Iron Butte horde...

That was hard and still have the sawmill one to do as well.

Checked on-line to see how large the horde was and the info I found said 150.

I know I picked up some stragglers along the way from running away from the main horde but I ended up with 460 ears...

Story hordes like at iron butte, the sawmill, or near highway 97 tend to be 400 to 600 freakers.
The non story hordes just have about 100 - 200 freakers in them.

But all story hordes have a lot of barrels and other explosive stuff near them, or you can block ways by passing thru narrow doors, or blocking them by throwing stuff in the way...


i bet they wanted to give you the feeling / gameplay they've shown at E32016...
and make it actionpacked and so on.

Starting to figure out the numbers.

And yeah, won't manage a horde like that - I just end up panicking and running...

Don't worry.
As someone said before, and I remembered until now: When you start Days Gone, even the sight of a horde will make you break a sweat, run and cower for your life. But at some point, they will no longer even phase you.

I've reached that point a while ago. The story hordes really force you to adapt quickly, and they do it well. So I'd say savour the fear while you can
