how to get to nero research site across river

Days Gone All Nero Research Site Locations (Stat Upgrades)

April 25, 2019 by PowerPyx Leave a Comment

Days Gone has 18 Nero Research Sites. They give you Nero Injector stat upgrades to increase Health, Stamina and Focus. This guide shows all Days Gone Research Site Locations.

As an added bonus you’ll find one Nero Intel at each of these sites to help you get a higher completion rate.

The way you’d normally unlock the Research Sites on the map is to capture the Ambush Camps. This will give you at least on Nero Research Site on the map. Then listen to the Nero Intel from that Research Site and it will give you the next Research Location. Repeat for all other regions. Of course with this guide you can skip all that and head straight to the marked spot. When you get close to the Research Site it will get marked on the world map.

Most of them are either in Freaker Caves or require you to make long jumps with the motorcycle. Go to the caves at night (at day the Freakers sleep in there and would kill you). For the bike jumps you should first get a Nitrous Upgrade. If a jump is too far get better upgrades to increase your top speed.

None of these are missable! After the story there’s free-roam and you can go back to all regions and finish up any side activities and collectibles you have left. It’s worth noting that there are two temporary points of no return. One at the end of 3rd region “Lost Lake” and one more at the end of 5th region “Crater Lake”. This will lock you out of some regions until the end of the story. Then after the story the whole map opens up again.

Cascade Region

Nero Research Site #1: Found at the end of a dark cave. Go here at night. At day there will be Freakers inside.

Nero Research Site #2: Located underground, inside the cave where you eavesdropped on a Nero Scientist after the story mission in the graveyard. Go here at night because at day Freakers are hiding inside.

Nero Research Site #3: Found at the end of a bridge.

Nero Research Site #4: This requires you to use nitrous boost with your bike and jump over a cliff to a hill with a crashed helicopter. If your bike isn’t fast enough get all upgrades from the 3rd region Lost Lake.

Belknap Region

Nero Research Site #5: This one requires a bike jump with nitrous boost. Then you find the research site on top of a hill. If your bike isn’t fast enough get all upgrades from the 3rd region Lost Lake.

Nero Research Site #6: Found inside a Freaker Cave. Come here at night.

Lost Lake Region

Nero Research Site #7: Found just outside a cave.

Nero Research Site #8: This requires a bike jump to a cliff with a crashed helicopter. If your bike isn’t fast enough get all upgrades from the 3rd region Lost Lake.

Iron Butte Region

Nero Research Site #9: In the southern Iron Butte Ambush Camp you can bike jump across a cliff with nitrous boost to reach this reasearch site. If your bike isn’t fast enough get all upgrades from the 3rd region Lost Lake.

Crater Lake Region

Nero Research Site #10: Found inside mine. You will first enter this mine during a story mission in Crater Lake region, so if it’s not reachable yet you must advance the story further until you go there.

Nero Research Site #11: Found on top of a mountain.

Nero Research Site #12: Located at a cave entrance.

Nero Research Site #13: Found inside a house. You go to this house during one of the last few story mission “This Could Be It”.

Nero Research Site #14: Found on an island. Requires a very long bike jump across a cliff with nitrous. If your bike isn’t fast enough get the upgrades from the 4th camp called Diamond Lake.

Highway 97 Region

Nero Research Site #15: Found inside a cave.

Nero Research Site #16: Found inside a small cave.

Nero Research Site #17: Found on an island. Requires you to first bike jump to an island in the middle of the river and from there jump over to the 2nd island. If your bike is not yet fast enough get the upgrades from the 4th camp called Diamond Lake.

Nero Research Site #18: The final Nero Research is found under a bridge and is easy to get.

That’s all of the Nero Research Site Locations in Days Gone and how you can reach them. After you found all of these and the Nero Checkpoints you will have maxed out all 3 of your stats: Health, Stamina, Focus.

Days Gone Nero Research Site locations, Nero Checkpoint locations and Nero Injector locations explained

Where to find everything Nero-related - from Research Sites to Injector locations - in Days Gone.

Days Gone Nero Research Sites and Nero Checkpoints are one of many types of collectibles and places to visit. Even in the post apocalypse there are still things worth searching for, and these are probably the ones you want to find first.

