Protecting the Weak are short story missions in which you usually have to free someone. They are loosely connected with the plot, but they provide valuable experience and give the opportunity to face strong and numerous groups of opponents.

He Never Came Back

After you complete Everyone Has To Work (Gear Up For the Ride), you will receive a call from Copeland starting the mission. Go to Copeland. He will send you to look for a missing person.

At the end you will find a corpse sitting against a wall - examine it. Go to the next search point and go down the river, where you will find the second dead man. You'll find the last victim in the grass by the stone, from there you'll hear the voices of your opponents on the hill. Sneak into their camp, eliminate them (only three); then release the prisoner to complete the task.

It's worth doing this mission early on because you'll get a lot of reputation for it in Copeland's camp.

Coming into Town

You will begin this mission after you have completed Earning Our Keep: You See What They Did. Tucker has a simple task for you - to free Larsen. Go to the northern village and get rid of a few marauders. You'll find Larsen on the first floor of the bar (watch out for one opponent who can be lurking on the first floor, on the balcony). An easy, quick mission, rewarded with a lot of reputation.

Go to the place near the lake and inspect the fishing rod. Now go to the waterfront - move carefully, because the Marauders can hear you from here. They reside behind the fence. However, they will probably be busy with fighting with the Freakers if you go there after dark.

In this mission there is a sort of bug - sometimes you have an opportunity to release the prisoner through a wall at the stairs, on the right, without entering the building. - Days Gone: Protecting the Weak - walkthrough - Main storyline - Days Gone Guide

After completing the Time For Some Payback (Keep Them Safe) mission, when you leave the camp for a while, Rikki will contact you on the radio. It's a different mission than the usual ones commissioned by Rikki. Go to the farm near the Sherman camp and find the tracks in the barn. Traces and trails lead to the gas station in town, where there is a group of armed bandits. You will find more tracks near the fuel dispenser.

The camp can only be entered from the South side, through a small hole in the fence grid. Several enemies have a vest and you can't kill them quietly from behind. There are only 8 opponents to eliminate. After this mission, you will be able to complete two more tasks involving clearing camps.

The Copeland camp was attacked.

When you return to Lost Lake and perform another mission for the camp (eliminating the Horde - Provide them with protection), Copeland will call you with an additional mission. In this mission, you save Manny from the hands of the Marauders. However the fight ends with battling a bear. However, standing on the tower where they keep Manny, you should be safe - just keep a constant fire.
