Days Gone Player Sees Crazy Zombie Interaction After 750 Hours

by

A player of the game *Days Gone* witnessed a very unusual event: a Freaker enemy being struck by lightning. While this rare occurrence caught the attention of other players, they were even more impressed by the story behind it. *Days Gone* has a realistic weather system that impacts how you play, and although weather changes are frequent, seeing an enemy get hit by lightning is incredibly uncommon.

From the start, the developers at Bend Studio wanted to create a truly immersive world in *Days Gone*. To achieve this, they filled the game with unexpected events and subtle details about life before the apocalypse in Oregon. They also used dynamic weather to make the world feel alive and to constantly challenge players – and even the game’s creatures, the Freakers.

Days Gone Freaker Gets Hit By a Lightning Bolt

A player recently shared on Twitter that after 750 hours of gameplay, they witnessed a zombie being struck by lightning in *Days Gone*. While this isn’t a new discovery – fans noticed it shortly after the game launched in 2019 – it’s a very rare event. Many players have tried to make it happen themselves, but haven’t been able to.

Many fans were more amazed to hear the player supposedly spent 750 hours playing the single-player game *Days Gone*. One person commented they completed everything in the game and earned all achievements in less than 100 hours, and were surprised by the longer playtime. Some playfully suggested the rare in-game encounter was a reward for such dedication. According to How Long to Beat, completing everything in *Days Gone* typically takes between 70 and 100 hours. It’s important to note the original poster hasn’t shown proof of 750 hours of gameplay, so the claim might just be for attention.

Okay, so I’ve been trying to find this lightning-cursed Freaker, and it’s super rare! From what I can tell, there’s no way to *make* it appear. It seems to be totally random, but a lot of people have filmed it happening near this one cliff. The big thing is, it *has* to be raining for it to show up, that much I know for sure!

Players of *Days Gone* have discovered that the game is full of hidden details beyond just its zombie enemies. For instance, there’s a subtle connection to the *Syphon Filter* series. As more people revisit the game with the remastered version, even more of these secrets are likely to be uncovered.