These areas feature Nero Injectors , which upgrade your maximum Health, Stamina or Focus - making them well worth the time and effort in tracking down.

We explain Nero Checkpoint locations and other Nero Injector locations we've found, and also a few things to keep in mind if you don't want to be surprised by a swarm of Freakers.

Days Gone Nero Research Sites, Nero Checkpoints and Nero Injectors explained

Days gone nero research site locations, days gone nero checkpoint locations list.

Looking for more things to do? Our Days Gone Horde locations can help.

Found throughout Days Gone is the Nero Injector. This grants Deacon St. John the choice to upgrade either his maximum Health, Stamina, or Focus, the latter attached to an ability from the Ranged Combat skill tree, letting you slow down time while you're aiming.

There are 30 in total, and they are found in two types of locations - Nero Research Sites and Nero Checkpoints.

• Nero Research Sites can be found mostly inside of caves or around empty campsites, but some will require you to boost yourself with your bike.
• Nero Checkpoints are usually found in certain points of the map if you follow the main roads, and feature a locked facility that you'd absolutely want to crack open since, once inside, you'll find all sorts of resources (including Nero Recordings, which is another collectable).

What to do at Nero Research Sites

To access some Nero Research Sites, you're going to need at least the first level of the Nitrous upgrade, and whichever Acceleration upgrade is available for you in the closest mechanic.

These spots are usually given away by a crash site or a red beacon, and once discovered, they'll show up on your map. Keep in mind that they'll disappear once you use the Nero Injector and, unlike Checkpoints, they won't serve for fast travel.

What to do at Nero Checkpoints

There are two things you need to take care of to open Nero Checkpoints: Finding a gas tank for a generator and then powering it up. There will always be one nearby, but sometimes you're going to need to climb on a rooftop to get to the other side of a fence, for example.

These aren't too complicated to nail down, but be aware of the underage Newts crawling on rooftops. Which are always harmless unless you get too close or you happen to be low on health.

As for power, you'll need to find the switch, and sometimes there will be a fuse missing from the box. Yes, it's a hassle, but it's worth it. Along with the loot inside, you can access the weapons locker inside, make use of the bed inside to either save the game or rest, and use it as a fast travel waypoint.

How to turn off the speakers at Nero Checkpoints

If you're reckless unlocking the first Nero Checkpoint, you'll quickly find out that there are speakers connected to the generator. Once the power is back on, they'll automatically be turned on, blabbering an old recording as loudest as possible. This, of course, will track the attention of Freakers all around.

Right before you push that button, make sure to destroy them. You will want to climb and take them out one by one by cutting them off. Once more, beware of any Newts that may be laying around, along with holstering your gun so you don't make any sudden noises.

As well as Nero Injectors found at each individual Nero Checkpoint, you can also find Nero Injectors at various other locations out in the world.

Here's our list of Nero Research Sites:

Cascade - Nero Research Site location 1

Cascade - nero research site location 2, cascade - nero research site location 3, cascade - nero research site location 4, belknap - nero research site location 1, belknap - nero research site location 2, lost lake - nero research site location 1, lost lake - nero research site location 2, iron butte - nero research site location 1, crater lake - nero research site location 1, crater lake - nero research site location 2, crater lake - nero research site location 3, crater lake - nero research site location 4, crater lake - nero research site location 5, highway 97 - nero research site location 1, highway 97 - nero research site location 2, highway 97 - nero research site location 3, highway 97 - nero research site location 4.

There are several research sites in the Cascade region, and keep in mind that you'll need to have nitrous installed on your bike for some of them. The first can be found in the southern side of the map, close to the entrance to Lost Lake. You'll see it higher than where Deacon can reach by just jumping, so you're gonna have to go to the other side and boost your way following the road.

In the other side you'll find the crash site. Along with loot and a handy gas tank, you'll find a new Nero Injector, and the micro-recorder Flight Data Recording 2097.

Almost on the middle of the map, there's a place in the shape of a circle that is crossed in between by a road. Only a few steps away from it, you'll see a massive bridge where the train used to pass by.

If you follow this track right until the end, you'll come across a new site, which awaits you with loot, a Nero Injector, and the Black Box Recording 1001.

