Master every Days Gone Remastered trophy with expert strategies, efficiency tips, and a complete 46-trophy breakdown.
Days Gone Remastered Arrives: What’s New & Trophy Overview

Mark your calendars, survivors. Days Gone Remastered officially rides onto PlayStation 5 consoles on April 25, 2025. This isn’t a simple port; expect refined visuals leveraging the PS5’s hardware, likely including faster load times, higher resolution textures, and more stable frame rates for confronting massive hordes. The core narrative of Deacon St. John’s journey through a post-pandemic Pacific Northwest remains intact, but the technical polish aims to enhance the immersion significantly.
The trophy list, a crucial component for completionists, carries over from the original but gains new prominence with the re-release. All 46 trophies are present, spanning the standard hierarchy: 1 Platinum, 3 Gold, 10 Silver, and 32 Bronze awards. These accolades are designed to track every facet of your journey, from main story milestones and combat prowess to deep exploration and economic management within the game’s encampment system. Understanding their categories is the first step to efficient hunting.
Complete Trophy List: Descriptions & Pro-Tips
Below is the exhaustive list of trophies for Days Gone Remastered. Each entry includes the official description followed by a Pro-Tip to streamline your unlock process or clarify a potentially confusing requirement.
Story & Progression Trophies
These trophies guide you through the primary narrative and major side stories.
- Days Done: Complete the story of Days Gone. Pro-Tip: This is your main goal; most other trophies can be earned during or after this playthrough.
- World’s End: Complete the World’s End storyline. Pro-Tip: This is a major side narrative involving the militia. Focus on it when you reach the southern regions.
- One More Ride: Complete the story in New Game+. Pro-Tip: Carry over all skills and gear to make this second run much faster.
- Survival is Living: Complete the story in Survival Mode. Pro-Tip: Survival Mode removes the HUD and fast travel. Plan routes carefully and scavenge relentlessly.
- 2 Days 2 Done: Complete the story on Hard II or Survival II in New Game+. Pro-Tip: Consider this the “true” hardest difficulty challenge. Mastery of combat and resources is essential.
- Lost & Damned: Reach the Founder Rank. Pro-Tip: Founder Rank is tied to the game’s Challenge Mode. It requires consistent high scores across multiple challenges.
- Marauder Camp Hunter / Ambush Camp Hunter / Infestation Exterminator: Complete each respective storyline. Pro-Tip: These are progressive; clear all camps/infestations in one region for “Welcome to the Party, Pal.”
- The Ends and the Means: Discover what happened to NERO. Pro-Tip: Follow all NERO research sites and audio logs closely.
Combat & Skill Mastery Trophies
These reward proficiency in the game’s brutal combat systems and character development.
- One Down: Defeat your first Horde. Pro-Tip: The Death Train Horde near the early-game train cars is a manageable first target. Use environmental explosives.
- This is a Knife: Kill a Breaker, Reacher, or Rager with a knife. Pro-Tip: Use stealth and focus on a single, isolated Special enemy. A stealth kill from behind is safest.
- Variety is the Spice of Life: Kill an enemy with every type of crossbow bolt. Pro-Tip: Craft or purchase all bolt types (Standard, Residue, Poison, Incendiary) and use them on basic Swarmers.
- Performance Enhanced / Better Living through Chemistry: Max out / Upgrade Health, Stamina, or Focus. Pro-Tip: NERO injectors are found at checkpoints. Prioritize Stamina early for escaping hordes, then Focus for easier headshots.
- Mr. Fahrenheit / There’s No Stopping Me / I’m Out of Control / Don’t Stop Me Now: Unlock 45/30/15/1 skills. Pro-Tip: Earn credits by completing camp jobs and bounties. Focus on combat skills like “Hard Hitter” and survival skills like “Efficient Machines” first.
- Ghost of Farewell: Get 100 stealth kills. Pro-Tip: Use suppressed weapons and tall grass. Ambush camps are perfect farming spots.
- Old Reliable: Kill 200 enemies with a Crafted Weapon. Pro-Tip: The crafted Crossbow and its bolts count. Make this your primary silent weapon to progress naturally.
- Logan’s Shadow: Kill an enemy with every ammo type from a mysterious New Game+ weapon. Pro-Tip: This refers to a special weapon unlocked in New Game+. Experiment with its different firing modes on weak enemies.
Exploration & Collection Trophies
These encourage thorough exploration of the game world and its many secrets.
- The Broken Roadshow / Wannable Fortune Hunter / Finders Keepers: Unlock over 75% / 50% / first collectible. Pro-Tip: Collectibles include historical markers, tourist plaques, and NERO recordings. Use the map to mark their locations post-game.
- Go Kick Rocks: Knock down 12 Anarchist Cairns. Pro-Tip: These are stone piles often found on cliffsides or near roads. Listen for a distinct rattling sound when nearby.
