What the Best Outposts Are in State of Decay 2

Outposts, or certain buildings will provide water. They're pretty rare, and expensive to acquire though. If you don't help them out they'll collapse or move on, generally. Enclaves have some niiice benefits but are extremely high maintenance. They'll appear randomly. Scattered Survivors often want to join, and sometimes you can absorb an enclave. The State of Decay 2 Max Survivors number lets you know how many possible survivors you can have in your home base. Knowing your limits is important as it lets you plan ahead. It also lets you. Eventually, you will fight human opponents in State of Decay 2. When that happens, grab a gun and start shooting. When that happens, grab a gun and start shooting. Humans are pretty resilient.

There are a ton of outposts you can claim in State of Decay 2 to help you out on your conquest to destroy all the Plague Hearts in your territory. While some simply offer a place for you to switch characters or access your base’s inventory, many others offer far more lucrative bonuses for claiming them. As such, you’re probably here to find out exactly what the best outposts are in State of Decay 2.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a definitive list by name of the very best outposts you can claim in State of Decay 2 due to the three separate large maps you can choose from. However, we can still tell you what to look out for so you can get the best outposts in State of Decay 2.

The best outposts you’re going to want to make sure you definitely have as soon as you can afford them are those which can provide you a Power or Water supply. Water Towers, Power Stations, Generators, and other facilities that you’d think would provide these utilities. For these, you’re looking for either a lightning bolt or water droplet when hovering your cursor over the outpost on State of Decay 2’s map. Not only will these provide you with constant power and water to your base, opening up facility upgrades, new crafting options, and generally making it easier to get around your base, it’ll also provide you with a morale bonus in your community. That means any fighting your survivors do in State of Decay 2 won’t be as devastating to your community’s overall morale, nor will too many Infestations, either.

If you’ve already got power and water supplies in State of Decay 2, you’ll want to claim outposts that help bring in the resources that you tend to have low supplies of. For us, we found having outposts that brought in additional food each day were helpful, especially as the more survivors you have in your community, the more you’ll go through each day. However, if you use vehicles a lot and go through more fuel, but have an abundance of food, seek out somewhere that offers daily fuel instead.

Oh, and as a final thing to keep in mind. From what we’ve gathered, no outposts in State of Decay 2 will net you more resources each day for claiming it as an outpost than another. For example, a vet’s clinic will give the same +1 Meds as claiming a larger hospital will.

That’s all you need to know about the best outposts in State of Decay 2. For more tips, tricks, and information on the game, be sure to check out our ever-expanding wiki.

The Best Tip[edit]

You can pause! As in there is a way to truly suspend gameplay in single-player. To do so you need to disable multiplayer in the settings. Go to Settings > Multiplayer > Offline and then pausing will work like it truly should.

Base and Community Tips[edit]

  • Save your Influence for your first two outposts instead of using them on trading.
  • Prioritize outposts that provide water/electricity to save on build spaces in your Home base. It might be expensive, but it's worth it as most other outposts do not provide much.
  • Pay attention to what your community wants in an outpost. Building structures they're interested grants your community bonuses.
  • If you're trying to increase a person's standing but don't want to take them out, have them turn in supplies. They'll gain a little Influence with each bag they turn in, even if they didn't find it.
  • When your vehicle is parked at the base in a parking spot, you can hit a button while looking in your trunk to automatically transfer everything in the truck to your base's storage.
  • You can squeeze in more than one vehicle in your parking spaces - just look for the word 'parked' when pulling in. Although if you move bases, only the vehicle listed in your Base menu will move.
  • If your Morale is low, visit the Base tab in the menu and view the Morale tab to get a breakdown of your score.
  • Use the Base menu to quickly assign facility actions, like having community members clear trash or repair a facility.
  • Performing Facility actions increase your base's threat level. You can view your threat level in the Base tab of the menu.
  • Early game when you have limited storage, use vehicles parked at the base to safely store extra supplies so they don't decay.
  • Don't forget to upgrade your facilities! Doing so improves their capabilities.
  • If you miss a survivor's mission, they'll be disappointed, but they'll sometimes bring it back up again, giving you another shot. Try to complete these when you can.
  • Help Enclaves when they request supplies. It takes away from your community, but they usually offer something helpful in the longrun.
  • You can withdraw rucksacks and other supplies from your base's storage. Use this to complete goals that require you to gather supplies if you're having a hard time finding them.