Placed in the far east side of the region, you'll come across the Pioneer Cemetery Infestation Nest (unless you were smart enough to have cleared it already), and you'll see a small cabin.

Follow it through down the path until the open field, and head towards the left side. You'll see a giant generator along with some supplies. Keep going until you're inside a cave.

Don't worry about enemies inside. Just keep sprinting until you get to the end to grab a Nero Injector and the Research Field Note 9791

This one is on the opposite side, right in the upper left corner of the region. Get close to the location on the map and you'll hear Deacon reading a sign: The White King Mine.

There will be a Horde inside, but that said, for us there were none - but be cautious all the same. Once you get to the end, you'll be able to obtain a new Nero Injector, along with the Research Field Note 1677.

You're gonna have to head all the way to the left side of the region. In the location marked in the map, you'll see a ramp that leads to another crashing site. Gain as much speed as possible, and use your nitrous when you're getting close to the edge to get to the other side safely. Also, watch out since there might be a pack of wolves roaming around.

Once you land, head to the right side and climb your way to the top. There's a Nero Injector, a bunch of loot, and the Flight Data Recording 2041.

North from the previous research site, you'll have to enter yet another cave. Sadly, this one isn't as friendly as the others.

To make things even worse, there's not one or two freakers, but an entire Horde waiting for Deacon. Make sure to grab the best weaponry available along with molotovs, and once you clear it, don't forget to grab the Nero Injector along with the Research Field Recording 1577.

As well as Nero Checkpoint locations, there's one Nero Injector that isn't part of them, and can be easily missed. While you're roaming through the south of the Lost Lake region, you'll come across a location that isn't very clear on the map, and can only be accessed by using going through a ramp with your bike.

It might seem like nitrous is mandatory here, but if you already upgraded the bike (or at least ramped up its speed) you should be good to go. Try to gain as much acceleration as possible from the road in the path, and then jump to the other side.

You will see a crash site with helicopters, and if you take the route to the right, a campfire will make itself visible. The place is empty, so don't worry about encountering any enemies here. Just loot everything there and follow the path until seeing yet another one of those suitcases, carrying an additional Nero Injector.

This one is really easy, and can be found on the upper right corner of the region. Make your way there and you'll notice a cave, along with a small hill on a side with that sweet, sweet white box holding a Nero Injector. Oh, and there's the Research Field Note 1960 too. Don't miss it.

On the left corner of the region, you'll have another one of those ramps to get through to another crash site. Make sure to zoom in to see exactly where the path begins, since you can easily end up in a massive Rippers' camp nearby.

You'll find a Nero Injector on top of a hill, and if you loot the body on the yellow suit, it will give you the Nero Site Order - TS-03-900SQM. And that's all for Iron Butte.

As long as research sites scattered throughout the map, some Nero Injectors can be found following main stories. This particular one will take you inside a cave filled with Runners, but just before entering to their den, you'll see a Nero Injector on the left side.

You'll get this by just following the main story, but if you missed it the first time around, head towards the location shown in the map and look for cabins right before entering the mine.

You're gonna want to take the right side and enter there, which will lead you exactly to the Nero Injector and the Researcher Field Note - 2072. In case you just take another path, just look for a red flare before an exit, although it's likely that Deacon will make a comment about finding a Nero beacon.

Close to the previous site, you'll come across an upside path that starts with a few bodies littered in the ground.

From there, keep heading up either with your bike or on foot, and you'll see a cave. Ignore it completely and keep heading straight until finding a campsite. In here, you'll see a new Nero Injector, along with the Researcher Field Note - 1833.

This one is at the south of the island. Head outside using the main path from there, and head west to the houses shown in the map. Enter the big one, and you'll find a Nero Injector along with the Researcher Field Note - 2069. Just beware of the Newts on the rooftop, in case you're low on health.

Surprise: There's another jump waiting for you, this time to a small island on the east side of the main encampment. First, head down to the shore and look for a small ramp.

Boost yourself onto the small island and look for the way up. Along with loot from bodies, you'll find another Nero Injector, and the Flight Data Recording - 1787 can be picked up from the chopper.

