Sod 3 is said to just be a better version of sod 2 like how they did it with the first game and second game. That means a bigger map, more maps, better house with new loot, new weapons new guns, hopefully 2 more new zombies with zombie animals. New characters, with different traits and new specialist system.. pretty much this etc. Also a new better base system with different buildings.
My tips: 1) Stash your bags in vehicles parked around your base. It will help to save itens to not be wasted, when at max storage capacity! 2) Select 3 characters before the end game mission and fill their inventory with the best itens, best weapons, best base upgrades and bags, to begin the other map, at best capacity (i love to start with my chars equiped with my beloved silenced timberwolf, that kills almost anything with one shot)! 3) Utilize books to change some of your abilities or learn new ones! 4) At characters selection, you can keep searching for chars with special abilities like dont need bed for sleeping, provide more beds, produce more food, etc, for facilitate your base sustentability and best usage of base spaces! 5) Ask your friends to help make a base transplant of the most important items, before you change the map! Its super easy to do, just use your friends inventory and vehicles to stash your most important items before end game, so you can have a new beginning, kicking ass! XD 6) Use zombies to kill other comunitys or vendors (after you buy the items of your interest) and take their loot! Good to take those nice weapons they carry around! Just use noise devices, zombie bait or atract plague hordes to do the job!
Nice tips but a lot of these then defeat the purpose of looting and searching for useful survivors. Following these tips cuts out a portion of the game. No hate intended but for someone like me that enjoys grinding this game out, these tips dont help me.
Why only select 3 characters when u could fill all ur survivor best gear so when legacy ends they all be save on list and they have best items.its 4 months ago so maybe this feature not avail at that time but all your survivor on community will be save at the end of legacy so fill them best items.
Here is my tip: Use the fences, specially in large groups just run away and jump a fence or a wall, Zeds will have a hard time jumping obstacles, they get separated and most of the times you get an easy execution for the first couple of zeds that land on your side. Repeat the process and now you have thin the herd to a level you can manage more easily.
A tip for killing plague hearts: Throw one bloater gas grenade,and then one Molotov right after. Kills the plague heart in less than 5 seconds even on nightmare difficultly. Tip 2: If you cut the legs of all the zombies in your sight and all around the plague heart, no more can spawn in. Try to attract as many zombies as possible to your location when you do this and cut their legs. DO NOT KILL THEM. And crawler zombies are practically harmless. Just don't move too much around or more will spawn in. Try to stay in one small area near the heart. Then you can be as loud as you want. With these tactics I killed 10 plague hearts on nightmare difficulty in one day. I killed 4 hearts with a single character. Didn't have to switch until they got blood plague after the last heart. They are alive so don't worry.
This is great advice. Something I’ve done lately on higher difficulties for plague hearts is using the roof of a car to snipe through windows. You’ll build up a massive horde but after the plague heart pops you can take out any ferals or strays with headshots. Takes a lot of ammo but it’s good for people who can’t manage crowd control very well (me).
imo best way to clear hearts are explosives, like pipebombs or granades. Hearts are destroyed so fast you dont even have to fight off any zombies as they die with the heart
On lethal heart's got bullet and explosion damage proofed. They take less damage from these, BUT molotov's, gaz bombs and willie pete're still making good job
Yep! This game has gotten WAAAAAAY harder. over the past 2 years I have completed to game with 11 survivors 5 of them had been through every map a few times I went back to the game recently & during a horde invasion my character was torn apart. What's worse is that this character was the main one I use. Was devastated
One big tip I’d add is: bloater gas is flammable and *very* explosive. It can be gas from an actual bloater or a bloater gas grenade and it can be ignited by incendiaries (like molotovs) or even with items like flares. If you can get a blood plague bloater to burst next to a plague heart and then explode the gas, you can one-shot a plague heart (even in lethal zone!)
One small thing I suggest that might be helpful from time to time especially when resources are low is use bandages when healing at your base and save pain meds for exploring.
I use 2lvl infirmary for passive recovery, it really makes sense, and if you will get a survivor with medicine ability, surgery - recovery will be much faster, tested on dread difficulty, planning on defeating the game on lethal
I try to always have at least 2 expendable survivors. You don't have to choose between risking a survivor you want to keep and having support. Mine personally have suppressed BAR's (there's better options, that's just the best I have), and I don't have to sneak around nearly as much as I used to. They are also useful for plague hearts, hostile enclaves, and difficult missions.
Actually, I might say that the Bar's the most precise and usefull weapon when used by npc or ourselves... I always use this weapon on a npc to follow me and helps to destroys PH.. The looter's m4 is good, but the npc's don't full auto when they're able to burst and the damage it deals isn't very good. PLUS the timberwolf's great for PH BUT, it attracts a lot, NPC's are as smart as a wet potato that they almost got down instant, the bar's a good option for ''crowd'' control by the npc, and ph killing. That's what I think
I switched from xbox one s to series s for playing sod2, and couldn't be happier. No more zombies spawning directly in front of my car, and having a bunch of zombies on the screen doesn't lag my game anymore. YAY!
It's crazy how over time the game has really grown on me, I've had some of the most epic moments on Nightmare and Lethal. It's all I've been playing for the last few months.
Two other tips I would add that are situational. 1. If you have them, equip raider weapons on your community members you are not currently using. I equip them all with .50 guns, but for those who don't have enough or any, guns that only shoot automatic are good second options, regardless of the caliber. 2. (This one really nerfs every difficulty) Knowledge of Pathology and at least one Sheriff in your community can allow you a base setup to completely disregard blood plague. Any non starting base will allow for a level 3 infirmary and field hospital. Activating primary care at both buildings at the same time will grant immunity to blood plague for every community member for one hour. This won't work when you are in someone else's game.
A tip I have for fighting enemy enclaves/humans, draw in zeds and let them weaken the enemy for you, drive past with your horn blaring, throw zed bait etc and either keep away from the combat as best you can, or get to a point where the zeds can not see/detect you.
Take something like AK-47, grab your gunslinger and use snap ability and it will instantly blow their head. To be safe, drop molotov or napalm at them, so they are distracted, so you don't get headshot yourself.
I hate gunslinging because when I try to shoot a certain zombie it automatically locks on to a zombie that I wasn't aiming at, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't, its random and its annoying.
+11. Dodge without directional input makes u backstep and you can chain it into a counterattack unique to every weapon type. CQC can instakill zombies this way with a knife.
My tip is to use sound to your advantage when the situation calls for it. If you have a difficult hostile enclave you need to get rid of stealthily approach their house and place noise makers. Boom boxes. Firecrackers. Fireworks. Whatever. Get outta dodge and watch and wait from a distance. Possibly use scentblock. The zombies in the area will swarm the enclave doing most of the hard work for you. Use throwables if you have them. Grenades and the like. Hop in a vehicle and take out the rest of the zombies and any weakened survivors. Unless you like the combat, that is. I like screwing over the enemy enclaves. Same tactic for plague hearts. Place noisemakers and draw most of them out and take out the remaining zombies and the plague heart as much as you can before the sound wears out and the start to come back to protect the heart.