- You’ve Got Red on You: Collect 541 items from corpses. Pro-Tip: This will happen automatically through normal looting. No need to farm specifically.
- Lend Me Your Ears: Collect 989 Freaker Ears. Pro-Tip: Melee kills and environmental kills often don’t yield ears. Use guns or the Crossbow to ensure you collect them, especially from hordes.
- Farewell Drift: Accumulate 10 minutes of drifting. Pro-Tip: Find a large, open paved area. Hold the nitro and turn sharply; the timer accumulates across your entire playthrough.
- Burnout Apocalypse: Use nitro and drift simultaneously for 5 seconds. Pro-Tip: Same method as above, but you need a long, straight stretch of road to maintain the combo.
Challenge Mode & Endgame Trophies
These test your mastery in specific scenarios and post-game content.
- Gold Team Rules / Golden Boy / Second (the) Best / Participation Award: Earn Gold in all / first Gold / first Silver / first Bronze Challenge Medals. Pro-Tip: Challenges are separate, scored modes. Watch online guides for optimal routes and strategies on each.
- I Make This Look Good: Earn a Gold Medal with a Character Skin and Custom Accent equipped. Pro-Tip: Simply ensure you’ve equipped both cosmetic items from the Challenge menu before starting your run.
- You Done Good, Kid: Earn a Medal in all Sub-Challenges. Pro-Tip: Sub-Challenges are the optional objectives within each main Challenge. Some require very specific actions; consult community resources.
- Days Gone in 60 Seconds: Defeat a Horde in under 1 minute in Survival Mode. Pro-Tip: Use the O’Leary Mountain Horde (small). Pre-place proximity mines and attractors near their cave, then trigger the horde and unleash heavy weapons.
- Gotta Patch ‘Em All: Unlock all Patches. Pro-Tip: Patches are earned through Challenge Mode scores. This requires high performance across the entire Challenge roster.
- Worthy: Fully upgrade any Ring. Pro-Tip: Rings are upgraded in Challenge Mode with rings earned from high scores. Focus on mastering one challenge to upgrade its associated ring first.
Advanced Trophy Hunting Strategies
Securing the Platinum trophy “One Percenter” is a marathon, not a sprint. A strategic approach can save you countless hours and frustration.
Efficiency Roadmap for Platinum
Follow this phased plan to minimize backtracking:
- First Playthrough (Focus: Story & Foundation): Play on a standard difficulty. Prioritize main missions while clearing all Ambush Camps, Infestations, and NERO Checkpoints in each region as you unlock them (for “Welcome to the Party, Pal”). Work on earning Trust with at least three camps to “Allied” status. This establishes fast travel points and unlocks better gear.
- Post-Game Cleanup (Focus: Collections & Grinds): After the story, use your unlocked fast travel to mop up collectibles, finish off any remaining hordes, and complete grindy trophies like “Lend Me Your Ears” or “Ghost of Farewell.” This is the time to consult a full map for collectibles.
- New Game+ Run (Focus: Difficulty & Efficiency): Start New Game+ on Hard II or Survival II. Your carried-over skills and weapons will make this run swift. Complete it for “2 Days 2 Done” and “One More Ride.”
- Challenge Mode Dedication (Focus: Mastery): Dedicate time to the separate Challenge Mode. This is often the biggest hurdle. Learn one challenge at a time, aiming for Gold medals and completing Sub-Challenges.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Neglecting Bike Upgrades: Your bike is essential for escape and exploration. Invest in performance upgrades early. The “Farewell Original” trophy requires upgrades in all three categories.
- Ignoring Camp Trust:”Best Friends Forever (For Life)” requires Allied status with three camps. Don’t spread your credit donations and mission completions too thinly. Focus on 2-3 camps.
- Wasting Resources on Non-Essential Crafts: For “D.I.Y. Oregonian” (craft 50 items), craft cheap items like Molotovs or Health Cocktails repeatedly rather than expensive traps.
- Attempting Survival Mode Unprepared: Survival Mode removes the minimap and fast travel. Do not attempt it as a first playthrough. Familiarity with the world map is crucial.
Optimization for Survival Mode
Survival Mode trophies (“Survival is Living,” “Days Gone in 60 Seconds”) demand a different mindset.
- Map Knowledge is Power: Without a minimap, you must navigate by landmarks. Stick to roads initially and mentally note key locations like NERO checkpoints and encampments.
- Stealth is Your Default: Engaging every enemy wastes precious resources. Use stealth to bypass conflicts whenever possible.
- Plan Every Trip: Before leaving a safe zone, plan your route, know your objective, and ensure you have enough fuel and scrap for repairs. Getting stranded is often fatal.
- For “Days Gone in 60 Seconds”: As mentioned, choose a small, predictable horde. Pre-set the entire battlefield with remote bombs, proximity mines, and attractor bombs. Use a heavy machine gun or the Chicago Chopper for cleanup. Practice the run in a non-Survival save first.