Luckily, this one is pretty straightforward. Head to the marked location and enter inside the cave.

There aren't any surprises, so just keep walking and pick up both the Nero Injector and the Field Recording - 2011.

Another cave! Head to the marked location and look for the blue graffiti on the wall. Go inside towards the left side. There's another Nero Injector, along with the Researcher Field Note - 2020. We're getting closer to the end of the list.

For a change of pace, getting to this research site will require you do jump not one, but twice using your bike. Head to the mark location and, as usual, look for a ramp-like structure on the ground. Boost yourself to the shore of the first island, and without getting off from your bike, head towards the next one with another jump.

Once you managed to arrive to destination without Deacon losing his bike in the water, head towards the crash site for a new Nero Injector, and loot the body nearby for the Flight Data Recorder - 1377.

This is the end of the road as we know it. Head towards the southern side of the Highway 97 region until you cross paths with a broken bridge. Your instinct will be to jump using the ramp, but instead, leave your bike and towards it. Both the last Nero Injector and the Researcher Field Note - 1005 are hiding underneath the bridge. Congrats!

What follows is a complete list of Nero Checkpoint locations - 12 in total - each with a Nero Injector location to find at each one.

Cascade - Horse Lake Nero Checkpoint location

Cascade - little bear lake nero checkpoint location, cascade - old pioneer cemetery nero checkpoint location, belknap - marion forks tunnel nero checkpoint location, belknap - iron butte pass nero checkpoint location, lost lake - santiam tunnel nero checkpoint location, lost lake - old sawmill nero checkpoint location, iron butte - rogue tunnel nero checkpoint location, crater lake - spruce lake nero checkpoint location, crater lake - volcanic legacy scenic byway nero checkpoint location, highway 97 - chemult community college nero checkpoint location, highway 97 - pilette bridge nero checkpoint location.

From the O'Leary Mountain Safehouse, head north using the path on the right or by just traversing through the forest. You'll see the Horse Lake Nero Checkpoint.

This one isn't hard at first glance, the gas tank is right when the train starts and there are a few speakers on top of the bunker. But you want to say out of the train as much as possible, since there is a Horde inside.

If you drive to the northwest from Copeland's Camp, you'll find the Little Bear Lake Nero Checkpoint.

There's a good chance that you'll go through this one often during missions, so don't worry about missing it. The gas tank is in a tow truck on the road, and there are speakers in the rooftop and in a smaller cabin underneath the bridge as well.

In the far northeast of the the Cascade region, you'll find the Old Pioneer Cemetery. Keep following the road and it will lead you to the third and final Nero Checkpoint in here. It's pretty straightforward, but it has a few things to keep in mind.

Once you arrive, you'll want to take care of the first speaker you come across. It's on the cabin in the middle of the road. Then, move to the giant tree on the right side, and take the gas tank that is right behind it.

Go back to the tend and move all across until the backyard. Beware, since (at least during the day) there's a group of enemies on the other side. But, there's a conveniently placed gas tank on their side, so just shoot and it will take most of them.

Load up the generator, climb onto the rooftop and take care of the two speakers in there. Now, feel free to activate it. Inside, along with another Nero Injector and some supplies, you'll find the Mobile Medical United Recording - 1111.

Right when you enter Belknap from the northern entrance, you'll come across the Marion Forks Tunnel Nero Checkpoint.

You won't have much problem getting around this one, just watch out for the third speaker in the cabin close to the tunnel. Oh, and that slippery gas tank is on the truck in the main road.

This one is on the southwest side of the map, and it's a bit complex.

For starters, the place is crawling with Rippers who will shoot on sight, and there are also a few Freakers here and there. The other problem is that the gas tank is kinda out of sight, but you'd want to take the left side and look for a pile of corpses to find it.

Go to the generator in the middle of the street and turn it on, but make sure to take out all the speakers first. Check the lines coming from the bunkers since there are at least five of them, plus one in the locked entrance that you can see blocking the path. There's no way to climb, so just shoot it.

From Iron MIke's Lost Lake Encampment, go all the way south following the main road.

Right in the centre, keep heading towards a hidden checkpoint, which is surrounded by a four nests infestation. It would be better to do this during the day to avoid a larger enemy counter than usual.

