State of Decay - Upcoming zombie MMO for consoles & PC

^ nope, i did the same damn thing with that bridge. as for the ammo, there are a few survivor groups that reward you with ammo for helping them, plus there are several houses that have ammo caches. also,once you get to fairfield, the military has tons of ammo lying around that is there for the taking. Fairfield? is that the area thats all sealed off? how do you get in there? I havnt heard from the army since the rescue mission when they start letting you use artillery strikes. Also, yes i drove straight off that bridge too.

[ProfessorChaos]

yeah, fairfield is the town sealed off by a military barricade. you just gotta keep doing story missions to be able to access the town. and like i said, there are plenty of random houses that have ammo stored in them. you'd be surprised at how many there are....it's all random, though, according to the developers, in regards to what houses hold what items. but it my game, i probably ran across two or three houses that had to have had major gun enthusiasts/collectors living there, scoring me at least two or three weapons and a couple of ammo caches plus numerous individual rounds and silencers from each house.

[Andy]

Yeah ive got loads of individual bullets but none of my characters really use guns, their next to useless unless you have time to get a clean headshot. Im talking about ammo supplies, my homebase gets through 9 per day somehow, i must have a really crap sniper who keeps missing or something. Anyway, thanks for the tip about fairfield! ill check it out.. ive done the judge missions, i keep getting pestered by the radio girl to go speak to job wilkerson next so im guessing thats the next story mission?

[childofgilead]

If I remember correctly, there is one mandatory Wilkerson mission, but you can decline the rest..though you'll miss out on some guns and stuff..

[ProfessorChaos]

yeah, the story missions kinda bounce back and forth between the different factions such as "the law", the wilkersons, the army, etc. and once you complete all wilkerson missions, (which i suggest you do), you earn enough trust from them that you are given a small ammo supply ration from them, though i can't recall off the top of my head how much or how often.

[Andy]

Im at the last mission now, endgame.. but i need to know, if i complete it can i still play as my characters and keep my game as if i didnt play it? i want to see how it ends and score some achievements but i dont want to give up on my group and start new

[ProfessorChaos]

you can reload your game/community after you beat the game, andy. it just takes you back as if you never began the final mission.

[ProfessorChaos]

wouldn't lie about that, buddy. and it works, trust me. and from what i've read on undead labs's twitter page and main website, new achievements and sandbox mode aren't far off.

So, I just joined the State of Decay bandwagon....I have about 3 hours invested.....it is my understanding that the game still sorta plays even if it is off....is that right or no?

[ProfessorChaos]

yeah, your group carries on and consumes food, uses meds, etc from your stockpile even while you're away. once you're away for an extended period (longer than three days, i think), the rate they use resources slows dramatically. but the crew at undead labs has taken care to ensure that it's fair, that is to say that if you leave your community in good shape, things will be okay when you return. more details than i can provide can likely be found on their website's FAQ.

Incredibly great game aside from some of the glitching zombies. Captures the survival instinct pretty well....I took a female that I had invested most of my time in to pick up the doctor....   Well, the zombie rush happened...so midway through I was losing the barricade battle so what did I do? I ran outside to go grab a vehicle to run some of the douches over....well, I ran into one of those juggernaut zombies(not knowing he was a "special zombie" and so he grabbed me and ripped me in half. so I had to start the game all over.....I was so pissed. I had only invested 5 hours so it wasn't a complete loss but damn it! Embarrassingly, I did make the attempt to turn the console off and reload to see if perhaps she didn't die after all but what a disappointment. - - - Updated - - - Also, somebody please tell I'm not the only person that drove straight off that bridge and plunged into the ravine when abandoning the ranger station? lol.... anyone???... My first time....I jumped the bridge dukes of hazard style (successfully!)....the second time I experienced what you did....I was sorta wondering if my first experience was a fluke.

PC when????

[shootemindehead]

Everytime you post that, it drives me nuts. I can't wait for this on the PC. The mods will be epic!
