State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition changes
Toward Brighter Days
Welcome to the latest update for State of Decay 2!
Winter isn’t done with us yet, but we can take heart from the ever-lengthening daylight that foretells the coming rebirth of spring.
We’re still hard at work improving the game in ways big and small. This update expands your options for recruiting new community members, adds mouse-and-keyboard support for Xbox players, brings back the T rumbull Valley Pack, and standardizes a monthly rhythm for returning content packs.
Celebrating Black History Month
Before we dive into more details on the improvements to the game, we want to point out a special outfit item appearing this month. This unique t-shirt is inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and the NAACP’s “We Are Done Dying” campaign. The image is designed by artist Ty Ferrell and portrays a figure kneeling in peaceful protest, with images of raised fists arranged behind him in a manner reminiscent of State of Decay’s familiar logo.
You can find the new Basic Tee (Done Dying) outfit in your Closet starting on February 8.
A physical version of this T-shirt is also available for purchase between February 8 and March 1 by visiting StateOfDecay.com/naacp. Sales of this shirt will benefit the NAACP.
The physical shirt will be available for purchase ONLY during this time-frame. No reprints are planned.
Recruiting from Neutral and Friendly Enclaves
New recruits are the lifeblood of any community, but they can sometimes be hard to find. At least until today!
Starting now, every non-hostile ambient enclave offers you the option to recruit. This means as long as they’re not shooting at you, and they’re not busy with their own problems (embroiled in an ongoing mission arc), you can recruit from among their ranks.
Allied enclaves still allow you to recruit for free, as they always have.
Friendly enclaves now allow you to recruit for 750 Influence.
Neutral enclaves now allow you to recruit for 1500 Influence.
So now if you need recruits, the simplest way to get them is to use the radio to contact a new Enclave, meet up with them, and then spend the influence to recruit from them that very minute.
The Trumbull Valley Pack Returns
This content pack celebrates the sleepy little valley where it all started. It features six weapons that first appeared in the Heartland expansion, plus four outfits worn by iconic survivors from that storyline! It also includes the Improvised Weapon Station, a fan-favorite facility mod that lets you craft an array of useful weapons from spare bits and pieces lying around your base. Visit the Bounty Broker to find out how to earn these items!
(We had previously indicated that the Critical Response Pack would be cycling back this month, but Trumbull Valley was a better fit for the schedule. A revised and improved Critical Response Pack will return later this year.)
Bounty Broker News
Over the past year-plus, we’ve been adding new content packs to the game via the Bounty Broker. We now have 11 distinct collections of weapons, outfits, and other useful gear, each with its own theme, from pirates and soldiers to cowboys and movie monsters.
And now we’ve also implemented a new schedule for this library of content packs to automatically cycle in and out of the game. The first day of each month now includes an update of the Bounty Broker’s inventory,
