All Meagher Valley Bases (Ranked Worst to Best!)

[@GitGudFox]

All the bases in Meagher Valley. This is my favorite region both because of how easy it is to drive in and because it has Squelones Brewing Company. Do you agree or disagree with this list? If you don't agree, what is your counter list, and why is it different from mine?

[@resoody2]

I agree about the ease of driving. Forgot the roads!

[@coryryder9070]

i would also consider how many openings and wall jumping areas you have to defend

[@delugesofgrandeur]

Cascade Hills is my favorite. The container fort is amazing and the corner office is a really good stopgap, with the caveat being there are constant hordes so your base is under attack pretty regularly. The good thing though is that you can seal off all but one of the entry points with vehicles making sieges a cakewalk.

Squelones Brewing is my favorite after watching your vid on making MONEY!$$$$$. The camp was my favorite, and never really clicked with the ball field. You, Mr. Fox are really moving up! Look forward to every vid.

[@GitGudFox]

Thanks Joe, it's interesting that they made a 6-man base as powerful as it is. I originally planned to sort of transplant the base to the container fort since it has 6 small facilities, but the stills that you can personally build can't make craft beer which is something I didn't know until then.

[@YTeradicant]

For me i would rather be there than the baseball field.

[@brooksp1191]

2 Major issues I had with Camp and Whitney Field was the massive amount of zombies and hordes that lingered around. This was especially bad at the Camp as the main entry point always had at least 1-2 hordes sitting there. Police station I liked as it was off the road, didn't have much issue with lingering zombies, and the armory allowed for another press in the workshop. Though I may end up moving to Distillery to farm influence and prep to end my current community(builder so trying to complete it just for legacy card). For bedding, another system I use is relying on allied Enclaves. As you can get a few set up as a Bed and Breakfast and get +2 bedding and +1 Food. Can be a pain to setup but saves you on using outposts and can free up slots.

[@GitGudFox]

I think the Police Station is pretty good as a mid game base, but I would still go with Brewery or Whitney Field as a final base. The large concentration of zombies can work in your favor as they become a constant source of influence as you kill them.

[@NexusGaming857]

I know this is 3 years old, but with the newer system of upgrading certain outposts, relying on bed outpost seems... wasteful.

[@FatherDinny]

@@NexusGaming857I agree … i’ve seen people say that it’s a waste to even have beds in your base as it doesn’t increase the loss of fatigue … it does however have a morale impact which can easily be dealt with

[@GitGudFox]

Whitney Field could be the strongest Nightmare Zone base, but I will have to test it.

@@GitGudFox In Nightmare zone it's super overpowered. The most OP feature is the cheesy farming of influence with the Speaker. Use the Speaker to call a siege.

Really appreciated this video, broke it down in a way that was very easy to understand. Definitely feel like I’m choosing the best base for my play through after watching this!!

[@MadCarTK]

Aye hold up, you didn't mention that the two small bunk houses in Camp Kelenqua provide +2 beds each no matter what you build inside. So you get a total of +4 beds and get 2 small indoor facilities to pick whatever you want in them. I know it's two years later but I just wanted to comment this as I feel like it should have boosted it on the list.

[@wagonpeddler6372]

Off topic: Have you thought about a State of Decay series? I use to watch Zombie Kitty, Lu Caz some other youtubers do this. It was always a great watch. I cant imagine how much time it would take but just some ideas. Have a great weekend

[@GitGudFox]

I have thought about it. I might do it when there's basically nothing left to really look at which is actually not that far away. Once I get through skills, maybe some more Daybreak stuff, and maybe some concepts like beginner tips, I'll basically be out of relevant stuff to talk about in SoD2. At that point, I was thinking about talking about just SoD2 in general like the story and stuff like that. SoD2 isn't a live service, though, like Fortnite or Warframe which means there's going to come a point where the game has been mostly explored, and everything that remains is just scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[@GitGudFox]

I use it a lot in my nightmare zone series.

