On this map to Days Gone you will see Cascade - the first area in the game. This map contains all hidden side activities: NERO Checkpoints and Research Sites, Infestations, Ambush Camps and Horde locations.
NERO Checkpoint (4)
Checkpoint marked with no. 4 on the map is the first post that you come across. It is marked on the map as a side job. This is not the easiest Checkpoint - it's protected by a Horde, which has a nest on the train and is not willing to leave it.
- To get to this site, throw canister over the fence, which you will find on the locomotive.
- Push the car on the slope to the building to climb it.
- Refuel the generator and start it - but remember to destory all megaphones on the building and in the vicinity beforehand.
You may kill the horde in an easy way by sneaking to the trailer cars and then by throwing grenades and Molotov cocktails at them (or inside the trailer cars). Then run and blow up barrels and other explosive items; at the end of the road is, however, it's woth to have a prepared motorcycle - in case of quick retreat and failure. If you do not retreat too far, the Horde will be reduced by the number of opponents you have already defeated.
Ambush Camp (1)
For this camp (marked point 1) it is worth to travel in the beginning stages of the game. It is best to get there from the northern side, through the secret passage (near point 10).
On the west side, on the hills, you will find a sniper. This is one of the first ones you will encounter in the game - after eliminating him, you can easily pick up his weapon and use it until you turn it into another (you can also purchase ammunition for it in the camp).
The entrance to the bunker can be missed easily - its under the high voltage pillar.
NERO Research Point (8)
NERO Research Point (8) can be found south of the Copeland camp. It's the first point you need to reach by using a motorcycle. It is necessary to install nitro in advance, because the jump is difficult to perform, and failure can result in damage to the vehicle, or even death. On the spot you will find some crafting materials, a box with Injector and a recording (secret).