Just for the community to know, I've finished my 2nd Lethal Zone run and my legacy boons are Trader and Builder which will make A LOT of difference to your gameplay. My tips for a strong starter community are... 1. Build your powerhouse community. Meaning once you finished your legacy story, build up your MOST POWERFUL TEAM. You can all stock them up with the good stuff in their inventory and still use them once you made a new community. I highly suggest to get the following at least 3x of Bulk Plague Cures 100x plague samples 200x parts 3x F. Aid kits 6x C4 6x Scent block 4x 50 cal. Guns and Plague crafting item MOD. You can farm your weapons easily especially crossbows on lethal zone. They are mostly found on barns and campsites. Now this actually leads me to 2. Your skills and leader matters. Stealth is your true best friend in Lethal Zone. Silent kills and crouched sprints makes a lot of difference between life and death especially with a pack blood ferals. Marathon or backpacking allows you carry heavy loads without getting encumbered easily but I prefer Marathon over everything. On rare cases, I also pick Powerhouse for the instakill feature with heavy weapons. Insta-kills will also be your friend so I highly recommend to specialize on Swordplay or Close Combat coz both can insta-kill zombies once you mastered them. Lastly, in my opinion these are the most important 5th skills you need in order of priority. Auto mechanics Agriculture/Lichenology Pathology/Surgeon Munitions Electronics (Computer skill) Electricity (Utilities) Auto mechanics will help you utilize cars which is VERY RARE in lethal zone. Agriculture is a must because your community eats 2x food in lethal zone. You might wanna add Lichenology because its already a maxed herbalism skill with a perk of 2 meds per day instead of 1. Electronics and Munitions allows you to craft C4 charges and maximize your ammo and bomb crafting abilities. With 3 well placed C4 charges and a scentblock = Dead Plague heart and they never saw you coming ( not always tho and Blood Ferals can detect you even with scentblock). NOTE! You must wait for one C4 to pop before placing a new one. 3 simultaneous blast will only count as one. (Which is kinda dumb? 🤔🤔🤔😅) Utilities is for Hydroponics facility. Why is this important? This provides 9 food per day (with seeds and compost bin mod) whether indoors or outdoors. And it gives you flat 3 food if you don't have any gardener skill which is actually good! But if you have a Trader leader and large slots then go crazy to the farm facility. Now for the Leaders? You must have a TRADER! The Trader Depot facility will really save you in the entirety if the game! Builder will be next for the OP Sniper tower for Sniper Support that kills "Fuckernauts" easily and FAST! Warlord gives you the Armory facility that allows you to craft all types of ammo but not only that, with a level 3 Workshop plus Armory, you can craft 4 Ammo all the time. 3. Meagher Valley Yes, this is for me, your go-to Lethal Zone map. But feel free to try other maps too. The Squelones Brewery is your final base that you can totally ignore Whitney Field. Farming influence will help you kick start your supplies and needs to kill all the plague hearts in the Lethal Zone. Lastly... Guns will kill you outside your base. No matter how good is your silencer, those Zombies WILL HEAR YOU! NO MATTER WHAT! Only the crossbows and pyrolaunchers are the only exemption. Pyro lauchers instakills group of zombies at the least. But regardless, you want your base to be noisy. Why? Siege will grant you 200 influence (270 with satellite hacking) and free plague samples all the time! Thats what the 4 50 cal. Weapons are for. Those blood ferals and "Fuckernauts" wont stand a chance! You can always get some in the ammo trader. P.S. Dont let your community member have a Pyrolauncher equipped during sieges. I learned it the hardest way possible. So enjoy! Good luck, have fun!! Y'ALL GONNA NEED IT!!!
@@AGElite87 the forever community update totally changes everything but my top advice on skills and leader picks didnt change. The upcoming infestation update will also change everything again. I'll see first before making comments.
Light encumbrance! This has to be top 5. Run longer and with marathon, run forever. Get the ultra-light backpack, light weapons and escaping is easier. I have actually seen youtubers sell ultralight because it has two less slots. If anything, the more slots the heavier. I rather leave two items that will just sit in my locker than be dead.
I'm actually glad that undead labs have been on top of this gane with updates and seasonal content like Halloween, Christmas & so on. Update 33 I think it's called, ups the difficulty a bit more with the addition of dormant plague hearts and possible sieges if they go unchecked when they're woken up. Early in the game the biggest mistake we made was taking on mission near those dormant plague hearts & now in our server we're dealing with two plague hearts that have been woken from their slumber and now we have hordes setting up infestations near our base. Prepping a ton of fire bombs to take out the plague hearts that have woken up.
I recently learn that a loud n stealth strat is the best when playing coop Just perfect for quick runs for some rucksacks. Have a non-host drive the car infront of the building you want to loot and have him honk, maybe shoot from the roof of said car. Meanwhile the host goes around back and loots. Works for a getaway too. You simply honk at zombies that have your full of trauma friend stuck on a roof and lead them away while they just run the other way. Then you speed up and catch your friend on the way.
i have played this game over and over again for a long time (on PC), and this is what i do. i always use the 2 slots (belt) for meds and stamina. Never bring a follower you need or care about,(i call them "cannonfodder") they have improved the npcs behavour, but it is far from good, (better to go solo) only use "grapple" finisher when there is only 1 or 2, since it tends to fail about 7 times out of 10 (on PC) i always use silencer (unless i have the 50 cal cannon, then i dont care... realy, i dont.) builder legacy is realy good, you get the snipertower witch is realy good at taking down juggernaut (far better than the sniper allies provide). Trader legacy is also good choice at higher difficulties when things are harder to find
Good tips, but a tip I use for lethal, to deal with hostile enclave. Put a scentblock on and throw a jar of zombait, just watch it all go down, once a jug enters the enclave, they won't survive. Helps out definitely alot, instead of taking the enclave head on and losing your health rapidly
Not many people seem to know that you can use cars to block entrances to your gates, so you can control the siege and make chokepoints. Just do keep in mind that Zeds can still climb over fences and cars, Jugs can smash cars away and when you reload the game, there's good chance cars will be slightly moved eseted, so check out and park them back on entrance.
Tips for basic combat: CC; Use your environment and get up somewhere if needed, use windows to train, and fences to swap weapons and make distance. If you execute a jugg use the time you have riding him and get guns, heals, and organize. PvE; when fighting survivors on higher difficulty levels, use your car, not to run them over, but rather as a shield. Simply couch behind it, align with a enemy, wait for them to shoot or reload, then get easy headshots. Freaks; For ferals, use shotguns and blunt weapons, to stun and keep them at Bay, always be ready to dodge. Windows help separate them from the packs, since they are speedy and usually go in one at a time. Juggs are easy, use bladed weapons, full auto guns, STRONK GUNS, and shotguns, run circles when they charge, go for the head, and hit them from behind for Max damage and safety. Bloaters are walking gas container, keep distance, shoot them, or get somewhat close, then run away so they trip and fall like the parasites they are. And screamers...just knock them over so they can't scream. You can also make them pets if you want, since they can't attack. Plague hearts; use boom booms, heavy weapons (melee), full autos, shottys, and STRONK GUNS.
Little tips about when you 1v3 against Zeds with melee weapon and ''no'' dash : hit 1 zombie, change target, hit an other one, change target, hit the other one, and on and on until they die. It'll for most of the case stun the one you hit, and prevent one of the two others to hug you, and prevent the other one to try eating you too. I find that usefull !
When state of decay 3 drops i really hope player 2 in your server can do a lot more than they can do now. My friends dont like joining my server and i dont like joining theirs because player 2 gets a watered down version of the game. Hopefully friends joining your server can manage their own communities or start their own.
