State of Decay 2 New Patch, Independence DLC Released

Undead Labs has released a new update for State of Decay 2 that addresses a number of community issues along with a number of critical bugs.

The new patch, 2.1, also comes with the new DLC, Independence:

“Declare your independence from tyrannical zombie hordes with this exciting array of fiery, flashy new toys for your State of Decay 2 community! The Independence Pack offers three new vehicles perfect for running down zeds on the highway, including the Pyrohawk, the Burninator, and the Meatwagon. You’ll also receive access to a supply drop containing three new patriotic melee weapons, two unique new ranged weapons and piles of single-use fireworks that are perfect for causing general havoc.”

• The “Purchase” DLC button on Main Menu now works properly for players with new profiles who don’t own any DLC.
• The mission “Builder: Make Your Own Gear” can now be completed if the player has a built-in Machine Shop at their base.
• Characters on the Community screen now re-orient correctly when changes are made to the community.
• Newly selected leaders are now positioned correctly on the Community screen.
• Fixed an issue where sometimes newly recruited community members would overlap or be standing too close to others on the Community screen.
• Characters now properly gain experience in their close combat specialization when fighting with their close combat weapon.
• Characters who have earned at least 1 star in their Gunslinging specialization are now able to snap-aim with the [ A ] button as expected.
• The in-game Independence Pack purchase confirmation banner no longer eagerly pops up with every player session.
• Fixed several missions that occasionally couldn’t be completed due to missing items (such as Lost and Found: Search for the Mace, Eagle Eye: Sniper’s Stash, and the various resource-scavenging Radio Menu missions). These missions should now properly place the necessary items in the world.
