Players can rescue playable survivors who offer unique skills such as the ability to repair vehicles and craft weapons. To increase their chances of survival, players are able to switch between characters and utilize their unique skills.

State of Decay's currency is called Influence and is acquired through completing missions, upgrading your base, and items scavenged. Influence can be spent sending out radio calls to possible survivors for recruitment, asking for the backup of a fellow survivor, among other things.

Make sure you're well prepared for missions, you'll never know what horrors you might encounter. If a character dies they are gone for good. You'll need to design your base and fortify it well with outposts and plenty of traps. When in a bind remember that zombies can distracted with noticeable lights and sounds like gun shots and flares while you and your party make a break for it.
