State of Decay 2

Achievement guide · roadmap · tracker

158 achievements Guide 29% Singleplayer Multiplayer
A game of mostly objective/grind achievements with nothing really missable in the normal sense of the word. The grind isn't even too bad (the longest will be Others and WightsOthers and Wights for killing 10k zombies). There is coop multiplayer, but you can do all achievments solo or coop - its up to you. But, unless you manipulate saves, 4 playthroughs are necessary to get each of the legacy achievements (Be Still My Dog of WarBe Still My Dog of War, I Am the LawI Am the Law, etc). You could do this in one playthrough by levelling up 4 characters (one of each type) beforehand, saving before electing one as leader and then going through the election, plague heart killing and legacy missions for each character. Some general tips: - carry a can of fuel in the car when driving around - be sure to collect every Plague Sample you find - invest in being able to repair things (i.e. your weapons!) Leader legacies: - Sheriff: Loot received daily - Trader: 4000 influence and a trader visit when you first settle - Builder: Base-wide power+water with no fuel cost or threat - Warlord: large stockpile of weapons/ammo when you first settle
