Once the last zed falls the siege will be over. You can repair gates by holding down the Y Button in front of them (that is if there are no zombies nearby). If you see the red marker, above a fallen comrade, help them first. Make saving survivors your top priority when this happens. When zombies bust in through the gates, get back down to ground level and help your soldiers clear them out with your melee weapon. There’s plenty of ammo so don’t be afraid to miss shots. There is a Supply Locker up here for easy access. You can get up there by way of one of the two ladders around the building. Take up position on the rooftop at the Northeast end of Black Friday. Having base defenses like Mines and Propane Tanks are essential.
During the second wave, special zombies will appear. Zombies come from the East and North and the Siege lasts for two waves. Whatever melee weapon you are comfortable with is just fine.
There are plenty in Lifeline, especially if you follow this guide (more on that later). I recommend having an assault rifle or any semi-auto rifle equipped.
#STATE OF DECAY WALKTHROUGH FULL#
Put three thrown weapons (Hand Grenades or Molotovs) and three slots full of ammo for your chosen weapon. Once back you will have time to store any items you scavenged and set up for the coming attack. When a Siege is about to occur it’s best to start making your way back to base around Threat Level yellow-2. That extra amount of time may vary depending on how many times you get a “SNAFU” or “Excellent Work." You can take this extra time between Sieges to rescue survivors and gather supplies. If you select “Thin The Herd”, in the Ops Center, your soldiers will buy you more time. When the Threat Level hits red-3 you have three minutes, to drop what you’re doing, and return to base. There are three Threat Levels from white-1, yellow-2, to red-3. These are attacks on your home base, Black Friday. Establishing Outposts won’t stop every Horde from causing an Infestation, but it will get most of them. Intercepting a Horde is not that hard, you can just run into them with a vehicle, but this will cause damage to that vehicle and it detracts you from the task at hand. Establishing an Outpost, and setting traps there, can destroy Hordes for you without having to intercept them. A red flag will appear on the map indicating what Structure the Horde is heading for. You can also highlight the Horde by pressing the Back Button and hovering over the green circle that surrounds them. The game warns you when a Zombie Horde is Nearing A Location. Why is it important to do so? In the game, there are Zombie Hordes large groups of common zeds that wander around in search of a Structure on the map to Infest. Everything from ordering an airdrop full of supplies, to asking a fellow soldier to accompany you, to repairing melee weapons runs on it.Įstablishing Outposts is a big step toward making your playtime, and rescuing survivors, that much less of a pain in the ass. The stars basically represent dollar signs, just think of it that way. If you don’t have a high enough influence to complete the chosen action, the character will refuse to do it. Influence is the main “currency” of Lifeline. Also, you might not always have enough Influence to order a supply drop, so every little item counts toward making your life easier in that regard. Besides, when you Establish Outposts (more on that in a minute) you can find useful things in these spots. You can order supply drops rather than go out and hunt for supplies, but in my opinion that takes some of the fun out of it. Of course, you also need to take on groups of the undead, but you are a military unit and have the equipment and connections to make this task simple. Like the main State of Decay storyline, you will need to scavenge for supplies and protect your base.