On a fresh lethal run when rolling characters, I think it's important that you should try and aim for characters whose traits will give important hero skills, and avoid wasting resources. Here's my first lethal run for a showcase of how things went when I favored traits with good hero skills. I rolled my characters in my first run to have two with 100% infection resistance hero skill (no other trait had hero skills attached to them, practically guaranteeing them), one from the good habits trait giving him a total 250% resistance total. My third survivor who was my unbreakable survivor had the trait ran a bed and breakfast skill, and got cooking skill and the meal plan (25% food reduction) hero skill from it. Thus with rationings 50% reduction, I only had to pay .5 food per person throughout the game almost immediately. Furthermore, (and this was pure luck) my one survivor who had no real good bonus other than the 100% infection resistance hero skill (gotten from the undertaker trait), managed to randomly roll the never been sick before trait, now having 300% infection resistance. Plus none of my starting three characters have any traits that make them waste resources for moral boosts, so those annoying events never pop up. It's absurd. Gave the two infection resistance members endurance and marathon, and they just go sprinting through the blood plague territory, with no stamina or health items, just some fuel bombs/molotovs (at the squelones brewery with a fuel loader giving 12 per 4 fuel, so I can just spam), firecrackers, and a light gun. blood ferals show up in a pack, and I just dump fire on them, and shoot them while their rolling around, or run away. Managed to find a beetle mallet and biochem station before I even destroyed my first plague heart, so my unbreakable character now has power house and striking, and he pops a scentblock and stamina regen item, throws a boombox/firework, and just wails on the plague hearts till it's dead. I also got a stabilizing foam mod, and often times rather than wasting medical supplies, I just use that on him to top up his health if it's dropped, since he has an absurd health pool (198) and no chance of injuries. He's basically nigh unkillable with the community 200% plague resistance, and can easily dispatch blood ferals with drop kick. So far I've only used a plague cure once, and that was before my characters had leveled up to hero and got the plague resistance bonus.
Hey bro, just started watching your streams. I really enjoy your vibe and all your tips. I keep taking breaks from the game and come back when new updates drop. I used to stream with my boy and even had UL host one of our streams. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see more.
On lethal the biggest challenge is the plague hearts. I’ve found the 5 round 50 cal is the most important tool in taking down the absurd amount of them around the map. Park your truck a good bit away. Usually takes about 15 shots to kill the heart. Then use energy drinks if needed to outrun any hoards or ferals to get back to your truck. If one follows you hop on the truck and take it out. Leave and come back in a bit to get the loot. Produce ammo as much as you can to make 50 cals. Chemicals seem to be a lot more common now which is nice.
My strategy with certain plague hearts is to stand on your/a car and kill it that way, zombies can't get to you that way In the case of a jug, get on a prop car, you know, the ones already destroyed that are just lying around Happy hunting ✌️
@@Alice-ej1wn Oh, dang. Because yeah I know they can move the driveable cars, but I thought they could still hit you when you're on the back of a prop pickup or so, cause they still hit me with theirs special blast on the ground... Mhh..
a little tip to kill feral with cars, let them climb on the back of your car (make sure that they don't climb on the top or on your doors) then drive backward to a wall to kill them.
just to make it clear , its not doing missions that up difficulty difficulty scales with Influence earned. killing plague hearts is a massive influence gain and killing specials can rack up the points to , but running around your base building cardio up wont.
The best tip is that you can store rucksacks in your REGULAR storage by using the enclave member trade interface. When you hover over the rucksack, you’ll see “unequip” below, press that and it’ll go to your inventory, allowing you to store them normally without car banks.
Great tips I play on lethal and I do most of this stuff as an everyday thing. But I did not know about you people becoming heros and that spawns feral hoards and other infected. Also I recommend giving all you characters at home base the best high damage guns you can find the timberwolf and other 50 cal weapons are the only way you can take on massive sieges if you base makes alot of noise.
When I first started playing the game I avoided using snacks, energy drinks, etc. as they use an inventory slot. However, I just recently started using snack bags and I regret not using them before hand. I'm coming out of fights on top and leaving POIs with an inventory and trunk full of loot and rucksacks. For any newcomers, don't underestimate your resources, use what you have especially in the right situations.
My fav tip was the grab and shove one, I had always done that and I've always taught my friends to do it as well 😂 but personally I only run close combat weapons and I never really keep plague cure on me because if I'm ever out, I just craft it on my base tab and can pick it up at an outpost at a moments notice. That's just what works for me tho, your tips were pretty good tho👍
Hey another tip on some survivors you can get the aim snap ability if you get stuck in a horde and you have a fast shooting gun spam the aim snap ability and whichever button it is to shoot depending on what you play on this will lock on a random enemy's head usually the closest and it does take stamina of cours this is very helpful on ferals because all you need is 1 headshot
A thing I found if you want a one survivor army is level them until they have the gunslinger perk and marathon. The snap shot can really save your ass if swarmed, and make ferals are a non issue.
I don't subscribe to many channels, my favorite channel for gaming is Git Gud Fox, love that guy. I just came across your channel, needless do I need to say, you're actually pretty good. I can actually get into your videos. Keep up the good work.
You forgot to mention that two of the most important things about the impaler and zedbuster is that they are two of the only (might be the only two, not sure) upgraded vehicles that you can get on top of. Also the Impaler, Zedbuster, and Utility Truck are the only cars that zombies can't attach to the front of.
If you're playing on lethal then this guide is for you, but if you're a badass loud dude, you can easily survive nightmare mode and below without these tips
Here is also a tip: If you have Daybreak, when you wanna recruit an operator, look for a horde or a juggernaut and bring them close but not near the meeting location (make sure the zombies are in the way of the nearest map leaving zone with the door icon as the operator will go there after) and if you don't like the operator, decline them, get your refund and lead the zombies to them. You can use the horn of a car for good measure. Then loot their corpse and they will always have a red talon weapon and a red talon backpack which is the best in the game.
Best combo on lethal Marathon Stealth Close combat Gunslinging. This saves a lot on resources. If you have a ultra light back back And light cross bow Means you can sti usually carry a decent amount and run without stamina drain. If you are over whelmed Jump over a fence then duck and run. Your stamina will still. Incrrase with marathon (or not deplete) when you are stealth running. Usually you can get away before the zeds can know when you've gone. I ninja entire hordes with just the knife. Your knife never breaks so you can always do the CC take down. The only real bugger is ferrals. You can Snap to aim with your cross bow... Stand on the top of a car etc Even when you run low on bolts you can usuay pick them up after a large horde battle. Use boaters to your advantage. Head shot them and throw a roll of crackers for a cheap explosion. A lot of plague hearts you can cheese. I've taken them down before by shooting through a window with a hunting cross bow... Takes about 80 bolts. In lethal equip an enteral guard with break it takes about 80 shots to take down a heart... And can do so before it burps. The best op eapon for clearing out infestations is the pyro launcher and the simple. Molatovs. Again I've taken down entire neighbourhoods of infestations in lethal with just a knife and molatovs and a cross bow bolt to break a window.
1) Locate the plague hearts from outside then take it out from the top of a vehicle using automatic fire weapons. This will protect you from all zombies except bloaters and juggernauts. 2) Take out packs from the top of vehicles. See #1 3) Have fire in your inventory. Firebombs are the best. 4) Have first aid kits and stimulants as well as plague cure. 5) Avoid night ops on lethal setting if you can.
I had a red talon soldier, I had woken up some plauge hearts, so I decided to go take them down, and do a few other missions in the process, one plauge heart had a ransacker's base nearby, so I popped them, I cheesed the second by blocking the door, the third a little harder, the fourth I had a mission to help kill one, now I had a chance to resupply after killing that fourth one, making a nearby outpost, and I did, I had made thousands of plauge cures, but I decided to fill my inventory with explosives and stamina items, full inventory, I drove over to the nearby plauge heart, attacked it a bit, got hit a few times, but then I finished it off, but not without getting the plauge, I realised I forgot to grab cures, I dashed back to my car, but then a mixture of a curveball that made my car slow to start and three blood ferals, my car got blown, out of stamina items, no plauge cure, deep in plauge territory, fatigued, and no nearby outpost in sight, wiht the only outpost I could make costing too much influence, no amount of running could save me, the moral of the story? Never overextended, when you have the chance to switch characters and resupply, take your time, and always carry plauge cures, RIP Ally, you were a real one...
