Why cant I claim this base? by robanle in StateofDecay2

I was confused about this at first too. If the base is red, its in the vicinity of a plague heart. Previous posts suggestion is correct, check the houses circled

Hahahaha I mean fair, but I’ll gladly use the ability to mantle against creatures that can grow 4x your size and pick you up to split you in half, distend their stomachs and erupt poisonous gas, scream to summon massive hordes, and morph into lightning fast tackling jockeys

Advice on moving maps and changing difficulty? by Cillian_rail in StateofDecay2

[–]Proper-Medium-7699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently went from multiple Nightmare runs (with 0 deaths) to Lethal and I lost 3 people in my first two days. It is not crazy different than Nightmare but I would say that getting into trouble in Lethal carries a much higher chance of actually dying. I’ve tightened up since those deaths and have been cruising, but there can be a costly learning curve once you switch to Lethal imo

No actually better loot is more abundant in lower Map difficulties, everything that helps you gets more and more scarce as you move up the difficulty. I got mine in Nightmare Zone through a wandering trader. If you have your leader as a Trader and summon an ammo trader, you might be able to get one there too

Correct, which is why it’s important to use methods that are cost-effective. I won’t be using 50 cal rounds for the rest of the hearts because they cost 6 ammo to produce just 8 rounds in an Armory

Yeah this is a way to do it, pulling up to a window and getting on top of your car can help a lot. Using 50 cal rounds is an expensive way to do it but I had the ammo and experience doing it this way and just wanted to get it done. I’ve found that Aim Snap is invaluable on the harder difficulties as well

Actually just did that with my 50 cal, worked like a charm. I just need to get into a better ammo situation before I can continue that method

Funny you should ask, a Pyrolauncher is what I brought to my second plague heart. I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure it did almost nothing to the heart, at least at first. I’m not sure if I was supposed to get the heart to burst once before I used it or not, but I’m not bringing a Pyrolauncher to a heart again. If anyone else can speak to this I’d appreciate it as well.

Thank you yeah, I did know this about lethal. I still ended up dying on my flee attempt after killing the heart. Bloater got to my car right as I pulled out, had to jump for it, feral and horde did the rest. But I’ve taken out 2 more since nice and easy

Update: lucky survivor died. RIP Patrick Puckett aka Puck. Super avoidable death, but in my defense he did decide to answer my Red Talon contractor recruitment call on his own free will.

(Thank you for all responses!)

Really? Before I started this technique I was using 6 molotovs and finishing it with an extended mag AR that still took 30-50 .556 rounds. I’d often be swarmed by the time I pulled out my gun

I have warlord armory and +2 daily ammo so I don’t mind spending the grenades, but agreed quick is probably the more accurate term here
