next horde comes.

Horde size will gradually increase, and sooner or later, gamers will undoubtedly run out of supplies, which is why they must continue to look for useful items nearby and even search nearby areas for Supply Boxes - these are marked on their map so gamers always have an objective to reach.

On top of this, there are also side jobs marked on the top left corner of the screen that grant players ammo and materials that will help them take down the oncoming Freakers. These will update every few minutes, so if gamers run out of supply, they can wait for a favorable side job to appear and replenish their resources once it's completed.

Additionally, gamers can select injectors at the start of their run that will either hinder their run or give them an advantage. However, this will either positively or negatively affect their final score.

Days Gone Remastered Horde Assault Maps

There are four regional maps in Days Gone Remastered Horde Assault. Players will get access to the Cascade map first, and in order to unlock the next map, they'll have to reach the regional target score. Then, they must continue to follow this logic until they've unlocked the four available maps.

Once players reach the target score in the Crater Lake region, they'll increase their reputation and gain access to the next phase of Horde Assault. The maps will become locked once again, and gamers will have to hit the new and higher target scores to unlock them all over again and reach the next reputation level.

Days Gone Remastered Horde Assault Level Rewards

As gamers earn XP and level in Days Gone Remastered's Horde Assault game mode, they'll unlock rewards. These rewards will vary between injectors, patches, and character skins.

Patches are applied to Deacon's cut and can be used to improve players' stats across all game modes. Players can edit patches in the Challenges menu, accessible from the title screen. Character skins are purely cosmetic and can be used in Challenge mode or Horde Assault. Lastly, injectors are exclusive to Horde Assault and can be used to modify the player's run, either having a negative or positive effect on the player's final score.

How to Increase Level in Days Gone Horde Assault

Each time complete a run in Horde Assault, they'll receive XP based on their final score. Experience points are then converted into levels, allowing players to receive rewards as they increase their level.

To level up in Days Gone Assault Horde, players need to get a good score after completing a run in any region. Gamers can get better results by testing different injectors and retrying their favorite Horde Assault maps.

Days Gone Remastered Horde Assault Reputation Rewards

Players can increase their reputation in Horde Assault up to Phase 3, and they will receive rewards for each phase that they reach.

How to Increase Reputation in Days Gone Horde Assault

To increase players' Reputation Phase in Days Gone Remastered, they must get through every Horde Assault map and reach the final target score at Crater Lake. Once they've finished the final map, their Reputation Phase will go up by one, and they will be able to re-do all of the maps with a larger horde and a higher target score.