Great tips here, particularly the one about reversing into zomboids, I'd never have realised! A minor thing because I do voice stuff for a living, this style of editing out pauses sounds kind of nerve-wracking to me. It's sometimes like the speaker is just in the middle of a thousand-word sentence without breathing. I dig that this is a popular style, but I dunno, just mentioning it because this video made me think of it in particular.
my tips just playing daybreak with your friend, that thing will teach you in hard way but will increase your combat capability very drastically. also, you can earn prestige to buy cleo weapon Note here: Cleo weapon and red talon weapon are different, Cleo weapon are exclusive if you buy it in prestige trader or by Cleo drop at red talon fob (and must be unlock in daybreak). and red talon weapon you can buy it at red talon trader. all Cleo weapons use 1 type of ammo, and red talon weapon use ammo that is same as normal weapon. so that make sense why we can't make Cleo ammo at red talon workshop
Grab and shove is a good tactic but if you have swordplay i'd prefer sweeping their legs, it's more efficient and they stay down. Also, one tip I've used since day 1 when this game came out is Stealth and Gunslinging can be used for just about every situation. Especially with Blood Ferals, gunslinging can't get enough praise.
When you're a sheriff leader you can use field hospital and infirmary to get 100 infection resistance so you can free your pockets up for painkillers and stimulants. Later on or with backpacking you can swap or add painkillers for first aid kits. And I also never leave without a stack of ammo
@@SunnyGamesYT mm I see. I haven't done a sheriff in a while though, makes sense that I would miss it. So there's no possible way to get fully immune to the blood plague anymore?
Get on top of your car. There are plenty of times that I'm pressed by a horde, and I just run back and get on my car. Some, zombies can hit you from the side, but trucks are the best in this case. You can hop up top and if you are close to the back, access the trunk. Then, just clear the zombies off with your silenced weapon or hop off and clear a few then get back on. Works for most plague hearts as well. Find the heart, park outside the building, hop on top and open fire and use grenades/molotovs. No threat, dead heart, move on.
I like you…you earned my sub! The video was nice, simple, and easy to follow! I appreciate this video, I’ve been getting back into SoD2 recently as well
What I do with enclaves is either grande into the base area and pre light fireworks or any other distractions far away or I Rambo style with a quiet assault shotgun
my tips are 1# if u do new community grab all u need to 3 people inventory and take that people 2# give weapon u dont need with one bullet to survivors when siege comes they have full ammo and blast zombies with no problem 3# take survivors with free experience slot if u find a book u can get very good start in the game
Yeah , I completely forget the fact ie when we've got Blood Plague we always try to get back to the base instead of going to the nearest outpost and character swapping. Most players make mistakes because of panic . Thanks
Car roof saves lives 😁, one other sad tip is to log out and back in. This will push zeds over 50m back but be cearful they are still there. The sniper Help with that problem is good. Yeah when you sit on your car roof with no ammo and one stamina shot with 40 zeds around it feel like the end.
@@clouduslakestream8781 There can only be a certain number of hearts on the map at a time, so when you clear some up new hearts will generate in random locations
You don't need red talon to be good at this game just look for regular survivors with the unbreakable trait or incredible immune system, lmk if anyone needs help I'm usually on most days
Finally managed to complete a sherif legacy in nightmare the other day without losing anyone only been trying for 6 months constantly restarting 🤣 but yeah id say make sure you get someone who is a mechanic as they can craft toolboxes as they can be pretty scares and possibly always start with a craftsmen so when you upgrade your workshop you can make crossbows and salvage all weapons you don't use for all them parts
My Fav= FIREWORKS! Beep the horn like crazy luring 30 in and set that baby off and it sets em on fire or molotov em. C4 near plague heart and wait till the room if full. usually 2-3 samples on top of carnage.
@@SunnyGamesYT True but I started off grinding Daybreak Operators which most of the time they provide no labor so I went a while with a community of 5 providing 2 Labor. Only 2 that were providing labor was 1 of the 4 Daybreak Operators and 1 of the Red Talon Operators. Luckily I ended up recruiting 3 more Red Talon Operators with one providing +3 Labor.

I literally bought Decay 2 yesterday after debating it for a while. I love it.
I did 3 weeks ago, played it every night since, dont remember being so much into a game in a while
Same, bought it after a coworker begged me and much procrastinating. Great game so far alot to learn asap.
@@bajanking7894 yes i find the mechanics so immersive
I just started playing it and love it! Glad it was on gamepass!
Damn bro it was free on Xbox for sooo long
Love this game... I hope in state of decay 3 they allow players that play coop to each have their own base and their own communities.
I thought of that yesterday 😆
@@OPROSEBUD you can do something similar to that with Project Zomboid multiplayer. A different game of course but same idea
@@ToxicTheEagle project zomboid is awesome just requires a pc
Just like gta v every one in same map but everyone see their business
Sod 3 is said to just be a better version of sod 2 like how they did it with the first game and second game. That means a bigger map, more maps, better house with new loot, new weapons new guns, hopefully 2 more new zombies with zombie animals. New characters, with different traits and new specialist system.. pretty much this etc. Also a new better base system with different buildings.
My tips: 1) Stash your bags in vehicles parked around your base. It will help to save itens to not be wasted, when at max storage capacity! 2) Select 3 characters before the end game mission and fill their inventory with the best itens, best weapons, best base upgrades and bags, to begin the other map, at best capacity (i love to start with my chars equiped with my beloved silenced timberwolf, that kills almost anything with one shot)! 3) Utilize books to change some of your abilities or learn new ones! 4) At characters selection, you can keep searching for chars with special abilities like dont need bed for sleeping, provide more beds, produce more food, etc, for facilitate your base sustentability and best usage of base spaces! 5) Ask your friends to help make a base transplant of the most important items, before you change the map! Its super easy to do, just use your friends inventory and vehicles to stash your most important items before end game, so you can have a new beginning, kicking ass! XD 6) Use zombies to kill other comunitys or vendors (after you buy the items of your interest) and take their loot! Good to take those nice weapons they carry around! Just use noise devices, zombie bait or atract plague hordes to do the job!
Just Started playing and these are golden. Thank you!
Nice tips but a lot of these then defeat the purpose of looting and searching for useful survivors. Following these tips cuts out a portion of the game. No hate intended but for someone like me that enjoys grinding this game out, these tips dont help me.
@@AngryScotsman94 👍
Thee tips are pretty basic. I wouldn't call them tips.
Why only select 3 characters when u could fill all ur survivor best gear so when legacy ends they all be save on list and they have best items.its 4 months ago so maybe this feature not avail at that time but all your survivor on community will be save at the end of legacy so fill them best items.
Here is my tip:
Use the fences, specially in large groups just run away and jump a fence or a wall,
Zeds will have a hard time jumping obstacles, they get separated and most of the times you get an easy execution for the first couple of zeds that land on your side.
Repeat the process and now you have thin the herd to a level you can manage more easily.
Finally a GOOD tip.
I hate when people's tips are tips you used to use when you were only a Lil lad barley starting the game you know what I mean?
the only hard part is buliding a base it’s a struggle
I really hope state of decay 3 has a little bit more parkour
Like not dying light but atleast jumping across gaps and shit
@@zanderrobson6512 or just a proper jump system. jumping is completely cosmetic in sod2
A tip for killing plague hearts: Throw one bloater gas grenade,and then one Molotov right after. Kills the plague heart in less than 5 seconds even on nightmare difficultly.
