What happensSpoilerShow
Boozer insists on planting the explosives himself, so you watch his back through a scope. Rippers swarm him and he barely gets clear before the charges go off. The blast takes out the dam and the flood wipes out much of the Ripper compound below. The two of you celebrate for a moment, then go quiet at what you just did.
Objectives
1. Reach the sniper tower. 2. Protect Boozer from the Rippers. 3. Drive to the Ripper compound.
Tips
Prioritise Rippers closest to Boozer and reload between waves. The SSR hits hard, so body shots are often enough at this range.
BoozerBoozer is Deacon's best friend and riding partner, and a former Sergeant-at-Arms of the Mongrels MC. He rides with you from the first mission as the two hunt bounties in the Cascades. What happens to him in the opening hours drives much of the first half of the story.
Deacon St. JohnDeacon St. John is the player character: a former soldier and Mongrels MC enforcer who now works as a drifter and bounty hunter in post-outbreak Oregon. You play as him from the opening hunt for Leon. He still grieves his wife Sarah, whom he believes died early in the outbreak.
