state of decay: year-one survival edition ultrawide

I will expand on why later, but for now be aware there are special infected that require specific skill-sets and equipment to dispatch properly that you are not equipped to handle as soon as you begin the game. It is recommended to travel by car in almost any situation, unless you are traveling very close by.

You can come back for them later (the map will helpfully notate this information automatically.)Ĭars are great in State of Decay, so long as you can handle the few zombies that will be attracted by the noise. Only so many may exist at one time, and that number is not very high. It is useful to keep any resources in their containers, as once you take one it turns into a rucksack which can be dropped on the ground for later. You cannot gather any resources (such as materials, medicine, food, etc.) but you can scavenge weapons, ammunition, and consumables while you navigate.

The cities will be referred to this way to prevent confusion with names of cities for those unfamiliar with them.

You will be given three options, usually one in the lower city (high zombie density, but plentiful and better loot), in a rural area in the middle of the map (very little is here to help defend your base, and a car is required to go anywhere, but the location is in the middle of the map), or in the upper town (not as congested as the city, but not as great or plentiful loot). You are thrown into the world in a random spot on the map, and you have to navigate your way through the zombie infested world to find an enclave (a safe-house occupied by NPC's in the game) to call your home.
