Days Gone Remastered: Infestation Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Infestations in Days Gone Remastered are the 12 standard Freaker infestation zones spread across Oregon's northern regions — each one a cluster of Freaker Nests that must be fully burned to clear the zone, unlock fast travel through that area, and earn Trust, Credits, and XP from the nearest Encampment.

This guide tracks the 12 zone-level locations that form the bulk of the Infestation Exterminator storyline. All of them are included on Map Master's Days Gone Remastered Oregon map.

Infestation Exterminator: A Two-Part Storyline

Infestation Exterminator (Bronze) — the storyline tracks two distinct infestation types:

• Part 1 — Standard Infestation Zones (92%): The 12 zones in this guide, each containing multiple Freaker Nests across buildings, vehicles, and caves. Clearing all 12 brings the storyline to 92%.

• Part 2 — Crier Nests (final 8%): The 18 Crier Nest locations in Highway 97 and Crater Lake — the southernmost regions, only encountered late in the campaign — complete the storyline. These are tracked separately in their own guide.

The Practical Benefit: Fast Travel

Every cleared Infestation zone permanently unlocks fast travel through that road corridor.

Marion Forks is the highest-priority early clear — burning its nests opens the fast travel path between northern Cascade and Belknap, saving significant riding time for the rest of the campaign.

Crazy Willie's on the Cascade/Belknap border similarly opens the key central route.

Rewards Per Zone

Each cleared zone rewards Trust Points with the nearest camp alongside Credits and XP — the Trust flowing to the regionally appropriate Encampment:

• Pioneer Cemetery → 1,500 XP, 800 Copeland's Camp Trust, 550 Credits
• Logging Camp (High Desert Logging Co.) → Copeland's Camp Trust
• Crazy Willie's → 1,500 XP, 750 Hot Springs Trust, 1,200 Credits

• Patjens Lakes → 1,500 XP, 750 Hot Springs Trust, 1,200 Credits
• Sherman's Camp → 2,000 XP, 350 Iron Mike's Camp Trust, 1,900 Credits
• Berley Lake → Iron Mike's Camp Trust (full rewards in table)
• Rogue Camp → Iron Mike's Camp Trust (full rewards in table)
• Rimview Ranch, Chemult College, Cascade Lakes Rail Line, Tumblebug River → Diamond Lake / Wizard Island Trust

Welcome to the Party, Pal: The Regional Sweep Trophy

"Welcome to the Party, Pal" (Bronze) — clear all Ambush Camps, Infestation zones, and NERO Checkpoints within a single region.

This trophy unlocks automatically if pursuing all three activities across all regions — no single-region speedrun is required.

The Belknap region is the most common single-region target since it has a manageable combination of camps, infestations, and checkpoints relative to its geographic size.