Inside, the generator can be found by entering from the right side of the place, since the fence door is locked. If you go to the big tent on the left, you'll be able to pick up a gas tank. Once that's settled, make sure to have a molotov ready, since the missing fuse is inside the nest in the checkpoint. Lastly, there are only two speakers, which can be found in the rooftop of the bunker.

Heading out from the one in Santiam Tunnel, head east to the Old Sawmill area. It's best advised to avoid entering the perimeters as much as possible, since there's a massive Horde inside. For this, just head around the right side until you can climb and get inside the checkpoint.

The gas tank is inside one of the tents, just laying on the floor. Get to the generator, but beware, since there are around six speakers in here. Four of them are on usual places, while the others can be found in light posts. In here, it's up to you: You can either ignore them, loot everything inside and head out as much as possible, or go and shoot them beforehand. Either way, make sure to have your bike parked nearby.

There are two MMUs in here: One of them has a Nero Injector along with loot, and the other (which can only be accessed by the back exiting from the first one) has the Mobile Medical United Recording - 1301.

We're getting closer to the final stretch of the game. But first, make sure to head over to this checkpoint in Iron Butte. If by any chance you get to the final mission before getting locked out (the game will let you know), make sure to do a separate save so you don't miss this one during the first time. Otherwise, you're gonna have to wait until after finishing the game.

This one is easy, but be prepared to face a group of Rippers to get to it. The gas tank is in the back of a black truck nearby.

Now, beware since there are seven speakers to care care of: Two in each truck, two in light pots, and one in the cabin that can be found following the main road. Just follow the wires and you'll see them.

Now, go to activate the generator, which will get jammed. Just keep holding square until it's functioning. Surprisingly, you won't find a recording here but a Mobile Medical Site Order, the TS-27-760GDQ especifically.

This one has a bit of everything, and can be found on west to the island, following the main road all the way south and then heading west until reaching the left corner.

There are several Nero units, speakers in all of them, and a bandit camp that you're gonna have to take care. Be careful, though, since the gunshots will probably alert a Horde that is inside the tunnel.

There are two gas cans, but the easiest one to pick up is inside an empty MMU. Go to the generator, which will get jammed too, and keep holding square until it's activated. But surprise! You're gonna need a flare, too.

Go to the flare box and activate the prompt. To save you some time, the location is behind the first big tent you cross by, on the left side.

Once you have brought it back and everything is activated, get inside to find another Nero Injector, along with the Mobile Medical Unit Recording 1683.

This one might seem like a breeze at first. You can find it on the upper right side of the map, taking the island once more as the centre.

Follow the main road, and then start heading east until you cross the river. If you see a small lake that breaks into two smaller paths, you are only a few steps away from it.

There aren't any enemies nearby, and you only need to fill the generator once. Just beware of the speakers, since there are two posts (one at the beginning and the other at the end of the road, you can't miss them) along with a couple above each MMU.

Once that's settled, the gas tank is just at the side of the schoolbus. Light up that generator and get inside the two MMUs: The first will get you a Nero Injector along with loot, while the other has the Mobile Medical Unit Recording 1682.

In order to access this one, you're gonna have to do the mission "Can I Ask You Something?" and follow it through. The area won't be unlocked before then. The checkpoint is probably the biggest one in the list, covering an entire football field along with tents scattered throughout the place. Oh, and there are 8 speakers to take care of.

Since there are many enemies around, the best way to approach this is by taking care of the ones surrounding the MMUs (placed on the rooftops, as usual), and use the rest as distractions.

The gas tank can be found between some destroyed tents, and you would want to walk close to the goalpost to find the generator. Light it up, and get ready to find a fuse. As usual, follow the yellow path to the fuse box, and then keep heading towards the direction it highlights.

It's not far from there, and you can find it in a metal box inside a tent. Go back, insert the missing fuse and you'll be all set.

Now, get inside the MMU to find the Mobile Medical Unit Recording 0805. Head back again and enter the other unit, where another Nero Injector along with some supplies will be waiting for you.

At least, the final Nero Checkpoint is in Highway 97 as well. This one is easy, but there's a thing with the speakers here. There's a Horde very close to the area, and some of them are tied to light pots. You can either risk yourself by shooting them down, or leave them as a distraction.