Tip 2: If you cut the legs of all the zombies in your sight and all around the plague heart, no more can spawn in. Try to attract as many zombies as possible to your location when you do this and cut their legs. DO NOT KILL THEM. And crawler zombies are practically harmless. Just don't move too much around or more will spawn in. Try to stay in one small area near the heart. Then you can be as loud as you want.
With these tactics I killed 10 plague hearts on nightmare difficulty in one day. I killed 4 hearts with a single character. Didn't have to switch until they got blood plague after the last heart. They are alive so don't worry.
This is great advice. Something I’ve done lately on higher difficulties for plague hearts is using the roof of a car to snipe through windows. You’ll build up a massive horde but after the plague heart pops you can take out any ferals or strays with headshots. Takes a lot of ammo but it’s good for people who can’t manage crowd control very well (me).
imo best way to clear hearts are explosives, like pipebombs or granades. Hearts are destroyed so fast you dont even have to fight off any zombies as they die with the heart
@@wasgehtdichdasan9811 On lethal zone the zeds don't die even if the hearth is destroyed
On lethal heart's got bullet and explosion damage proofed. They take less damage from these, BUT molotov's, gaz bombs and willie pete're still making good job
Yep! This game has gotten WAAAAAAY harder. over the past 2 years I have completed to game with 11 survivors 5 of them had been through every map a few times I went back to the game recently & during a horde invasion my character was torn apart. What's worse is that this character was the main one I use. Was devastated
Yeah seems like plenty zombies on higher diff
o7
One big tip I’d add is: bloater gas is flammable and *very* explosive. It can be gas from an actual bloater or a bloater gas grenade and it can be ignited by incendiaries (like molotovs) or even with items like flares. If you can get a blood plague bloater to burst next to a plague heart and then explode the gas, you can one-shot a plague heart (even in lethal zone!)
how do you get the bloater to the heart?
You can even ignite the bloater explosion after hitting the heart.
The gas from the heart can ignite it also.
the foundation of this game is very nice and has so much potential to be better.
Found out about the grab and shove yesterday while doing the “have 10 zeds killed by a teammate while grappled” bounty, never realised it’s potential
One small thing I suggest that might be helpful from time to time especially when resources are low is use bandages when healing at your base and save pain meds for exploring.
I use 2lvl infirmary for passive recovery, it really makes sense, and if you will get a survivor with medicine ability, surgery - recovery will be much faster, tested on dread difficulty, planning on defeating the game on lethal
I try to always have at least 2 expendable survivors. You don't have to choose between risking a survivor you want to keep and having support. Mine personally have suppressed BAR's (there's better options, that's just the best I have), and I don't have to sneak around nearly as much as I used to. They are also useful for plague hearts, hostile enclaves, and difficult missions.
Actually, I might say that the Bar's the most precise and usefull weapon when used by npc or ourselves... I always use this weapon on a npc to follow me and helps to destroys PH.. The looter's m4 is good, but the npc's don't full auto when they're able to burst and the damage it deals isn't very good. PLUS the timberwolf's great for PH BUT, it attracts a lot, NPC's are as smart as a wet potato that they almost got down instant, the bar's a good option for ''crowd'' control by the npc, and ph killing. That's what I think
I switched from xbox one s to series s for playing sod2, and couldn't be happier. No more zombies spawning directly in front of my car, and having a bunch of zombies on the screen doesn't lag my game anymore. YAY!
Damn you got the new console? I'm still waiting to get mine haha
It's crazy how over time the game has really grown on me, I've had some of the most epic moments on Nightmare and Lethal. It's all I've been playing for the last few months.
I’ve found that it’s really helpful to have a starting character with the “immortal” trait which gives a major starting health boost
Is it basically like "unbreakable" with the +40 hp and %100 less likely to get injured?
It’s the best health stat in game , my immortal has yet to die in lethal zone just annoying you have to keep rolling for it
@@swoleman6857 It's actually the exact same as unbreakable but worse injury severity. Still amazing to have however
Ah you lucky bastard 😂
Two other tips I would add that are situational.
1. If you have them, equip raider weapons on your community members you are not currently using. I equip them all with .50 guns, but for those who don't have enough or any, guns that only shoot automatic are good second options, regardless of the caliber.
2. (This one really nerfs every difficulty) Knowledge of Pathology and at least one Sheriff in your community can allow you a base setup to completely disregard blood plague. Any non starting base will allow for a level 3 infirmary and field hospital. Activating primary care at both buildings at the same time will grant immunity to blood plague for every community member for one hour. This won't work when you are in someone else's game.
A tip I have for fighting enemy enclaves/humans, draw in zeds and let them weaken the enemy for you, drive past with your horn blaring, throw zed bait etc and either keep away from the combat as best you can, or get to a point where the zeds can not see/detect you.
Take something like AK-47, grab your gunslinger and use snap ability and it will instantly blow their head. To be safe, drop molotov or napalm at them, so they are distracted, so you don't get headshot yourself.
Just beat both of the games (only one play through each) and I actually really like them! Can't believe i've been looking over the series this long
Gunslinging is also a big help, or Warfighting if Red Talon
I hate gunslinging because when I try to shoot a certain zombie it automatically locks on to a zombie that I wasn't aiming at, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't, its random and its annoying.
@Le kitty Le caty 💥
Just got a series s and this was one of the first games I tried off gamepass, so much fun!
+11. Dodge without directional input makes u backstep and you can chain it into a counterattack unique to every weapon type. CQC can instakill zombies this way with a knife.
Not anymore
My tip is to use sound to your advantage when the situation calls for it. If you have a difficult hostile enclave you need to get rid of stealthily approach their house and place noise makers. Boom boxes. Firecrackers. Fireworks. Whatever. Get outta dodge and watch and wait from a distance. Possibly use scentblock. The zombies in the area will swarm the enclave doing most of the hard work for you. Use throwables if you have them. Grenades and the like. Hop in a vehicle and take out the rest of the zombies and any weakened survivors. Unless you like the combat, that is. I like screwing over the enemy enclaves. Same tactic for plague hearts. Place noisemakers and draw most of them out and take out the remaining zombies and the plague heart as much as you can before the sound wears out and the start to come back to protect the heart.
Just for the community to know, I've finished my 2nd Lethal Zone run and my legacy boons are Trader and Builder which will make A LOT of difference to your gameplay.
My tips for a strong starter community are...
1. Build your powerhouse community.
Meaning once you finished your legacy story, build up your MOST POWERFUL TEAM. You can all stock them up with the good stuff in their inventory and still use them once you made a new community. I highly suggest to get the following at least
3x of Bulk Plague Cures
100x plague samples
200x parts
3x F. Aid kits
6x C4
6x Scent block
4x 50 cal. Guns
and Plague crafting item MOD.
You can farm your weapons easily especially crossbows on lethal zone. They are mostly found on barns and campsites.
Now this actually leads me to
2. Your skills and leader matters.
Stealth is your true best friend in Lethal Zone. Silent kills and crouched sprints makes a lot of difference between life and death especially with a pack blood ferals.
Marathon or backpacking allows you carry heavy loads without getting encumbered easily but I prefer Marathon over everything. On rare cases, I also pick Powerhouse for the instakill feature with heavy weapons.
Insta-kills will also be your friend so I highly recommend to specialize on Swordplay or Close Combat coz both can insta-kill zombies once you mastered them.
Lastly, in my opinion these are the most important 5th skills you need in order of priority.
