The Freakers (also known as Freaks) are the main antagonists and hostile enemies of the 2019 video game Days Gone, developed by SIE Bend Studio. In the past, they were once beings, both humans and animals, that fell victim to the Freaker Virus, turning them into ravenous cannibalistic monsters.
Appearance
Freakers have an appearance of having decayed flesh bodies, similar to undead beings, such as zombies. All Freakers appear to have their skin covered in bloody sores, and many infected humans seem to have gone hairless.
Personality
Freakers are seemingly mindless, aggressive, and hostile to any unifected beings, as well as other kinds of infected. Freakers are actually still living beings, and act as such. They also seem to retain base primal instincts, such as hunting. When unprovoked or unaware of the presence of non-infected human or fauna, Freakers will merely wander around in search of them. When they find one they will chase them down in a furious frenzy, usually alerting other freakers with their increased movement and vocals, creating a horde that will run down any prey. While the Freakers are known to travel in packs and work together, this behavior is only found among the same mutations, as the infected will attack each other if they come within the vicinity of other types. Freakers will behave differently depending on the weather. Rain can dull their senses of sight and sound and snow will grant them a strength boost, but decreased visibility.
History
Origin
An organization called Cloverdale Corporation were secretly developing a bio-weapons program disguised as a bio-botany project. Two of the scientists who worked for the organization were Sarah Whitaker and David Gourman. Cloverdale developed the virus in secret, taking away their personnel's clearance and using the lab for the classified project.
David had become suspicious of Cloverdale's research and correctly deduced their intent. David tried to convince Sarah that their employer was up to something, but she did not believe him and tried to convince him that he was being paranoid. David then broke into the lab and stole a sample of the virus. He brought the virus sample to an environmental convention in Portland in an effort to publicly expose Cloverdale's unethical research. However, Gorman unwittingly infected himself with the stolen sample and further exposed the convention attendees, whom in turn returned to their homes all over the world and spread the virus even more.
Within two weeks, the virus had spread throughout the world, killing half of the human population and turning millions of people and animals into Freakers. As a result, civilization fell, and cities were abandoned in favor of smaller settlements in the wilderness, while the world is left at the mercy of the Freakers.