Do make sure to cut off the speakers that are on top of the MMUs, and the one in the cabin right when you enter the checkpoint. In fact, the gas tank is just behind the cabin, and the generator can be found on the right side.

Just make a U turn around it to enter. Inside the MMU, you'll have the Nero Injector, along with the Mobile Medical Unit Recording 1685.

Days Gone Guide

Days Gone: How to get to NERO Research Site? Days Gone guide, walkthrough

Last update: 12 December 2022

While exploring the world in Days Gone , markers of NERO Research Site may appear on the map. Getting to them can be troublesome. On this page of our guide we have reviewed the most common types of research sites.

If you get to the marker and do not see any buildings, it means that you are dealing with the NERO Research Site , as well as with a kind of a starting point. These places have to be explored as well as the main Nero Checkpoints. As for the research sites there is also the possibility to find an injector that will constantly increase the hero's stats.

There are two main types of NERO Research Sites. The first type is NERO research camp inside the caves . If you do not find anything in the place indicated by the game, then inspect the neighborhood for the entrance to the cave.

Many caves are inhabited by hordes of Freakers during the day . Then don't try to enter the cave because there is no chance to defeat the monsters. Instead, wait until nightfall for the Horde to leave the cave and begin to explore the area.

Turn on the flashlight (the lower direction button on the cross pad) and carefully search the cave. You should find a small camp and a white box with an injector.

The second type of NERO Research Sites are the research points behind small precipices . In this case, it is necessary to equip Deacon's motorcycle deacon in nitro - we described that on a separate page How to unlock nitro? in the Motorcycle section.

Look around near the research point and find a place to jump. Point your bike at it with nitro enabled, so you safely may jump to the other side.

Finding a way to the camp shouldn't be a problem. Upon arrival, locate the white box and remove the syringe from it.

Days Gone Nero Research Sites Location Guide – Where to find All Nero Research Sites

In this Days Gone Nero Research Sites Location Guide, we will detail all the locations of the Nero Research Sites that you can go to. In total there are 18 Nero Research Sites in the game, and each gives you Nero Injector which helps to increase your Health, Focus and Stamina stats. Finding all of them will max out your health.

To first begin with, you have to capture Ambush Camps. These will give you at least one Nero Research site on the map. Once you go to the Research Site, you have to listen to the Nero Intel to learn about the next Nero Research Site location.

In total, there are 18 Nero Research Sites. Instead of looking around for each, we have marked all the locations of the Nero Intel Research Sites, so you can save time and go to them directly.

Most of the Research Sites are inside Freaker Caves, while some require you to make big jumps with your bike to reach them. If you are going for the ones in the Freaker Caves, its best to go at night when the Freakers will be out hunting instead. At the day time, Freakers are usually found sleeping in the caves.

The locations which require you to make big jumps can be done so with your bike. That too if you have the Nitrous upgrade equipped on it. If you struggle to make a jump, that means you have to upgrade your bike further for more speed.

Days Gone NERO Injectors - all locations for the stat boosting syringes

All the Days Gone NERO Injector locations, NERO Research Stations and Checkpoints

Days Gone NERO Injectors are a crucial to progress. Every time you find a Days Gone NERO Injector location - usually at a NERO Research Station or NERO Checkpoint - you can use them at to increase your health, stamina, and focus (a slow mo aiming ability you can unlock). Days Gone 's work can be tough and while you need to explore to find these vital resources, the journeys you'll constantly be making between checkpoints, and through the wilderness, are filled with danger and peril. That's why the best chance of survival means finding these Days Gone NERO Injectors to boost your stats, and finding them fast with the minimum of danger.

These amazing Days Gone NERO Injectors wunder-drugs can be located at NERO checkpoints, which also double up as fast travel points once you've got them up and running. The remaining upgrade items can be at NERO Research Stations  which are always a little harder to get to, and usually require a bit of creative traversal to reach - if you can't reach and area of injector then upgrade your bike's speed and nitrous boost will probably give you the boost you need to get there and find the Days Gone NERO Injectors you can't reach at first.

