A few weeks back Bend Studios announced it would be releasing a new challenge mode for Days Gone, with each a new challenge appearing for players to tackle. These challenges will unlock over the course of the next 11 weeks, and the first one is ‘Surrounded’. Bend Studios revealed details of ‘Surrounded’ a while ago and the gist of it is that there is an infinite horde of Freakers and players have to survive for as long as possible against them.
There are some additional fixes and changes as well including coming back from flashback missions with the correct ammo amount and melee weapon, as well as the Horde being able to vault through the windows properly to come and get you. You can read the full patch notes below. By the way update 1.21 clocks in at over 18GB so you may want to put aside some time for it.