Auto mechanics
Agriculture/Lichenology
Pathology/Surgeon
Munitions
Electronics (Computer skill)
Electricity (Utilities)
Auto mechanics will help you utilize cars which is VERY RARE in lethal zone. Agriculture is a must because your community eats 2x food in lethal zone. You might wanna add Lichenology because its already a maxed herbalism skill with a perk of 2 meds per day instead of 1.
Electronics and Munitions allows you to craft C4 charges and maximize your ammo and bomb crafting abilities. With 3 well placed C4 charges and a scentblock = Dead Plague heart and they never saw you coming ( not always tho and Blood Ferals can detect you even with scentblock).
NOTE!
You must wait for one C4 to pop before placing a new one. 3 simultaneous blast will only count as one. (Which is kinda dumb? 🤔🤔🤔😅)
Utilities is for Hydroponics facility. Why is this important? This provides 9 food per day (with seeds and compost bin mod) whether indoors or outdoors. And it gives you flat 3 food if you don't have any gardener skill which is actually good! But if you have a Trader leader and large slots then go crazy to the farm facility.
Now for the Leaders? You must have a TRADER! The Trader Depot facility will really save you in the entirety if the game! Builder will be next for the OP Sniper tower for Sniper Support that kills "Fuckernauts" easily and FAST! Warlord gives you the Armory facility that allows you to craft all types of ammo but not only that, with a level 3 Workshop plus Armory, you can craft 4 Ammo all the time.
3. Meagher Valley
Yes, this is for me, your go-to Lethal Zone map. But feel free to try other maps too. The Squelones Brewery is your final base that you can totally ignore Whitney Field. Farming influence will help you kick start your supplies and needs to kill all the plague hearts in the Lethal Zone.
Lastly...
Guns will kill you outside your base.
No matter how good is your silencer, those Zombies WILL HEAR YOU! NO MATTER WHAT! Only the crossbows and pyrolaunchers are the only exemption. Pyro lauchers instakills group of zombies at the least. But regardless, you want your base to be noisy. Why? Siege will grant you 200 influence (270 with satellite hacking) and free plague samples all the time! Thats what the 4 50 cal. Weapons are for. Those blood ferals and "Fuckernauts" wont stand a chance! You can always get some in the ammo trader.
P.S. Dont let your community member have a Pyrolauncher equipped during sieges. I learned it the hardest way possible.
So enjoy! Good luck, have fun!! Y'ALL GONNA NEED IT!!!
Great advice could not have said it better myself!
@@AGElite87 the forever community update totally changes everything but my top advice on skills and leader picks didnt change.
The upcoming infestation update will also change everything again. I'll see first before making comments.
Light encumbrance! This has to be top 5. Run longer and with marathon, run forever. Get the ultra-light backpack, light weapons and escaping is easier. I have actually seen youtubers sell ultralight because it has two less slots. If anything, the more slots the heavier. I rather leave two items that will just sit in my locker than be dead.
I'm actually glad that undead labs have been on top of this gane with updates and seasonal content like Halloween, Christmas & so on.
Update 33 I think it's called, ups the difficulty a bit more with the addition of dormant plague hearts and possible sieges if they go unchecked when they're woken up.
Early in the game the biggest mistake we made was taking on mission near those dormant plague hearts & now in our server we're dealing with two plague hearts that have been woken from their slumber and now we have hordes setting up infestations near our base. Prepping a ton of fire bombs to take out the plague hearts that have woken up.
I recently learn that a loud n stealth strat is the best when playing coop
Just perfect for quick runs for some rucksacks. Have a non-host drive the car infront of the building you want to loot and have him honk, maybe shoot from the roof of said car. Meanwhile the host goes around back and loots.
Works for a getaway too. You simply honk at zombies that have your full of trauma friend stuck on a roof and lead them away while they just run the other way. Then you speed up and catch your friend on the way.
I am new to this game and I was overwhelmed with so many options to choose from! Thanks for the tips!
i have played this game over and over again for a long time (on PC), and this is what i do. i always use the 2 slots (belt) for meds and stamina. Never bring a follower you need or care about,(i call them "cannonfodder") they have improved the npcs behavour, but it is far from good, (better to go solo) only use "grapple" finisher when there is only 1 or 2, since it tends to fail about 7 times out of 10 (on PC) i always use silencer (unless i have the 50 cal cannon, then i dont care... realy, i dont.)
builder legacy is realy good, you get the snipertower witch is realy good at taking down juggernaut (far better than the sniper allies provide). Trader legacy is also good choice at higher difficulties when things are harder to find
Good tips, but a tip I use for lethal, to deal with hostile enclave. Put a scentblock on and throw a jar of zombait, just watch it all go down, once a jug enters the enclave, they won't survive. Helps out definitely alot, instead of taking the enclave head on and losing your health rapidly
Not many people seem to know that you can use cars to block entrances to your gates, so you can control the siege and make chokepoints. Just do keep in mind that Zeds can still climb over fences and cars, Jugs can smash cars away and when you reload the game, there's good chance cars will be slightly moved
eseted, so check out and park them back on entrance.
Tips for basic combat: CC; Use your environment and get up somewhere if needed, use windows to train, and fences to swap weapons and make distance. If you execute a jugg use the time you have riding him and get guns, heals, and organize. PvE; when fighting survivors on higher difficulty levels, use your car, not to run them over, but rather as a shield. Simply couch behind it, align with a enemy, wait for them to shoot or reload, then get easy headshots. Freaks; For ferals, use shotguns and blunt weapons, to stun and keep them at Bay, always be ready to dodge. Windows help separate them from the packs, since they are speedy and usually go in one at a time. Juggs are easy, use bladed weapons, full auto guns, STRONK GUNS, and shotguns, run circles when they charge, go for the head, and hit them from behind for Max damage and safety. Bloaters are walking gas container, keep distance, shoot them, or get somewhat close, then run away so they trip and fall like the parasites they are. And screamers...just knock them over so they can't scream. You can also make them pets if you want, since they can't attack. Plague hearts; use boom booms, heavy weapons (melee), full autos, shottys, and STRONK GUNS.
Little tips about when you 1v3 against Zeds with melee weapon and ''no'' dash : hit 1 zombie, change target, hit an other one, change target, hit the other one, and on and on until they die.
It'll for most of the case stun the one you hit, and prevent one of the two others to hug you, and prevent the other one to try eating you too. I find that usefull !
Yeah I find myself pinballing attacks between different targets when in a mob, especially if I'm using a blunt weapon, and it keeps me pretty safe.
When state of decay 3 drops i really hope player 2 in your server can do a lot more than they can do now. My friends dont like joining my server and i dont like joining theirs because player 2 gets a watered down version of the game. Hopefully friends joining your server can manage their own communities or start their own.
👍
I love SoD2 and can't wait for SoD3. Thank you for ur videos appreciate it.
the grab and shove is definitely the most practical and useful tip on here and kudos for the tactful placement of it at the end of the video
On a fresh lethal run when rolling characters, I think it's important that you should try and aim for characters whose traits will give important hero skills, and avoid wasting resources.
Here's my first lethal run for a showcase of how things went when I favored traits with good hero skills.
I rolled my characters in my first run to have two with 100% infection resistance hero skill (no other trait had hero skills attached to them, practically guaranteeing them), one from the good habits trait giving him a total 250% resistance total. My third survivor who was my unbreakable survivor had the trait ran a bed and breakfast skill, and got cooking skill and the meal plan (25% food reduction) hero skill from it. Thus with rationings 50% reduction, I only had to pay .5 food per person throughout the game almost immediately. Furthermore, (and this was pure luck) my one survivor who had no real good bonus other than the 100% infection resistance hero skill (gotten from the undertaker trait), managed to randomly roll the never been sick before trait, now having 300% infection resistance. Plus none of my starting three characters have any traits that make them waste resources for moral boosts, so those annoying events never pop up.
