  • So you're a beginner level Green Zone or Standard Zone player looking to advance into the higher difficulties like Nightmare Zone or Lethal Zone?
    Then the first thing you need to learn is how to NOT DIE!
    It might sound obvious, but it's fundamental to the game, and the game both presents many ways to make you die and many ways to avoid dying.
    This all revolves around damage avoidance or damage mitigation.
    They say "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and it absolutely is true in State of Decay 2.
    Tune in to learn some fundamental beginner tips!

    Fox is BACK from vacation! Expect a new gameplay series exploring the new BETA changes to infestations! It'll be BOTH on TWITCH: www.twitch.tv/gitgudfox LIVE and then on RUclips here on my VODs channel: www.youtube.com/@gitgudfoxvods
    This week, I'm going to be passing out my depth of knowledge for overcoming the Lethal Zone. My goal is to shepherd the new player away from early mistakes forming into bad habits, and if those habits exist, how to break those habits. It will help you A LOT going into Lethal Zone.
    Improving and mastering State of Decay 2 on a thorough level is an expansive subject so expect many episodes on this subject BUT not necessarily in a row. I may bounce around subjects on a whim.
    ALSO! Fox is on Tiktok AND Instagram! Follow the links below!

    Who still dies in State of Decay?
    I never died since the game released & the only time the game could come close was when it would trap my character on an object back in the day when you go to junp through a window & for w.e reason some object would lock your ass in place & it was always at the worst moments like for me both were attacking a plauge heart with no way of teleporting out.
    Another time was invisible bloaters & stealth feral gangbang so really if the game isn't cheating it can't kill me.
    I dont even need cheese items or weapons either just basic common sense & knowledge & the patience to crouch walk for minutes on end with knees of steel 🤣

    I used to think that I would hate close combat, but now it's my favorite melee technique. It's fast and I can dodge fast after executing. Swordplay is my second favorite. Right now, my biggest problem is Bloaters. Far too often I somehow miss seeing them. I'm now playing on Dread, I've got Green zone down pat and Standard was getting boring, so now I'm slowly working up through the harder difficulties. Right now I play Dread about the same as I used to play Standard when I first started.

      @GitGudFox  Год назад

      You can't avoid this lesson. You LITERALLY have to avoid damage in Lethal Zone even if you kill tons of enemies.
      Your Lethal Zone playthrough is over if you cannot avoid damage. In other words, you cannot have a "commando attack" if you don't know how to avoid damage because you'll die in the attack as well, and there are WAY more things to attack than you could ever have survivors to send at them.
      That's why this lesson is essential to all players regardless of playstyle. You MUST learn to avoid damage, or you cannot succeed on Lethal Zone.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  Год назад

      Then from this point onwards, it becomes your fault because now you have identified a game behavior that you can avoid.
      For example, I too have had someone go outside of the base and get themselves killed; however, I began to play around that possibility to prevent it from happening again... and it hasn't happened again.
      Now, you might say: "that's stupid. Undead Labs should fix the game and make their AI better" and you'd be right, but... this is State of Decay and Undead Labs have never been great at AI programming.

I guess me opening a bag on a bed and messing up the zipper when I go to unzip is is a bigger mistake than a group of survivors shooting off unsupressed rounds and not attracting a single z. is that my fault too? or is the game just bad and I still play it because Im addicted to what it could be.

THERE WAS A PLAGUE ZOMBIE INSIDE WITH THEM JUST CHILLING. SO THAT WHOLE TIME THERE WERE JUST SITTING THERE, THERE WAS A PLAGUE ZOMBIE IN THERE DOING NOTHING. OR THEY SPAWNED IT IN AFTER I KILLED THE 3 PEOPLE AND WALKED INSIDE THE SHED...... is that my fault too???? LOL

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  Год назад

      The game has a safety in place for that. Your AI's gunfire is greatly reduced in noise even without suppressors. Even on Lethal Zone, their guns are pretty quiet. It's very rare for them to draw zombies to me, even on Lethal Zone, by firing their guns.
      I'll give you another example. If you are near a plague heart, and you don't want to fight it, but you have an ally with you? They WILL decide to attack it on their own and cause zombies to come. Now that you know this behavior, it's up to you to play around it. You can crouch to force the AI to stop attacking, or you can avoid bringing allies with you.
      We play the same game with the same bugs, but I don't die even on Lethal Zone playthrough after playthrough after playthrough.

      You should think of problems as questions with answers.
      If hostile AI that do a ton of damage is the question, then defeating them without exposing yourself is the answer as it takes away their main strength: being deadly in gun combat.
      1) You can use zombies against them while you are safe. Scentblock and zombait are a good way to do this, but you can also just honk your horn and lure zombies there. You'll just have to spend some time getting them off of chasing you and onto them.
      2) You can use bloater gas grenades because the gas will go through walls meaning you can attack them from the safely of being on the opposite of a wall.
      3) You can use a long range rifle, especially a 0.50 caliber sniper rifle. They have limits to their accuracy including range which means you can snipe them from afar.
      You can also blend all of these together: draw zombies to them while you're scentblocked, then throw bloater gas or blast them with a sniper rifle while they're being attacked by zombies.

