In the shadowed forests of the Pacific Northwest, where the remnants of humanity cling to survival, the world of Days Gone is a relentless test of will. The air is heavy with the scent of pine and the ever-present threat of danger. As a newcomer, you stumble upon Copeland's Camp, a bastion amidst the chaos of the post-apocalyptic wilderness.

The camp is alive with the sounds of survival: traders haggle over scarce resources, mechanics resurrect battered bikes, and the rhythmic pounding of hammers against metal underscores the urgency of life here. Mark Copeland, the camp's steadfast leader, introduces you to a figure who embodies the resilience of this new world—Deacon Lee St. John, known to most as Deek. A drifter by necessity and a bounty hunter by trade, Deek carries the scars of profound loss and the unyielding heartache of a world gone mad.

Boozer, Deek's brother-in-arms, lies recuperating from a brutal clash with the savage Rippers. It's a stark reminder of the perils that lurk beyond the camp's fragile safety. Sensing an opportunity in your arrival, Copeland suggests a partnership with Deek. The promise of camp credits is tempting, but the real currency here is trust and survival. Deek's gaze, heavy with the sorrows of his past yet alight with an unquenchable fire, meets yours. He offers a nod, a silent agreement of sorts. “Alright,” he says, voice rough as the terrain, “let’s ride out at dawn. You keep up, you earn your keep. That’s the deal.”
