5 TIPS you MUST know before you play State of Decay 2 – SOD 2

Here is the list of tips you need to know about State of Decay 2 – SOD 2 5. Don’t Explore Too Much Whilst State of Decay 2 features 3 playable maps at launch, they are not as connected as you would like. The map you start your journey on is the only map you can explore for that Community. If you leave the map via one of the roads that leads to another area, it will completely wipe your progress in your current map and you’ll start again in a new area. 4. Vehicles Are Valuable, Don’t Lose Them! Vehicles are an incredibly valuable resource. They let you travel long distances safely, you can avoid more dangerous zombie types and you can fill up your trunk with tons of supplies each run. Don’t waste your repair kits and fuel early on, especially on vehicles that don’t offer much utility 3. Your radio is your best friend Need to recover your health? Call your radio. Want help from a nearby follower? Call your radio. Looking for a particular type of resource but not sure where to start looking? Seriously, call your radio. The all purpose communication device is the next best thing to a soulmate in State of Decay 2’s American apocalypse, useful for a whole range of services, from teleporting your character out of an unfortunate clipping glitch to calling in a full blown airstrike. 2. Choose Your Leader Wisely As your community members earn standing points they can rank up from Civilian to Hero. Once they are at the Hero rank you can assign them as a leader, but choose carefully. Before choosing, make sure your leader is someone you are sure you want to keep with you for the rest of the game. 1. If your community dies, it’s game over Most people will have already heard about State of Decay 2’s unforgiving nature as a roguelike game, but this can’t be stressed enough. When one of your playable community members die in game, they’re gone for good, and if you lose all of those members, that’s it. The game ends. Done. You’ll be met with a message telling you that you’ve lost your community and will have to try it all over again. Don’t learn this the hard way. Pay attention to each of your survivor’s needs, and only let one of them bite the bullet if you’re sure that your community can take the hit. You can recruit more community members by gaining loyalty with followers you meet in the world, and this will help make sure your numbers never dwindle to dangerous levels. No one, after all, wants to be minutes away from completing a community’s story only to watch their last surviving member succumb to the blood plague.