It's absurd. Gave the two infection resistance members endurance and marathon, and they just go sprinting through the blood plague territory, with no stamina or health items, just some fuel bombs/molotovs (at the squelones brewery with a fuel loader giving 12 per 4 fuel, so I can just spam), firecrackers, and a light gun. blood ferals show up in a pack, and I just dump fire on them, and shoot them while their rolling around, or run away.
Managed to find a beetle mallet and biochem station before I even destroyed my first plague heart, so my unbreakable character now has power house and striking, and he pops a scentblock and stamina regen item, throws a boombox/firework, and just wails on the plague hearts till it's dead. I also got a stabilizing foam mod, and often times rather than wasting medical supplies, I just use that on him to top up his health if it's dropped, since he has an absurd health pool (198) and no chance of injuries. He's basically nigh unkillable with the community 200% plague resistance, and can easily dispatch blood ferals with drop kick.
So far I've only used a plague cure once, and that was before my characters had leveled up to hero and got the plague resistance bonus.
Hey bro, just started watching your streams. I really enjoy your vibe and all your tips. I keep taking breaks from the game and come back when new updates drop. I used to stream with my boy and even had UL host one of our streams. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see more.
I've been checking out YT for new player guides and tips - this was my favorite and the most helpful, and it's from 2021! Subscribed. Cheers!
On lethal the biggest challenge is the plague hearts. I’ve found the 5 round 50 cal is the most important tool in taking down the absurd amount of them around the map. Park your truck a good bit away. Usually takes about 15 shots to kill the heart. Then use energy drinks if needed to outrun any hoards or ferals to get back to your truck. If one follows you hop on the truck and take it out. Leave and come back in a bit to get the loot. Produce ammo as much as you can to make 50 cals. Chemicals seem to be a lot more common now which is nice.
My strategy with certain plague hearts is to stand on your/a car and kill it that way, zombies can't get to you that way
In the case of a jug, get on a prop car, you know, the ones already destroyed that are just lying around
Happy hunting ✌️
Isn't the props making the jug able to hit you still ?
@@irkendilriam36 props no if you stand in the certain place, jug can't move props either, only driveable cars 😉
@@Alice-ej1wn Oh, dang. Because yeah I know they can move the driveable cars, but I thought they could still hit you when you're on the back of a prop pickup or so, cause they still hit me with theirs special blast on the ground... Mhh..
@@irkendilriam36 sometimes they can, it's happened to me but if you're on the roof they rarely will ☺️ I use this technique a LOT
a little tip to kill feral with cars, let them climb on the back of your car (make sure that they don't climb on the top or on your doors) then drive backward to a wall to kill them.
just to make it clear , its not doing missions that up difficulty difficulty scales with Influence earned. killing plague hearts is a massive influence gain and killing specials can rack up the points to , but running around your base building cardio up wont.
The best tip is that you can store rucksacks in your REGULAR storage by using the enclave member trade interface.
When you hover over the rucksack, you’ll see “unequip” below, press that and it’ll go to your inventory, allowing you to store them normally without car banks.
Great tips I play on lethal and I do most of this stuff as an everyday thing. But I did not know about you people becoming heros and that spawns feral hoards and other infected. Also I recommend giving all you characters at home base the best high damage guns you can find the timberwolf and other 50 cal weapons are the only way you can take on massive sieges if you base makes alot of noise.
When I first started playing the game I avoided using snacks, energy drinks, etc. as they use an inventory slot. However, I just recently started using snack bags and I regret not using them before hand. I'm coming out of fights on top and leaving POIs with an inventory and trunk full of loot and rucksacks. For any newcomers, don't underestimate your resources, use what you have especially in the right situations.
Watched this video trying to decide if I wanted to try this series. Great video, downloading game now and subbed 👍 👌
Such a underrated game
My fav tip was the grab and shove one, I had always done that and I've always taught my friends to do it as well 😂 but personally I only run close combat weapons and I never really keep plague cure on me because if I'm ever out, I just craft it on my base tab and can pick it up at an outpost at a moments notice. That's just what works for me tho, your tips were pretty good tho👍
Your voice is gamer voice. Gives me that "my head is probz sideways and mouth wide open screaming all of this" vibe. Love it. Subbed
Hey another tip on some survivors you can get the aim snap ability if you get stuck in a horde and you have a fast shooting gun spam the aim snap ability and whichever button it is to shoot depending on what you play on this will lock on a random enemy's head usually the closest and it does take stamina of cours this is very helpful on ferals because all you need is 1 headshot
Another small tip, drop the rucksack when fleeing is difficult and you have to fight. Helps in stamina management.
My friend is new, so this video was great for him! Thanks Sunny 👍🏽
A thing I found if you want a one survivor army is level them until they have the gunslinger perk and marathon. The snap shot can really save your ass if swarmed, and make ferals are a non issue.
"Stealth is important. Use arrows or at least silenced weapons"
Me: *Laughs in automatic shotgun with 200 rounds each outing*
I don't subscribe to many channels, my favorite channel for gaming is Git Gud Fox, love that guy. I just came across your channel, needless do I need to say, you're actually pretty good. I can actually get into your videos. Keep up the good work.
You forgot to mention that two of the most important things about the impaler and zedbuster is that they are two of the only (might be the only two, not sure) upgraded vehicles that you can get on top of. Also the Impaler, Zedbuster, and Utility Truck are the only cars that zombies can't attach to the front of.
If you're playing on lethal then this guide is for you, but if you're a badass loud dude, you can easily survive nightmare mode and below without these tips
Played this game for so long now but the plague cure tip is such a good tip for beginners and experts
Just found this channel. Getting back into SoD2. Think I’ll stick around.
Anyone here 2024?
Started 2 days ago been alive for 9 days so far
Yes I've had the game sense it came out an I've played sod1 alot yet still haven't beat nightmare
Just started yesterday
Filter by new dumbahh
This game was worth every penny.
Here is also a tip: If you have Daybreak, when you wanna recruit an operator, look for a horde or a juggernaut and bring them close but not near the meeting location (make sure the zombies are in the way of the nearest map leaving zone with the door icon as the operator will go there after) and if you don't like the operator, decline them, get your refund and lead the zombies to them. You can use the horn of a car for good measure. Then loot their corpse and they will always have a red talon weapon and a red talon backpack which is the best in the game.
Best combo on lethal
Marathon
Stealth
Close combat
Gunslinging.
This saves a lot on resources.
If you have a ultra light back back
And light cross bow
Means you can sti usually carry a decent amount and run without stamina drain.
If you are over whelmed
Jump over a fence then duck and run.
Your stamina will still. Incrrase with marathon (or not deplete) when you are stealth running.
Usually you can get away before the zeds can know when you've gone.
I ninja entire hordes with just the knife.
Your knife never breaks so you can always do the CC take down.
The only real bugger is ferrals.
You can Snap to aim with your cross bow...
Stand on the top of a car etc
Even when you run low on bolts you can usuay pick them up after a large horde battle.
Use boaters to your advantage.
Head shot them and throw a roll of crackers for a cheap explosion.
A lot of plague hearts you can cheese.
I've taken them down before by shooting through a window with a hunting cross bow... Takes about 80 bolts.
In lethal equip an enteral guard with break it takes about 80 shots to take down a heart... And can do so before it burps.
The best op eapon for clearing out infestations is the pyro launcher and the simple. Molatovs.
Again I've taken down entire neighbourhoods of infestations in lethal with just a knife and molatovs and a cross bow bolt to break a window.