Days Gone tips | Days Gone map | Days Gone IPCA Tech | Days Gone Ambush Camp locations | Days Gone horde locations | How to take down a horde in Days Gone | Days Gone skins | How to store weapons in Days Gone | Days Gone sound bug | Days Gone secret ending

There are 30 Days Gone NERO Injectors for you to collect in all – that’s 10 for each ability – and you may not want to focus on just collecting all of one upgrade to start with, but rather build up all your skills in tandem. Here’s what you should focus on if you’re struggling in the game, though:

• Health - Good for general gameplay but not essential until you meet more dangerous enemies given the ease with which you can heal. 
• Stamina - very important for running away, especially early game when you might accidentally find a horde and not have the Stamina to escape. 
• Focus - you'll need to unlock the Focus Shot skill to use this but it's invaluable if you're going up against hordes, giving you a slow-mo aim to keep the tide at bay. 

Where to find all Days Gone NERO Injector locations

As we mentioned, you'll find Days Gone NERO injectors at checkpoints that are permanently marked on the map, and research stations which have to be found and disappear once you've claimed the syringe. These research stations will be marked if you get close enough, and finding the bunker at cleared Ambush Camps will also note them on your map. They usually also have a red flashing beacon that makes a noise, but that's of limited use if it's hidden in a cave or at an areas you can't reach without a bike jump.

• During the mission to find sterile bandages for Boozer you’ll find the Little Bear Lake NERO Checkpoint and your first injector.

NERO Checkpoint and NERO Injector Locations

This page of the Days Gone guide details NERO Checkpoints and NERO Research Sites .

There are 12 NERO Checkpoints and 18 NERO Research Sites scattered throughout Oregon. Each one contains a NERO Injector. Injectors can be used to boost either Health, Focus, or Stamina. Collectibles like NERO Intel and IPCA Tech can be found at or near these NERO locations.

NERO Checkpoints are located along main routes throughout Oregon. They contain a locked Mobile Medical Unit, or MMU. To unlock the MMU you must power it up by starting a generator. You will have to locate the generator, then find fuel for it and fill it up. Some locations also require locating and installing a breaker. Before starting the generator, disconnect any speakers in the area, as the sound they produce when the power is on will attract Freakers . With the power on, enter the MMU and apply the NERO Injector to secure the location. The MMU is now a safe location, with a bed where you can rest and pass time, and a gun locker where you can change you weapon loadout. The checkpoint is now available as a fast travel point.

NERO Research Sites are in remote locations or locations that are difficult to access. Some are at NERO helicopter crash sites that can only be accessed by jumping a gap with your bike. Other sites are found inside caves and mines. Each site will have a couple of crates and a white case containing a NERO injector.

The first checkpoint is unlocked during the main mission Bugged the Hell Out . The rest of the NERO Checkpoints are side missions for the World's End storyline. NERO Research Sites are not missions, and will not contribute to any storylines.

The NERO locations are listed below by region, along with points of interest for each location. The checkpoints are numbered. The research sites are marked with letters of the alphabet.

Days Gone: Nero Research Site Locations

NERO Checkpoints are found all over the map in Days Gone. We can show you how to find them, beat them and get the valuable injectors inside.

While out exploring the wildlands of Days Gone , there’s plenty of side activities for you to take on. One such distraction is that of the various NERO Checkpoints scattered throughout the map. You’ll want to check them out, as they contain useful loot, and NERO injectors, which will make the game easier with each one that you find. In this Days Gone NERO Checkpoints Guide , we’ll take a look at how to restore power to NERO Checkpoints using fuses and fuel. We’ll also look at disabling the alarms first, so that you won’t alert any nearby hordes in the process.

On this page:

All Nero Checkpoint Locations in Days Gone

How to restore power to nero checkpoints, how to disable the alarms at nero checkpoints, days gone nero injectors.

NERO Checkpoints are found all over the map in Days Gone. Each one hides a NERO Injector (more on that later) and once unlocked can be used as a fast travel point. They are represented as white crosses on your map, though will turn into black crosses once you restore power. Let’s take a look at where you can find them on the map.

