Warning to everyone planning to play the DLC's Permadeath mode regarding a endgame mission.

[Bacon Saint John]

In the mission "What it takes to survive" you might spawn a unintendedly big horde compared to Playstation users, this affects the Steam, GOG, Epic games versions of Days Gone.

Playstation always spawns in 2x25 hordes.
Pc sometimes spawns in 300 and sometimes spawns in 2x25.

Please save your friends and make sure they know that:
IF you encounter this horde in the cave that is too big restart the checkpoint until you get the smaller horde size.
IF you want to challenge yourselves or to try if this affects you just try to restart the checkpoint until you reach the unintended horde size.
Also feel free to comment if this affects you.

If this gets fixed I will delete all my videos in regards to this.

interesting, i've never encountered this before. I think I usually clear the hordes in this mission area before doing this story mission. Sort of like that mission with Skizzo in the mines, I clear the horde by that mission area, and at the end of the mission when a horde is supposed to chase me, one freak drops down, i kill it, and boom horde cleared. Same thing with the sawmill mission.

Not saying this affects everyone, I just am putting up a warning for those that may be affected in the future as the dlc will attract new players.

this is a mission horde that cannot be done until you get to this point in the game, and we have tested it extensively on pc when the horde spawns and comes at you use survival vision if you see a massive amount restart the checkpoint and see how many you get, we get 300 then 50 by doing this over and over and if you leave the playable area it grows last time i played it i got 549.

i just played this misson like a few days ago.
The bug i encountered was. After i wiped the 300 zombie hoard. A second one spawn...

i should have clipped it but i just closed the game and tried the next day where a second hoard did not spawn
