Part of

Horde KillerHorde Killer is the storyline for wiping out every Freaker Horde in Oregon. It mixes a few story missions with the open-world Hordes you find yourself, from small cave groups in the north to the huge swarms in the south.

Per the wiki, it only becomes clearable after you take Boozer on the last NERO mission.

How to approach it

This many Swarmers will flatten you in the open, so plan a route before you shoot. Bring Molotovs or napalm, pipe bombs, proximity mines and a high-capacity gun like an LMG. Lay mines along your retreat line and keep backing up while you fire.

Day and night

Hordes bed down somewhere dark during the day and move out at night to feed and drink. Scout the area in daylight while it sleeps, then pick when to start the fight. If you only need to pass through, give its route a wide berth after dark.

If it goes wrong

You can ride off, restock and come back. The kill count holds for a while, but stray Swarmers top the Horde back up if you wait too long. Keep your bike fuelled and parked on your exit route, not in the Horde's path.

Deacon's journalSpoilerShow

Iron Mike always complained that this Horde stopped Lost Lake from growing the farm. That grumbling is what gave Deacon the idea of sealing the caves.
