Days Gone: How To Unlock Every Bonus Weapon & Recipe | Secret Guns Guide

/ Features / , , /

It takes a long time, but you’ll eventually build up a massive arsenal of unique weapons in Days Gone. Most of the best weapons are waiting for you late in the game, and you’ll get some awesome tools of destruction for completing sidequests. The best optional weapons are drum-barrel equipped auto shotguns, silenced assault rifles, and shotgun revolvers — they’re all pretty special, so we’re listed literally everything that you can unlock in the game below.

Most of the recipes you’ll unlock naturally just for completing the singleplayer story. We’ve listed those too, just to complete the list. Just know that you really won’t miss out on those weapons in the end-game. The real optional weapons and recipes are unlocked by completing two specific quests — clearing Ambush Camps, or wiping out hordes.

Defeating hordes is tough. They’ll appear all over the map as you progress in the story, and very early in the game, dealing with hordes can feel impossible. It can be done with the right tools, but it might be safer to wait until the end-game before going hunting.