For more on Days Gone, be sure to head over to our Days Gone Guides Hub. It's where you'll find all of our Days Gone content, like Where to Get Fuel in Days Gone, How to Fast Travel in Days Gone, a look at NERO Checkpoints , a breakdown of how to Upgrade Your Bike in Days Gone. Also, there's our guide on How to Increase Trust Level at Camps in Days Gone. For a look at the Best Weapons in Days Gone, there's our Days Gone Weapons Guide. If you're looking to trigger the Days Gone Secret Ending, you'll need our guide on all of the Days Gone IPCA Locations.

In the majority of cases, NERO Checkpoints will consist of a generator and a monitoring unit. To restore the power, you just need to clear out the area and locate a fuel can. Use this fuel can to refuel the generator and hit the button. There’s an extra step that we’d advise you do before you hit the button though, and that’s disabling the alarms.

Before activating the generators at NERO Checkpoints, you’ll want to disable the alarms. This is done by carrying out the following steps:

• Alarms are usually found on the roof of the mobile containment unit.
• They are represented by speakers, with orange wires on them.
• Climb up and cut the wires with your knife.
• Alternatively, you can shoot them with a suppressed weapon.
• Be sure to check the whole area for alarms, as one is enough to draw a horde.
• If an alarm is triggered, it will show up on your map as a loudspeaker icon, you’ll also hear it.

So why go through all the fuss of restoring power to NERO Checkpoints? Well, each one has a NERO Injector, essentially a stat boost for either your Health, Stamina, or Focus. Once you open the box, you’ll be given a choice of which one to bolster, so choose carefully!

There's plenty more Days Gone where that rode in from. Check out the story behind Sarah's strange vows here, or enjoy Mike's review of the game here.

Days Gone: Highway 97 Nero Intel Collectibles Locations

Six Days Gone Highway 97 Nero Intel Collectibles can also be found in the fifth region of the video game developed by Bend Studio  for  PlayStation 4 ; thus we have created the following locations guide and map to help you discover them.

Highway 97 Nero Intel Locations Map

The following guide covers all Nero Recorders in the Highway 97 Region and provides an in-depth approach for each collectible.

The guide follows the same order as the one on our map, thus it will help you track every Nero Intel in Highway 97.

Intel 1 – Field Recording – 2011

Location: The first Days Gone Highway 97 Intel Collectible on our map is located inside a tunnel southwest of Aspen Butte Ambush Camp .

This tunnel can be used as an infiltration point to the said Ambush Camp and it’s also a Nero Research Site . The recorder is sitting next to the Nero Injector.

Intel 2 – Flight Data Recording – 1377

Location: The second Days Gone Nero Intel on our map above is at another Research Site, which requires you to perform not one, but two bike jumps.

From the crossroad near the gas station, you’ll have to boost your bike and land on a small island, then jump again to a larger island where you can find a helicopter wreck.

The collectible can be seen next to a dead Nero Scientist by a large rock. Grab it, but don’t leave the area without the IPCA Tech found in the middle of the crash site on the corpse of a white-suited scientist.

Intel 3 – Researcher Field Note – 2020

Location: Another Intel Recorder Collectible is east of Aspen Butte Ambush Camp, in a cave we have marked on our map.

This is, yet again an accessible collectible because its location is at a Research Site. Look for it near the white crate with the Nero Injector.

Intel 4 – Researcher Field Note – 1005

Location: The fourth Days Gone Highway 97 Recorder is also inside a Research Site.

At the location we have marked, you’ll find a broken bridge. Look under it, for the Nero Injector and the Intel on the left side (as pictured).

Intel 5 – Mobile Medical Unit Recording – 1685

Location: The fifth collectible is inside Pillette Bridge Nero Checkpoint . Look for it after you unlock the checkpoint, inside the MMU building.

You’ll spot it on a counter, opposed to the sink.

Intel 6 – Mobile Medical Unit Recording – 0805

Location: The sixth Days Gone Nero Intel Collectible, is found inside Chemult Community College Nero Checkpoint .

You’ll find it in the western MMU Building; however, this is a very dangerous zone. Make sure you follow our guide and disable all MMU Speakers because a large Horde is also found at this location.

The recorder is found on a counter, but you should check all 3 MMU buildings because there are multiple Crafting Materials to be found here.
