At XO18, Microsoft and Undead Labs announced that State of Decay 2 fans will be getting a much-welcome DLC update for the game on November 16.
The new update (let’s call it the “Zed Hunter” update) introduces a bunch of new weapons to the game, including a crossbow that allows for more stealthy takedowns of enemies. And for those who obsess over these sorts of things, those missed shots will stick to the environment, allowing you to retrieve them if they don’t break.
Along with the crossbow are three new melee weapons in the form of swords, as well as six new consumables that grant you abilities in exchange for blood plague accumulation, such as the power to see in the dark.
And that’s apparently not all you’ll be getting out of State of Decay 2 in the coming months. Design director Richard Foge also revealed at the event that another free update will be coming early next year, where players will face “new challenges and new ways of surviving”. As well, players will also be returning to Trumbull Valley from the first game, but Foge is keeping details quiet for now.
