1. Choose Your Home Base Wisely: Your Home Base is your central hub. It is where you do all your construction, and where survivors from your community gather. While the first Home Base is normally chosen for you, in the form of a story objective, you are free to choose one after that. You can only have one Home Base at a time, and when you choose a second, your previous is destroyed. Each Home Base offers different slots for construction -- so make sure the spots offer what you need. Each map features a "master" base, which is the best of all the bases. You can easily spot these, as they cost 3,500 Influence Points each. 2. Resources: Resources are important to your success. There are consumables and items that you can find and use yourself, but there are also community resources. These resources are special, as they always come in the shape of a large sack that you carry on your back. You can only carry a single sack at a time, but you can also load up your trunk. When you return these sacks to your Home Base, the resources go towards your community. Having enough food, medical supplies, and crafting materials ensures your community is safe and maintains a high level of morale. 3. Vehicles Are Valuable: Vehicles are a very valuable resource. They allow you to safely travel long distances, avoid dangerous zombie types, and you can fill up your trunk with lots of supplies during each run. Do not waste your repair kits and fuel early in the game, especially on vehicles that do not offer much utility. Find the vehicles that have the most capacity and use those for the start of your journey, ensuring you always return to Home Base with more resources than your last expedition cost. 4. Beware Of Traveling To New Maps: While State Of Decay 2 features three playable maps at launch, they are not really connected. The map you start on is the only map you can explore for that community. If you leave the map through one of the roads that leads to another area, it will completely wipe your progress in your current map, and you will start again in a new area. 5. Create A Custom Community: When you first start the game, you are given the choice of a few starting communities. Any of these can work depending on your playstyle and approach, but there is a little trick if you want more control. Complete the tutorial with any of the pre-made communities -- the tutorial is complete once you have occupied your first Home Base. Then, exit to the main menu, and go to "Manage Communities". Choose a new community to have several additional options appear; choose to skip the tutorial. This allows you to continuously randomize three different survivors to start your community, including unique and exciting skills. 6. Pay Attention To Skills: All survivors have basic skills: Fighting, Cardio, Shooting, etc. However, there is also a slot for a final skill. These are unique skills that can greatly help your communities efforts. Some boost experience points rates by up to 100%. Others unlock powerful new moves in combat, and some allow you to build special facilities at your Home Base. 7. Switch Survivors Often: Your survivors can become exhausted or injured during their expeditions. This drastically reduces their overall performance and greatly increases their chances of a serious accident. You can use many items to refill stamina, but the best way to ensure your survivors are in great shape is to switch them out often. Visit your beds in your Home Base to switch to other members of your community. 8. Choose Your Leader Wisely: As your community members earn standing points, they can rank up from Civilian to Hero. Once they reach the Hero rank, you can assign them as a leader, but choose carefully. There are four types of leaders in the game, and each of the four types will take you on a different set of story objectives. Once you have chosen a leader, you can only replace them by exiling them from your community. Before choosing, make sure your leader is someone you are sure you want to keep with you for the rest of the game. 9. Do Not Waste Your Outposts: In addition to your Home Base, you can occupy Outposts. While the slots are limited, you can occupy up to six different Outposts alongside your Home Base. Some of the benefits are basic, such as additional beds, while others can offer valuable items and assets, such as free coffee (great for stamina) or electric and water supply. Pay close attention to the resources your community runs out of the most. Try to compensate by finding Outposts that provide that asset. They are automatically delivered to your Home Base every day -- so minimal maintenance is required. 10. Beware Of Plague Zombies: You can tell Plague Zombies apart from traditional zombies, as they are usually dark red. In addition to the typical health damage they inflict when they strike you, they also cause Blood Plague damage. When you accumulate enough Blood Plague damage, you become infected and will die from it if you do not quickly cure it.
