Days Gone was always going to be a game that valued detail over anything else. When its original teaser trailers and gameplay vertical slices flooded the internet, fans and critics took note of how mud tracks were left by the bikes, how the zombies (or Freakers, as this game calls them) crawled over one another to get to Deacon, and even how the weather affected enemy patterns and deployments.

And Deacon himself is no stranger to loving details being thrown his way, as the fanbase took note of how his eyes actually dilate under different levels of brightness. It's an insanely small detail but one that makes him feel much more human.

Yet he's not the only living soul in this new world, as The Rippers, a gang who believe becoming infected is the next stage of human evolution, also share the space with him and will violently attack Deacon on sight. Well that is unless you're already battling with a Freaker, in which case the Ripper will drop to their knees as a sacrifice to their deity allowing you to escape and witness a brilliant bit of lore-keeping within the game.
