Just in case you need a refresher, though, here is the gist: If possible, kill with stealthīy holding down the B button on the Xbox One controller, you’ll crouch and move with much less noise. Make sure you pay attention during this section and you’ll have a broad idea of what to do – and not do – when you see a zombie. After it’s complete, you’ll have the opportunity to establish a home base and begin recruiting other survivors for your group. This mission will teach you the basics of melee combat, stealth, and firearms.

Upon starting up State of Decay 2 for the first time, you’ll be sent into a tutorial mission with a few survivors who must sneak and fight their way out of a zombie-infested compound. Here’s what you need to know when you start State of Decay 2. Knowing your way around a gun and a baseball bat won’t hurt one bit, either. Fail to pay attention to the needs of your ever-growing community and you’ll quickly find it in disarray, but if you focus on gathering the right materials and expanding your influence, you can master the apocalypse.

Undead Labs’ State of Decay 2might look like every other open-world zombie game at first glance, but where many of its peers focus on fast-paced and enormous battles against the undead, this title for Xbox One and PC is a deep and challenging survival game.
