Do you eventually go to all 3 maps or is the one you pick it for the duration of the campaign? Also speaking of that, does the game have an end game final?

State of Decay 2 |OT| Not a zAAAmbie game
- Thread starter Zeta Ori
- Start date
Edit: Travel between maps is something the player needs to seek out, story won't push you either way. Once plague hearts are done it becomes focused on your leader, which is more like an epilogue than an end game. Finale has a point of no return but if you don't start it I imagine you can play that community for as long as you want.

I was frustrated at first but when you start understanding the game it stops punishing you. I play with a lot more stealth and always prepared before I head out. Allied AI is surprisingly useful, actually. They do give me a hand and take off zombies fairly well.
Almost certain you do. The in game tutorial tips mention driving to an exit on the map once completed and that you can carry over your characters you've built up.
Does anybody know how to clean the dead zombie bodies around the house?
Them zeds make my house look messy.

I think it's intended to show history of your enclave/moments defending. No way to remove them that I've seen.
What? You can't go to other 2 maps?
Doesn't it reset after restarting the game? I think it does.
You can go to the other maps, but it's something you need to seek out. Not part of the story or a tutorial. And yeah the body clean up might reset on load, play sessions have been pretty long so I'm not sure.
You can. The end has a point of no return warning before it starts. You can freely switch or go on forever I'd imagine, as long as you don't start the finale.

Should be midnight Monday night. In every region. So if you're on Game Pass you switch to New Zealand and get it earlier (once they hit midnight). If you've bought it/preordered it then it'll unlock at midnight in the region you bought it from.
I'd stick with game pass or normal unless you were a big fan of the first. The price point is pretty appropriate at $30 and under.
Yah never played the original, just looks really fun and something different.
Had a blast with this last night on stream with viewers . Gameplay loop is great the first 3 hours. I'm unsure if the game can keep its momentum or if fatigue will set in as I keep going. May not be a game I complete but it is fun to mess with for the $50 price I paid on PC.
I'm excited to play more tonight .

I'm really digging this game .
This game Is really one of a kind and reviews kind of blew it.
I have only had a couple little bugs, like my car getting stuck on something (I was able to wiggle free eventually) and door's open state being unsynced .
I haven't played co-op.
HDR implementation is fantastic but the settings reset everytime I boot the game.
Fps can be pretty dicey on the One X.
Holding out hope that all of that gets patched, but even if it doesn't, I'm having way too much fun to care .

Think I'm going to ask for a refund. Way too many game breaking bugs so far. Latest one has a vehicle stuck on the environment even though it's not even touching anything. I can run around it freely, but it's still considered stuck on a bench nearby.
haha, man I'm an idiot. Didn't know that scrolling with -> cycled all items.
Day 9: We killed the hostile survivors and stole their items. They had some ammunition and a frag grenade. Unfortunately a out of town survivor died to plague zombies as we tried to destroy a plague heart at night. Mistakes were made. On our way back we stopped by a military outpost and found a grenade launcher and some ammo for it.
Day 10: Scouting reports say only 2 Hearts remain. We loaded the pick-up with a grenade launcher and some grenades, called in some out of town reinforcements to assist us. They are close together, so the fight will be huge in this small town street.
Day 11: After a successful assault on the last plague hearts, we celebrated victory at our base. It was cut short as some of the nearby survivor camps had planned to take our base for themselves. We had refused to take them in earlier as we had no space and they where upset. Lucky for us, one in their camp told us as they did not agree with the rest of the camps decision. We decided to take the fight to them.
Day 12: We fought our way through some of the survivors and executed their leader.
We gathered our supplies and left for another town. There was nothing left for us here and the infection was spreading. Perhaps the next town over will be better...
Ugh, just looked at system req's. I only have 6gb of ram...
Anyone know if it will actually run or am I sol.

Press LT and throw, no arcs though, just general direction and distance.
btw. who the fuck let the guy behind infestations keep his job, WHOOOO?!
It sucked in SoD1 and it sucks here. It is by far the worst fuckin' "mechanic" in the entire game, it's pure busywork [which is required to do every hour or so or your community will be depressed] with no pay-off.
If there was a DLC that removes this stupid shit I'd be all over that no matter the cost, I'd even throw in my dignity for good measure, ugh.
Yep. And I believe Midnight New Zealand on the 22nd is 8 am US Eastern on Monday if anyone is counting.
Good tips guys! Having a blast with this game.
I got a mission to move my base, Laura came with me and wouldn't leave. Then I met with an enclave, which started another mission (I needed to earn more influence to actually move the base), which canceled out the first one without warning. After several missions I figured "alright, now I can move" (the moving mission didn't come up again). Moved to a new home and the minute we arrived the mission popped up again.
Now Laura is insisting we move again and I can't make her shut up. Fix this shit, Undead!

I'm sure it'll run/start up. The way RAM works, it just means you're going to be paging to disk a lot which is going to make in the least load times suck ass but it may actually affect frame rate depending on how/if they stream textures etc..
If you buy it and it doesn't run how you like, buy more RAM? Its cheap.
Yeah I'd recommend just sticking some more RAM in if you can. It costs virtually nothing and is easy to install. Should have 8 now really.
Holding out till new GPU's to make a new system. Running a i7 930, gtx 970, 6gb ram.
At least in the US it unlocks at 12 AM ET / 9PM PT just like every other game.
I think I'm going to try and wait a month or two for the first sale on Ultimate, then use gcu and some rewards.
Yes, but you can still switch out characters at your friend's base or outposts.
Up on the d-pad, I think? I always end up pressing all the arrows, lol. Whatever button it is to get to your radio. You can call in the vehicle as many times as you want for influence (there's a cool down, too), but weapons and supplies are once per community.
Ok thanks, that worked!
Unrealed question: Can I have multiple playthroughs at once, or can I only have 1 at a time? Thinking about starting over now that I know more about what to do, but dont want to loose my first if I dont have too.
Undead labs would be wise to learn from xcom and patch in a robust game customization menu, allow players to change a bunch of variables like:
rate of zombie/infestation spawns
rate of food/resource consumption/generation
starting happiness/stamina
drop rate of rare items
number of plague hearts
double or half influence gain
etc
I am loving my time with the game. First night played with a friend co-op and had a blast helping build our first base and learning how to heal people infected in our base. Some zombies are passive aggressive but some are beasts! Second night played by myself and had just as much fun, especially driving at night-pitch black; and trying to collect materials for the base. I didn't know that if one use the fast search option (Y + RB) while you're out on the field, and it breaks, it makes some serious noise that will attract any zombies around... I had more than one unexpected wtf moment, lol.
if undead labs learned anything from xcom the game would be broken forever
to this day they still pretend there's nothing wrong with WotC on console
I highly disagree with this. Infestations make it so that you can't just sit in your base if you have enough resources and can't just loot every building with little resistance. Without infestations (or a similar, more difficult than usual spawn that can spread if not contained), there would be very little threat from the undead hordes and significantly less incentive to help out other survivors who (I think) help push infestations back.
