Step into the boots of Deacon St. John, a former outlaw biker turned drifter, as you navigate the harsh wilderness of post-apocalyptic Oregon two years after a devastating global pandemic transformed millions into vicious creatures called Freakers.
A World That Fights Back
The Pacific Northwest has never been more beautiful or more deadly. From forests and meadows, to snowy plains and desert lava fields, the Pacific Northwest is both beautiful and lethal. Explore diverse landscapes ranging from lush pine forests and cascading waterfalls to snow-covered mountains and desert lava fields, each scarred by millions of years of volcanic activity. This isn't just scenery—it's a dynamic environment that responds to your presence. Weather patterns shift dramatically, creating unexpected dangers, while the day/night cycle fundamentally changes how Freakers behave, making them more aggressive and numerous after dark.
Your Drifter Bike: More Than Transportation
Your motorcycle isn't just a vehicle—it's your lifeline, mobile storage, and closest companion in this unforgiving world. The bike consumes fuel and becomes disabled if excessively damaged. Players must regularly refuel the bike at gas stations and camps, and repair it using collected scraps. Customize its appearance and upgrade critical components to enhance speed, durability, and maneuverability. From adding mufflers for stealth operations to reinforcing the frame for rough terrain, every modification serves a tactical purpose in your fight for survival.
Face the Horde
- Massive Freaker Hordes
- Experience the terror of facing hundreds of infected creatures simultaneously in some of gaming's most intense encounters. These aren't scripted events—hordes move dynamically across the landscape, creating unpredictable challenges that require quick thinking and strategic use of the environment.
- Tactical Combat Options
- Master a diverse arsenal including firearms, melee weapons, explosives, and improvised traps. Craft Molotov cocktails, remote bombs, and other survival tools from scavenged materials. Use stealth to avoid unnecessary confrontations or go loud when the situation demands overwhelming firepower.
Survival Through Community
Build trust with various survivor camps scattered across Oregon by completing missions, delivering bounties, and trading valuable resources. As the level of trust increases, players can purchase new weapons, supplies and motorcycle parts. Each camp offers unique opportunities, from Tucker's militaristic compound focused on clearing infestations to Iron Mike's more humanitarian approach at Lost Lake. Your relationships with these communities directly impact your access to better equipment and story developments.
A Story of Redemption
Follow Deacon's emotional journey as he searches for his wife Sarah, believed dead since the outbreak began. This deeply personal quest weaves through multiple interconnected storylines, exploring themes of loss, hope, and what it means to be human when civilization has collapsed.
