Days Gone I’ll Save Some For You Walkthrough

I’ll Save Some For You is a Main Story Mission in Days Gone. This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the “I’ll Save Some For You” Main Quest and to clear out the mandatory Sawmill Horde.

I’ll Save Some For You Starting Location

This mission starts at the  Sawmill, south-east of the Lost Lake Compound. This is the largest Horde you will encounter, at about 500 Freakers. Make sure you are fully stocked up with throwables, crafting-ingredients and ammo, before heading in. Generally, it is a good idea to play the mission while it is day-time, so you have a better view.

Clear the Horde at the Old Sawmill

Depending on your playstyle, you might want to plant some traps on your “escape-route”. It is no shame if you run away for a bit to catch your breath and let the remaining freaks regroup, so you can fully launch your next wave.

The Horde will very likely be feasting in the pit next to the mill. If you have some focus-cocktails on you, consume one and throw all sorts of goods into the pit. Attractor-Bombs and Napalm Molotows are always a good idea.

The Horde will now run towards you and you should move backwards along the train tracks into the tunnel, while blasting your Machine Guns of your choice. Every now and then you will make to a dodge-roll and run a bit further away.

The tunnel is a very neat way to control the way of Freakers, as they cannot swarm you from multiple sides. Make use of the tight space by throwing in whatever you have in your inventory and walk backwards while shooting.

If you are a bit too far away from the Horde, they will retreat. Either catch your breath, reload and craft or continue by making yourself noticeable again.

A good vantage point – also for your very first attack – is the top of the train on the tracks. The freaks need to run past the carriage and have to climb it from the backside (as do you), giving you some extra seconds to give them hell.

If the first freaks make it on the train, roll off and head back into the tunnel to thin them out further/completely.

Fill the Truck with Creosote

Once the Horde is down, Deek will show Boozer where to drive the truck.

This concludes the I’ll Save Some For You Story Mission in Days Gone.
