About State of Decay: YOSE
State of Decay: YOSE places you in an open‑world zombie survival setting where each decision influences the environment and encounters. You can recruit survivors, build a base, and scavenge for food, ammo, and gear while defending against hordes.
The remastered edition adds new missions, a new SUV with customizable skins, under‑barrel grenade launcher rifles, incendiary shotguns, and visual upgrades in 1080p. Steam integration provides achievements, cloud saves, leaderboards, and family sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Open World Exploration
Supply crates appear in remote map locations, drawing large zombie groups. Clearing the area after a crate drop can yield some of the rarest equipment in the game.
The world reacts to player actions; routes taken and zones cleared affect the types of encounters and loot you will find on subsequent trips.
- Mark crate locations on the map before heading out to plan a safer approach.
- Consider thinning the surrounding zombies first to reduce the size of the incoming horde.
02 / THE GUIDE
Survivor Recruitment
You can assemble a community of playable survivors, each bringing distinct skills that affect combat, scavenging, and base upkeep.
Characters from the Lifeline add‑on, such as Kelly “Sasquatch” Eldridge, become unlockable in Breakdown, expanding the pool of available talents.
- Group survivors with complementary skills to cover more gameplay aspects.
- Track each survivor’s talent to assign them to roles that match their strengths.

03 / THE GUIDE
Base Fortification
Designing and fortifying a base creates a safe haven against relentless undead, allowing survivors to rest and regroup.
Well‑placed defenses and sturdy structures lower the chance of successful zombie breaches, letting you focus on scavenging and missions.
- Position defensive structures near likely zombie entry points.
- Upgrade walls and barriers as new materials become available.
04 / THE GUIDE
New Vehicles and Weapons
The remaster introduces a brand‑new SUV and custom vehicle skins that can be applied across all maps, offering mobility and personalization.
Weapon additions include assault rifles with under‑barrel grenade launchers and shotguns that fire incendiary rounds, expanding tactical options against groups.
- Use the SUV for quick escapes when hordes become overwhelming.
- Test grenade‑launcher rifles and incendiary shotguns against similar zombie groups to see which fits your approach.

Steam Integration
State of Decay: YOSE supports Steam achievements, cloud saves, leaderboards, and family sharing, linking the game to the broader Steam ecosystem.
Full controller support indicates compatibility with gamepads, while Steam Cloud can keep save data synchronized when enabled.
- Enable Steam Cloud in the client settings to back up your progress.
