This is easy enough to walk across in most places, but it's not easy to drive through most places.
The Plateau has a gorge running through its center. The other two maps may feel bigger, but that really just means more room to waste gas. You can drive through the river that splits the map, and the towns along the winding roads are frequent. The starting base is pretty much the same across all three maps, though the foothill's starting base has a nicer fence around it.įrom IGN's experience, though, the Valley seems to be the best for traversing the map. The largest bases on each map differ, which you can see below. Ultimately, the best starting base location in State of Decay 2 depends on the bases you want in the future. When you first start State of Decay 2 you're asked to choose one of three locations for your base at the end of the tutorial: The Foothills, Plateau, or Valley.
