And personally my methods to destroy these hearts remain bloater gas grenades and heavy weapons with Powerhouse skill. Albeit sometimes I mix shotguns with incendiaries and to finish a C4 charge.

    The GOD of SoD 2 made another great video! I've never seen anyone use smoke grenades that way so I'm really giving it a try!
    I also wanna add a "hack" or a "bug" that even Git Gud Fox exploits. Its "Fire Zombies".
    As we know, Zombies on fire spread fire to their fellow zombies and "damage" them. What I didn't expect is that even Plague Hearts can be damaged with it as well. I tried it many times and IT WORKS saving 1 C4 charge or Bloater Cloud Grenades. I always bring me a Pyrolauncher to clear the zeds easily once I popped a C4 or a cloud grenade and zombies will just swarm at the heart. Set them on fire and poof! IT WILL DIE!
    I always use Scentblock for protection. And I think, its just cost efficient, safe and reliable to use C4 and Bloater Cloud Grenades.
    P.S.
    Hopefully, the devs won't rework all your the tricks and bug exploits vids coz I'm blaming you if they nerf them all and buff the zombies more! LOL :P :P :P :P

    • @StateofDecayScience
      @StateofDecayScience  2 года назад +1

      All the tricks here are very reliable and will work 100% of the time.
      The zombie fire damage is not reliable. Besides, a new player will probably get themselves killed when they try that. Also the fire damage trick originated from "SauceOme Gaming".
      I wouldn't try to save a C4 or a bloater cloud grenade because they are already cheap to make. C4 will be utilised best when they are stacked using V2 stacking trick!!

    Well done, RvidD. Your video is really a wonderful addition even to the veterans of the games. There are still many of us who managed to finish lethal but still do not know about all these. I do want to add a bit to your info, perhaps you might already know about them.
    1. For the plague heart in the centre of a warehouse, based on my playthroughs, a drone strike can still hit it, but it is very hard to pull off. I think over 10+ playthroughs, I think I managed to destroy a few warehouse hearts through a bit of luck when placing a drone strike. Definitely NOT recommended but still could be done.
    2. For Airstrike, there is one more location's plague heart that could be used on. That would be the Military Medical Tent. While most of the time, it will fail to hit the heart, if placed correctly from the outside of the tent (need some testing and remember where to place it), the blast might hit the fence of the tent and destroy the heart. I usually destroy those hearts with airstrikes.
    3. While most drone strikes have to be placed outside a building. Some shops/ gas stations with climable roof is a good location to drop a drone strike. You can just climb up the roof and call upon a drone strike from above the roof (dropping the smoke marker on the roof itself, above the hearts). This is also a good way to kill any hostiles that hide inside a shop/ gas station too.

    • @StateofDecayScience
      @StateofDecayScience  2 года назад

      1. One of the plague hearts I destroyed with drone strike is actually the warehouse with center heart!!! But it is not reliable.. so I advised not to do that
      2. Also artillery strike can be used on the unfinished house hearts that have roof but no windows.. So medical tent and the unfinished house hearts can be killed but are unreliable.. definitely not recommended.
      3. I have not tried that. Will try!!

      For example, the smoke grenades trick was very unreliable when I first tested it. I was thinking about not adding it. But after multiple testings, a simple change - "Throwing the smoke grenades to the side of the plague hearts" made a real difference making it very reliable.

    Excellent video, RvidD. You are truly a Master.
    I do have one or two questions about a key piece of info.
    How long do the Smoke Grenade clouds last, and are they different depending on difficulty. I ask about how long, because some people can keep that time limit in the back of their minds before deploying more smoke to keep the cloud up..

    • @StateofDecayScience
      @StateofDecayScience  2 года назад

      They last 25 seconds in all the diffs (I added this info as text in the video itself. I added that in contrast color hoping people will notice. But still hard to notice lol. Will try with bigger texts next time).
      25 seconds are more than enough time to drop each phase and safely hide inside until the smoke clears. Also check the unedited video from the pinned comment. I used smoke grenades in 2 different locations.

    With the c4 stacking can you make 20 c4 charges go around the map and place one on each plaugeheart and then make the trip a second time and then blow all 20 and clear all 10 hearts at once on nightmare or below difficulty? So c4 1 and 11 would go on the first heart and c4 2 and 12 would go on the second and so forth wich would space out the explosions timewise.

    2. (05:49) 1xCLEO Deployable Pyro Minefield + regular Minefield (placed between a wall and a heart)

    4. (08:10) Drone Strike deals 83% damage (plus finish with 1 planted C4). Available with Programming Skill and lvl3 Command Center.
    5. (10:28) Standing on top of the car, shooting through the window
    6. (11:00) Smoke Grenade + heavy melee weapons