1) Locate the plague hearts from outside then take it out from the top of a vehicle using automatic fire weapons. This will protect you from all zombies except bloaters and juggernauts.
2) Take out packs from the top of vehicles. See #1
3) Have fire in your inventory. Firebombs are the best.
4) Have first aid kits and stimulants as well as plague cure.
5) Avoid night ops on lethal setting if you can.
I had a red talon soldier, I had woken up some plauge hearts, so I decided to go take them down, and do a few other missions in the process, one plauge heart had a ransacker's base nearby, so I popped them, I cheesed the second by blocking the door, the third a little harder, the fourth I had a mission to help kill one, now I had a chance to resupply after killing that fourth one, making a nearby outpost, and I did, I had made thousands of plauge cures, but I decided to fill my inventory with explosives and stamina items, full inventory, I drove over to the nearby plauge heart, attacked it a bit, got hit a few times, but then I finished it off, but not without getting the plauge, I realised I forgot to grab cures, I dashed back to my car, but then a mixture of a curveball that made my car slow to start and three blood ferals, my car got blown, out of stamina items, no plauge cure, deep in plauge territory, fatigued, and no nearby outpost in sight, wiht the only outpost I could make costing too much influence, no amount of running could save me, the moral of the story? Never overextended, when you have the chance to switch characters and resupply, take your time, and always carry plauge cures, RIP Ally, you were a real one...
Great tips here, particularly the one about reversing into zomboids, I'd never have realised!
A minor thing because I do voice stuff for a living, this style of editing out pauses sounds kind of nerve-wracking to me. It's sometimes like the speaker is just in the middle of a thousand-word sentence without breathing. I dig that this is a popular style, but I dunno, just mentioning it because this video made me think of it in particular.
my tips just playing daybreak with your friend, that thing will teach you in hard way but will increase your combat capability very drastically. also, you can earn prestige to buy cleo weapon Note here: Cleo weapon and red talon weapon are different, Cleo weapon are exclusive if you buy it in prestige trader or by Cleo drop at red talon fob (and must be unlock in daybreak). and red talon weapon you can buy it at red talon trader. all Cleo weapons use 1 type of ammo, and red talon weapon use ammo that is same as normal weapon. so that make sense why we can't make Cleo ammo at red talon workshop
Grab and shove is a good tactic but if you have swordplay i'd prefer sweeping their legs, it's more efficient and they stay down. Also, one tip I've used since day 1 when this game came out is Stealth and Gunslinging can be used for just about every situation. Especially with Blood Ferals, gunslinging can't get enough praise.
New Sub, Keep up the good work 💯
When you're a sheriff leader you can use field hospital and infirmary to get 100 infection resistance so you can free your pockets up for painkillers and stimulants. Later on or with backpacking you can swap or add painkillers for first aid kits. And I also never leave without a stack of ammo
I also forgot to add that shotguns are good on everything except plague hearts and juggies
This has been nerfed in update 30
@@SunnyGamesYT mm I see. I haven't done a sheriff in a while though, makes sense that I would miss it.
So there's no possible way to get fully immune to the blood plague anymore?
I got state of decay 2 as birthday gift this week and we've been playing a lot of it it's been really fun
Get on top of your car. There are plenty of times that I'm pressed by a horde, and I just run back and get on my car. Some, zombies can hit you from the side, but trucks are the best in this case. You can hop up top and if you are close to the back, access the trunk. Then, just clear the zombies off with your silenced weapon or hop off and clear a few then get back on.
Works for most plague hearts as well. Find the heart, park outside the building, hop on top and open fire and use grenades/molotovs. No threat, dead heart, move on.
Great Vid! New Sub Added! Another thing is wasting a Zed with your vehicle door does zero damage to your vehicle. Keep up the good work. Cheer! 😁👍👏💯🍻
0:50 rookie mistake never stop a car if a bloater got you, drive as fast as you can and then drop yourself
Good tips, u got a sub 👍can't wait to see ur SOD3 vids
Zombait or bloater granads at hostles is super fun.
I started a lethal playthrough yesterday, I severely underestimated how hard it is
hey does anyone know why words appear on my screen whenever i play online and someone uses their mic
I.will be coming back into the game via game pass ultimate in a few days. Thanks for the tips and reminders.
Just started this game and I love it. 🔥
I like you…you earned my sub! The video was nice, simple, and easy to follow! I appreciate this video, I’ve been getting back into SoD2 recently as well
What I do with enclaves is either grande into the base area and pre light fireworks or any other distractions far away or I Rambo style with a quiet assault shotgun
my tips are 1# if u do new community grab all u need to 3 people inventory and take that people
2# give weapon u dont need with one bullet to survivors when siege comes they have full ammo and blast zombies with no problem
3# take survivors with free experience slot if u find a book u can get very good start in the game
This was pretty helpful. Thanks
The best tips i have actually is to watch your videos. :)
Yeah , I completely forget the fact ie when we've got Blood Plague we always try to get back to the base instead of going to the nearest outpost and character swapping. Most players make mistakes because of panic . Thanks
Car roof saves lives 😁, one other sad tip is to log out and back in. This will push zeds over 50m back but be cearful they are still there. The sniper Help with that problem is good. Yeah when you sit on your car roof with no ammo and one stamina shot with 40 zeds around it feel like the end.
Thanks dude. This is helpful 👍
Bloater gas grenade + fireworks or incendiary grenades = high damage explosion perfect for taking out plague hearts.
Thanks Sunny!
Btw, I just beat the last Plague heart on my lethal world, totaling 37 hearts.. is that normal?
Not that common but certainly possible, I once had 42 hearts on my Providence Ridge map.
What about respawning hearts? Found hearts in former outposts and areas I know for sure was cleared before.
@@clouduslakestream8781 There can only be a certain number of hearts on the map at a time, so when you clear some up new hearts will generate in random locations
I thought it was 17-18 so I was really shocked 😂
It was cool.. but itd be cooler if you showed examples of each to help choose what better fits our play style. Thanks bud!
You don't need red talon to be good at this game just look for regular survivors with the unbreakable trait or incredible immune system, lmk if anyone needs help I'm usually on most days
Iv yet to find an unbreakable survivor, played through each legacy on each difficulty so I don’t think I ever will either lol
Been playing state of decay 2 for about 10 months now and i have not found an unbreakable survivor yet
@@AngryScotsman94 👍
Finally managed to complete a sherif legacy in nightmare the other day without losing anyone only been trying for 6 months constantly restarting 🤣 but yeah id say make sure you get someone who is a mechanic as they can craft toolboxes as they can be pretty scares and possibly always start with a craftsmen so when you upgrade your workshop you can make crossbows and salvage all weapons you don't use for all them parts
My Fav= FIREWORKS!
Beep the horn like crazy luring 30 in and set that baby off and it sets em on fire or molotov em.
C4 near plague heart and wait till the room if full. usually 2-3 samples on top of carnage.
much helpful sir Thanks
Good thing I have a community with olny 4 Daybreak Operators and 4 Red Talon Operators really helps out in stressful situations👌
Haha that is the ultimate tip lol
@@SunnyGamesYT True but I started off grinding Daybreak Operators which most of the time they provide no labor so I went a while with a community of 5 providing 2 Labor. Only 2 that were providing labor was 1 of the 4 Daybreak Operators and 1 of the Red Talon Operators. Luckily I ended up recruiting 3 more Red Talon Operators with one providing +3 Labor.
Ur content is amazing keep up the good work
I always make sure I have a distraction too in case I'm surrounded and need a quick getaway
I always carry the maximum cure on all survivors at all times in lethal zone, I don't use scent block because it takes away the challenge