      💯 absolutely, even reckless players "I just go in guns blazing and don't die" are still avoiding damage. They are not getting hammered by enemies which is why they don't die.
      You simply cannot survive on Lethal Zone while simultaneously taking a lot of damage. It isn't survivable unless you have absolutely gigantic health stack bonuses, and even then, you're going to die before you set that up, and you still just get owned by triple ferals.
      There is no choice. You will learn to avoid the majority of damage, or you will fail.

    Out all, how to survive SOD 2 I never seen anyone address of don't run around. No, I'm serious because running around creates a lot of noise bringing a lot of zombies around meanwhile sneaking and a jog I can move around the map unseen by all the zombies on legendary setting.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  Год назад

      Because running isn't that big of a deal. You have to get pretty close for them to hear running even on Lethal Zone, and if the sound of running was a problem, then you would be sneaking anyways.

    I'm hoping firecrackers work just as well on lethal. Fireworks have been useful when ever I went to take out a plague heart. I just wish the ai followers were smarter. I'm seeing they're so useless sometimes, unfortunately. I wish they could throw a firecracker or attack the plague heart but sometimes they will just stand there looking into dead space.

    • @GitGudFox

      Depends on what you're using it for. If you want firecrackers to draw attention off of you, they have no effect there. They just cause sound on Lethal Zone.

      The best thing to know about hostile AI is that they don't really move around meaning you can ignore them. If you want an easy way to kill them, use zombies against them. Honk your horn and drag zombies to their base. Get a big blob of zeds? They can overrun them on higher difficulties especially nightmare and lethal.

    Since the advent of Lethal Zone difficulty and plague zones, have you changed your mind about stealth? I watched your previous video where you said it was the worst wits skill.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  Год назад

      Tied with Discipline. I still don't use it even on Lethal Zone unless it's pitted against Discipline. There's just better ways to avoid zombies than sneaking around.
      For example, you can intentionally lure them away. You can honk your horn and draw all the zombies away and drive around in a loop. Faster than trying to avoid the zombies through stealth or having to bother fighting them.

      The thing is that "dying" is meaningless without actual, permanent death. Defeat is meaningless if you just come back.
      SoD2 helps break people of their sacred cows like fearing defeat, fearing loss, it helps us grow as gamers in other games of permanent losses.

      You could die before you even get up on Lethal Zone, rolling out of the car stuns your character for a while, and if the blood ferals are chasing you, they're going to at least infect you with blood plague if not kill you outright.
      You can withstand some bloater gas. It is often safer to eat some more gas and make sure you're safe to get out.

      Energy drinks are useless in this situation since you are going to be rolling on the ground. The car also shouldn't be so far away that your current level of stamina wouldn't get you to the car.
      You'd need a Warlord leader + nearly 40 materials to setup a level 2 fighting gym. The level 2 is also a waste since you spend 25 mats and lose 1 mat per day to gain a 20% injury reduction which is not going to stop them from killing you.
      The issue here is that you're taking chances.

      That's because the main benefit of the gym is provided at level 1: +20HP, possibly 25 or 30 if you have the mod.
      What you're saying is low level thinking: you survived an encounter.
      I've survived years of encounters because I don't rely on luck. What you're doing is "taking your chances." My methods involve no chances. They work every time because they're precisely calculated and can be relied upon every single time without fail.
      You will always take the same amount of damage, same amount of infection. There is no guesswork. There is no "taking chances." There is only success from methodical strategy.

    I completely agree with you, Fox. Out of practice and overconfidence is two main reason many die from SOD2, once players learn the pattern of attack from each type of Zeds, everything become so predictable (Except those lurking bloater in the brush/behind fences)

      The reason I rarely die is because my strategies are like an onion.
      The First Layer is driving carefully.
      The Second Layer is having the basic medical gear on hand to reverse the situation.
      The Third Layer is being ready to react to an unexpected bloater in case you catch the 1% situation.
      The Fourth Layer is increasing my HP and infection buffs with a gym and hygiene.
      The Fifth Layer is driving over bloaters on purpose to experience their damage and reduce shock.
      This kind of layered approach is the reason why I've never been wiped out in State of Decay 2 even on hardcore Lethal Zone fresh starts.

      The damage ramps up so drastically in Nightmare/Lethal Zone that you'll ultimately have no choice, best to learn now.

They aren't taking much damage either because unless you are stacking HUGE health bonuses, you'll simply be guns blazing shredded to death.

    • @chrisbt5508
      @chrisbt5508 Год назад +1

      For me the biggest difference is that when you grab a zombie to push them into the crowd is much easier with mnk.
      Also more buttons to costumize to your liking. (A controller with back pedals can sort it too)
      With aiming I don't think there's too much difference if you get used to playing with a controller. (I prefer controller)
      P.s.: the aim assist in the game is absolute bs. I was struggling a lot at first. I know it might sound weird, but it feels tons better if you turn OFF aim assist. All it does is just slows down your sensitivity when you kinda aim at a zombie, just messes up my aim really as I play with high(ish) sensitivity.