Combat Tips[edit]

  • Save your ammo! Not only does shooting draw fire, but it's not always easy to find ammo for the weapon you're carrying.
  • Once you unlock special moves after upgrading your Fighting stat, use them as often as you can as they have invincibility frames and force zombies onto the ground, allowing for quick and easy kills
  • When dealing with infestations, simply run over most of the zombies with a car. If they're hiding in a house, just press 'C' to trigger the car horn, which will attract all nearby zombies. If there is a screamer inside a house, then just back off enough that he'll walk towards you but not yell, and then run into him when your car can hit it.
  • Using the door of your car to hit zombies as you drive by does not damage the overall integrity of your vehicle, but doors can eventually be ripped off by zombies attached to the side.

[edit]

  • Bring a bunch of explosives with you when you're ready to take on Plague Hearts. Get in a safe place and keep chucking explosives at the heart to destroy it quickly. Once it's destroyed all zombies around it are killed too, so it's better to take care of it as fast as possible.
  • There is a much more efficient way of taking down Plague Hearts. You just need 2 frag grenades or pipe bombs, when your facing the Plague Heart throw the grenades/pipe bombs (one on each side) at the Plague Heart. It is guaranteed to die.
  • If you have a .50 caliber rifle, use it take out a Plague Heart in only a few shots.
  • If you are in a 1v1 with a zombie, instead of mashing attack until they're on the ground and executing it, simply approach it, dodge behind it and use the stealth kill. As long as you're behind the zed, this technique works, and will save your melee weapon integrity.

Exploration Tips[edit]

State Of Decay 2 Outpost Limit
  • If your vehicle is stuck on top of a rock or an object and you can't flip your vehicle, you can fix this in multiplayer. First, get another player in your game. Then get another vehicle. With one player in the vehicle that is stuck and the other player in the other vehicle, you can ram the stuck vehicle with the moving vehicle(not full speed). That should knock it loose.
  • Hold down LB while on a ladder to climb faster or slide down. Climbing cost stamina, but sliding down doesn't cost anything.
  • Always try to look for resources when you go out to explore. Put them in the trunk of your vehicle and carry back as many as you can so that you don't have to look for resources all the time.
  • Try to gather all the resources from buildings near your Outpost early on at night. Exploring close to home is less of a risk, so doing so at night when you're weak early on will help you make the most of your evenings more safely.

Extending Outpost Limit State Of Decay 2

  • If you flip your car by some unfortunate circumstance, you can flip it over manually by interacting with the front of the car as if you were repairing it.
  • When surveying an area, if you spot a vehicle you can see how much gas it has if you look at it on your map.
  • Pick up textbooks, even ones that your current character can't learn. They sell for high amounts of Influence when you trade with other people, so even if your characters can't learn them, they are probably the most valuable source of Influence that I've found so far.
  • Utilize the radio to get materials when you are low on supplies. They are a fast and efficient way of getting what you want quickly without needing to try and randomly find the materials you want. You can only do this every few minutes, however, so don't rely on it entirely.
  • Stock up on Vehicle Repair Kits for any damage you might deal to your cars. Making sure to pick up as much fuel as possible is also recommended.
  • If you take a survivor traveling with you that is from a different enclave (group), you can talk to them to trade valuable items while investigating new areas. This allows for fast Influence gain without needing to go back and forth between new areas. Once that person from the group has run out of Influence, you can go to a different enclave and have them come with you instead.
  • Your travel buddy will get tired. If you don't change that person they'll eventually just run back home without warning.
  • You'll generally want to prioritize helping enclaves over survivors if you're not short on supplies. Single survivors only give you one thing, but enclaves can help you in the long-run.
  • Try to drive safely. You can destroy your vehicle as you mow down zombies and hit other obstacles on the map.
  • Bloaters and Jugganoughts are your vehicle's worst nightmare. Avoid hitting Jugganoughts at all costs and if you hit a Bloater, jump out as soon as possible. The gas will stay on the car long enough to remove all your health.

  • When scavenging an area, bring a car with ample storage space. You can load multiple rucksacks in the back, but only carry one on each survivor.
  • Use enclave followers to help clear difficult areas. Often an enclave or survivor will ask you to help them and will follow you. Most of the time there is no time limit, so use this as an opportunity to have an extra helper. Clear infestations, destroy plague hearts or explore new territory. You can also bring a survivor from your home base, resulting in two followers.
    • When you start a new community, if you replay the tutorial you can max out your stamina on your lead character by clearing the first parts of the army base then runing back and forth until your stamina skill is maxed. When playing in a community, an easy place to max. out a character's stamina is on a bridge, as you can easily see incoming or attracted zombies.
