Lockdown 2020: State of Decay 2 - Vinny's Premium Perspective

VINSCLUSIVE CONTENT YES!

Playing Brad and Vinny videos side by side.

Note: Premium starts too early to sync by 3 minutes

Didn't watch the stream but I can only imagine the Vinny perspective is the one to watch.

@mooseymcman: so sort of a State of Decay 2: Gaiden.

PREMIUM

VINNY

All Vinny content is premium.

If anyone is looking to sync around Brad's stream like I was, you want to start Brad's stream around 3:12 into Vinny's stream. Once you get Vinny's voice lined up, mute his stream.

@tgjessie: Thank you!

giantbomb.com/vinny cause we premo up in here!

@vinny Want to say you were thinking of Black Bear Diner in CA. We enjoy stopping in there to get breakfast once in a while.

Thanks for the continued great stuff, everyone. Stay safe and healthy!

Brad and Vinny building societies is my favourite thing. Between this and Satisfactory. Whats next!

This is the type of content I love the most; co-op survival games. More of this.

I also hope hope they return to Satisfactory. I know there's always the worry that games like that aren't fun for the viewer, but I disagree. I've always been entertained by their co-op streams, especially when Vinny is involved, and I wouldn't hesitate to watch hours and hours of Satisfactory, Factory or similar management games.

Perhaps alternate between State of Decay 2 and Satisfactory could be a fun thing for Vinny and Brad for a few streams.

This 1000%

I'd like to think Vinny + Brad = Ultra Premium.

Gamepass is pretty amazing...gonna play this game from there next.

Brad, you are correct that there is a way to rapidly unload a vehicle's inventory while parked at a base. When you have the vehicle in a parking spot and you have the trunk open, highlight an inventory item and press RT to unload items directly into the base inventory. This will save you a lot of running back and forth after you bring a vehicle back that's loaded with loot.

Vehicles are pretty crucial to success in my experience, and if you have the right people in your community you can eventually upgrade them with crazy Mad Max shit. My tip would be to get yourself an outpost that provides daily fuel supplies, such as a gas station, so you can stockpile gas cans and keep your vehicles running. Remember that you can convert a fuel resource into a gas can at the base's main storage station.

Some other unsolicited info: build a workshop so you can craft vehicle repair kits, crossbow bolts, repair your weapons, and dismantle weapons you don't need for extra parts. Stay on the lookout for a workshop add-on--the ammo press, often sold by visiting traders--that will let you consume ammo supplies to craft specific ammo such as shells, 9mm rounds, and even 40mm grenades. Don't feel that you need to be quite so precious with your ammo. While it is a scarce resource early on, it's not too hard to get yourself into the position of having thousands of rounds stockpiled by claiming one or more outposts that provide daily supplies of ammo. There are some dope as hell guns with silencers out there that you will want to keep fed.

Those detailed morale and resource breakdown screens in the community+base menus are really handy for optimizing your community, or for locating exactly why you may be losing some resources seemingly at random.

Oh, and you should absolutely take some of the bounties that Cash offers. Progress you make on bounties will carry over from one character to another, from session to session, and even from community to community. There's no downside to having some bounties running all the time, you never lose progress on them and there are some pretty easy ones to attain that reward you with good weapons. Like, some of the goals are as simple as looting 10 rucksacks. Just take some of the basic ones and let them passively progress as you play.

I love SoD2, super happy to see you guys enjoying it!

There’s something very cute about a Vinny/Brad stream. It reminds me of when I’m playing Souls cross country with a buddy or something.

@Vinny you should try to set up a GB X Dice Tower event at some point. Digital board games all over the place now.

Set this about 3 minutes 13 seconds ahead of Brad's video to sync them up

And nobody gets Vinny's Fresh Prince reference :(
