Undead Labs has rolled out the last big content update forState of Decay 2, called Legacy Awaits, bringing a bunch of new outfits, vehicles, weapons, and some quality-of-life improvements. This lastState of Decay 2update is available for free on both PC and Xbox.
Since its release in 2018,State of Decay 2has allowed players to create and manage survivor communities in a world overrun by zombies. The game combines base-building, resource management, and combat, all while keeping the ever-present danger of the undead. Over the years, it has continued evolving with regular updates and new content. Now, after six years, the final update has been released, markingthe end of an era forState of Decay 2.
The Legacy Awaits update brings both new and returning customization options, including a fresh set of hats, jackets, and themed accessories for players to find throughoutState of Decay 2’s post-apocalyptic world. These new additions feature firefighter helmets, aviator helmets, pirate jackets, and more. Some exclusive items, like the Cattleman Hat and Jack O' Lantern Mask, are also being re-released, so players who missed them during limited-time events now have another chance to get them.
Alongside the cosmetic items, the Legacy Awaits update also adds newweapons to theState of Decay 2arsenal, as well as introducing new vehicles. Survivors might come across the Pizza Cat vehicle or the Flaming Demon Skull, along with melee weapons like the Titan Bat and the bladed Skullsplitter. Moreover, the update brings a set of quality-of-life improvements designed to make the overall experience better for players. For example, vehicles will now be affected by water resistance, so survivors will need to think carefully about which vehicle to use when crossing lakes or waterways. Managing inventories has also been made easier; players can now access individual survivor gear directly from the community screen instead of having to track down specific characters at their base.
Zombie encounters have also been tweaked in the update. It removes zombie spawns triggered by certain noise events, like failed searches or door slams, which used to cause sudden attacks. Along with these changes, Legacy Awaits also fixes several long-standing bugs, such as problems with ladder interactions, missing items in community inventories, and vehicle repair indicators.
With this final update,State of Decay 2wraps up its six-year run of new content, but the story isn’t over yet. Undead Labs has confirmed that they’re now focusing all their development efforts onthe upcomingState of Decay 3.
