Days Gone Guide | All NERO Injectors Locations

In Days Gone, NERO Injectors are crucial to maximizing Deacon's skills by upgrading his health, stamina, and focus. These injectors can be found at NERO Checkpoints and NERO Research Sites and typically require players to solve minor puzzles, kill enemies, or utilize their motorcycle to access them. 

In this guide, we'll walk you through all 30 NERO Injector locations so that you can fully utilize Deacon's skills.

Cascade Region (6 NERO Injectors)

NERO Injector #1 can be located when you're questing for obtaining Sterile Bandages while Deacon is searching for supplies for Boozer. It will be north of Copeland's Camp in the Little Bear Lake NERO Checkpoint. You can gain entry by acquiring gasoline for the generator. 

NERO Injector #2 will be near the Old Pioneer Cemetery, where you'll be able to see a NERO scientist. You can obtain it by entering the cave located near the checkpoint. 

You can also find NERO Injector #3 in the Old Pioneer Cemetery, accessible through the checkpoint building.

NERO Injector #4 at the checkpoint is southeast of Hot Springs (Tucker's Camp). Take care when entering the area of the Reapers. 

NERO Injector #5 is at the checkpoint north of Copeland's Camp. Clear the area during the day when the swarm is in railcar groups. 

NERO Injector #6 is at the checkpoint west of Horse Lake (Marion Forks Tunnel). Enter the tunnel to locate the checkpoint, fuel the generator, and proceed to the Injector.

Belknap Region (4 NERO Injectors)

Only a motorbike jump can reach the NERO Injector #7. Go in the direction of Copeland's Camp to the area, take the ramp, and motorbike through the gap. Utilize the Nitrous upgrade to make the jump. 

NERO Injector #8 lies in a cave northwest of the Hot Springs Camp. The cave is occupied by a horde, so it is advisable to approach at night when the area is empty.

NERO Injector #9 is in the Old Sawmill Checkpoint NERO, southwest of Camp Iron Mike. There is a swarm here, so make sure to clear it before turning on the power. 

NERO Injector #10 is at the Checkpoint Rogue Tunnel, west of Camp Iron Mike. The same drill applies: take fuel, turn the power back up, and go through the NERO building.

Lost Lake Region (6 NERO Injectors)

NERO Injector #11, which is to the east of the Old Sawmill NERO Checkpoint, requires a motorbike jump. 

NERO Injector #12 lies in a mine northwest of Wizard Island. It can be reached by hand or with a side quest.

NERO Injector #13 lies south of Wizard Island in a two-story building near a NERO Research Site. 

NERO Injector #14 lies in a cave in the southwest of Wizard Island, which was visited previously as part of a reward quest. They can attack the coyotes and wolves, so be ready.

NERO Injector #15 is located near the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway Checkpoint north of Wizard Island. The generator is through the locked gate; open it, fill it with fuel, and power it up. 

NERO Injector #16 can be found at the Spruce Lake Checkpoint, located southwest of Wizard Island. The region also houses an Ambush Camp, so hostiles must be removed from the way before the checkpoint is allowed.

Crater Lake Region (5 NERO Injectors)

NERO Injector #17 is located on the ruined bridge southeast of Wizard Island. Approach it with caution by descending the elevated road. 

NERO Injector #18 is west of the camp of the Diamond Lake Camp, at the top of a steep cliff. Go around dead ends by ascending the mountain along the right trail. 

NERO Injector #19 is in the direction of the area of the Aspen Butte Ambush Camp, in a cave. Go inside the cave, eliminate any dangers, and get the Injector.

NERO Injector #20 can be found on a small island southeast of Wizard Island. To retrieve it, you will have to make a motorbike jump. Once obtained, you will have to jump once more to leave the island.

NERO Injector #21 can be found east of Wizard Island, inside a university. A swarm resides there, so approach at night when outside and roaming.

Highway 97 Region (5 NERO Injectors)

NERO Injector #22 is in a cave northeast of the university, the other hoarded nest. 

NERO Injector #23 is south of Wizard Island, near the Santiam Tunnel NERO Checkpoint. To enter, just turn the power back on in the same manner as always. 

NERO Injector #24, located southeast of Wizard Island, requires a motorcycle jump. It is in the area with several ramps near the university.

Nitrous jumping is the only way to access the NERO Injector #25, located west of Hot Springs Camp. The Injector is above the wreck of a crashed NERO chopper. 

NERO Injector #26 is on a train bridge to the east of Copeland's Camp. Simply drive onto the train bridge to get to the Injector.

Iron Butte Region (4 NERO Injectors)

Northeast of Iron Mike's farm, in a cavern teeming with swarms, lies the NERO Injector #27. Go there at midnight to bypass the battle. 

NERO Injector #28 is in a Redwood RV Park to the west of the camp of Iron Mike. Another motorbike jump is required there, with Nitrous added in for the added thrust.

NERO Injector #29 can be found in White King Mine, north of Copeland Camp. The mine has a swarm, so it's best to enter at night when they're out. 

The Final NERO Injector #30 is by the Chemult Station Checkpoint, which is in the southern part of the area relative to the Iron Mike Camp. Restore power and obtain the final Deacon upgrade.

Last Notes

To collect all 30 NERO Injectors efficiently, upgrade your bike's Nitrous early on in the game since some injectors are only accessible through jumps. 

Furthermore, scheduled visits should be made based on horde travel patterns, and injectors from caves should be picked up at night when hordes are not around. It is also good to clear NERO checkpoints early since they give you fast travel points and great rewards.
