  • What are the craziest, most overpowered things in State of Decay 2?
    Maybe you want to check to see if you've overlooked a powerful weapon or item. Maybe you want to AVOID these to make the game harder.
    Either way, you will see 6 of some of State of Decay 2's most overpowered things.
    There are a lot more than 6 OP things. If something you figured would be on the list didn't make it, let me know what it was... maybe it'll make it in a Part 2 OP things!

    Dont complete the beginning mission to kill a plague heart, you can essentially have a NPC that moves with you base to base, and can be enlisted as a unkillable follower that constantly respawns free pipe bombs pain killers and fuel bombs.
    Thats a +1 NPC that doesnt consume food, doesnt take a bed slot, helps defend base and allows you 2 NPC followers.

Leave it in the container you find it in, continue searching the other locations and more of the desired rucksack will keep spawning until you go through all the containers.

    The S12 variant with a 30 round drum mag with a choke is pretty op, but it does get damaged quickly (I think 2 mags so 60 rounds). That with a couple of napalm grenades was my go-to plague heart set up, especially considering the shotgun has a full auto fire mode. Throw a napalm grenade on the heart, unload a mag on full auto and in a matter of seconds it’s dead or really close. Also if you need to clear the room of reinforcements before you kill it just toss your other napalm in there and watch them burn lol also something else I would somewhat consider op is survivors not using ammo. When I switch one out I give them one of my best weapons like a .50 cal with 1 round in it and they’ll destroy anything that comes too close to the base. Next time you switch to them the gun will still have the 1 round in it. Honestly I really like that though, for times when ammo is scarce

      What stopped gunslinging from being in the first wave is that it needs assistance from other items to reach its true power.

      I wouldn't trust not having stamina items. When the entire neighborhood arrives, not even gunslinging is enough to shoot through everything even with stamina items. You'd have to do a lot of running away to create space to continue shooting. You could also lose your car.
      It's definitely doable, but it invites a lot of random mishaps. At that point, the pyrolauncher would also do the job better when fighting massive quantities of enemies since it's more ammo efficient and requires less skill or setup.

    Cheers, I like your list! I especially like the way you described the sniper tower with cleo transmitter on the side haha. Reminds me how I always call it the I-win-button too.
    When you mention that normal zombies can sometimes protect the freaks by taking the sniper's attention, this is one pro of the cleo transmitter because it shoots so fast. When called in, everything dies fast while the sniper tower has to pick them off. But I agree sniper tower is better since it cost influence not prestige + shorter cooldown. It's even more busted you can use both at once for the ultimate delete opposition.
    Lmao scentblock really is basically cheatcodes.
    I still vote for gunslinging to own a place but you are right that it is drastically better when set up on a character with good stamina + stamina items. Other things maybe I'd vote for is how easy it is to create outpost/outpost-swapping (if you are ever in a bad situation ie car broke, low health about to die, and out of ammo, you can literally barge into almost any building in the game and walk out perfectly healthy and full on ammo and repair kits in 30 seconds thanks to easy outposts), Squelones brewery stills or giving bfgs to npc survivors for infinite 50 cal defense.

      There are a few reasons why Gunslinging didn't make it onto the list although it is strong enough to make it onto the next 6.
      - You have hope the skill is an option when leveling a character.
      - It's only useful on the person who has the skill. The pyrolauncher can be shared, the sniper tower protects anyone etc.
      - You need a retraining manual to switch everyone onto gunslinging which are inaccessible to new players.
      - You need a lot of stamina for it to see its full potential so powerful stam items and skills like backpacking. These 6 are automatically good without condition.
      It's still an OP skill, but it it has enough restrictions that I decided it wouldn't make it onto the first 6.

    Great video Fox I really enjoyed it! Your list is on point and as usual we are both tracking in the same direction. All of the things you listed are overpowered especially scent block. Things I would add to the list. GUNSLINGING: I tried this out for a while and it made the game super easy and super boring. STIMULANTS and ZEDADRINE: I have an enclave member activate one of them, equip a "CLEO Great Hammer" for the impact stat, and chop down plague Jugs (no scent block) like mowing the grass. Also with enough stamina you can basically dodge your way out of anything. RED TALON CHARACTERS/OUTPOSTS AS BEDS/SWITCHING OUT CHARACTERS AT OUTPOSTS: are all on my list as well (mainly just because how unrealistic they are). Going the opposite direction I would say that ammunition damage differentials are underpowered. Why use a Prepper's AK to take out a Juggernaut when the Prepper's .22 does the same damage with the same amount of hits...Stupid! By the way left trigger will stop the Pyro Launcher from firing.

      The reason I don't value the the trader boon is because influence isn't that valuable once you get the ball rolling. Plaguehearts give you ridiculous amounts of influence, and you'll often be capped 9999 unless you make massive purchases at a mysterious trader, and if you do, more plaguehearts or selling the massive stockpile if items you accumulate is going to still give you influence better than the trade depot without boxing you into tightly chosen outpost options.

    I'm a bit late but I discovered another way of getting the Advanced Biochem station. You can get it from a " Echo Lab " trader, I was lucky to find the trader had one for 1,500

    Tip about killing plague hearts: if you don't have Ind Pack for the pyro launcher, use pipe bombs. They're pretty cheap, and about 2-3 pipe bombs were able to kill the Hearts.

    The BAR you get from the bounty guy as part of the WWII pack almost isnstakills plague hearts. 12 rounds on automatic is all it takes, you can clear a map in minutes if you wanted