[@b3atnumvc559]

Great video man, definitely some good Info here. However I have to say Camp K is the best base in the map. It actually has 8 beds built into it. There's the bunkhouse that gives 4 and 2 other buildings that are occupied but also provide 2 beds each. Plus it's close to most of the hidden weapon caches. With the setup I have every resource is in the positive and I have 10 people in my community. I've done every map and so far Camp K in my opinion is the 2nd best in the game only losing to the container for in cascade

[@GitGudFox]

Having played through the Nightmare Zone quite a bit, I would say the best bases in the entire game are going to be Whitney Field and Squelones Brewing Company. The patch allowing for more leader buildings makes the 3 slot bases incredibly powerful, and Whitney Field is the most defensible base in the game.

[@GitGudFox]

Camp K is overaverage, but you can have that kind of setup in a lot of bases. Camp K has a terrible location which is constantly under attack by zombies for some reason, and it doesn't have the special features of Whitney Field's 3-large slot or Squelones' mass influence farming power to really consider Camp K a top tier base.

[@Thomas-ul3xd]

Just started a nightmare mode save file in Meagher Valley, gonna take me a while to get to any of these bases at this rate haha, literally sneaking around the whole time, nothing more scarier than creeping around a house and seeing a horde pass by the window and standing completely still

[@calebhaverberg8205]

I have been using camp kelenqua every time that I have played. You can neutralize all supplies and sometimes have plus supplies, only downside is you might not be able to have your favorite facilities due to the limited slots.

[@timmercado7020]

This is my favorite "I'm playing for fun not meta" base also, and has been for as long as I've played basically, for just these reasons :) I still think 2 large slots is decent enough, and if you're careful about facility placement you really can get surplus on even a few base supplies. Also the place is spacious and beautiful, and that's hard to find! Of course my favorite meta base is the container fort.

[@calebhaverberg8205]

@@timmercado7020 yea I tried out container fort, i liked it. The thing with that one for me it just seems like it’s cramped and lake kelenqua just has the homey feel to it

[@timmercado7020]

@@calebhaverberg8205 exactly my thought. The cramped, claustrophobic feel of the container fort took me a loooong time to get used too lol. I still consider the fort the most powerful base in the game, but for me, Camp Kalenqua is the most enjoyable long-term home.

[@CriticalRoleHighlights]

The waste of space is probably the most annoying thing in this game. There are so many areas in certain bases that could clearly be useful but are taken up by useless crap that you don't need. "Cabin Park Motel" in Drucker County is a perfect example. You can clear one seating area but not the one that has a bunch of useless table benches. There's also clearly an area right next to it that could've been a small plot but has a small amount of trash on the ground. If you can clear entire cabins and heavy trash plots, why wouldn't you be able to just pick up a few pieces of light trash? The devs need to stop wasting space for the next game. It's getting on my nerves. In the context of the apocalyptic setting of this world, it's just not realistic. You'd wanna use as much available space as possible. With that said, "Mohr and Mohr Distributing" in Cascade Hills is a base that's well designed from a space utilization standpoint. It's compact and there aren't really any large spaces that are wasted. The Container Fort is also another base that's well designed. In fact, I think the Container Fort is the best base in the entire game. Container Fort is right in the middle of a neighborhood, so not only do you have tons of safe space surrounding your base, but you have all the resource outposts you could ever need right there. There's power access right next door, restaurants for food, clinics for medicine and gas stations for fuel. This is the only base I have that's 100% self-sufficient, meaning I don't have to scavenge for any resources. Plus, it's incredibly easy to defend with only two access points and all your survivors are on the upper levels, shooting down.

[@GitGudFox]

Container Fort is one of the 2 best bases in the game. I know they do it for balancing purposes. Perhaps they should give bases a smaller footprint.

Only thing I hate about Squelones currently is the insane number of zombies lurking outside the doors now! Whitney field for me literally minutes before I went to move in was taken by those zombie guys & I raged! Overall my favorite order would be 1. Squelones: with the red talon facilities you can make the indoor look really cool & military style organized, nearly the middle of the map. Note: Since you can drive offroad through 95% of this map its not a big deal if you avoid the gas burning vehicles you can live anywhere & not be annoyed. 2. Police station: just like the aesthetic especially if you have a sheriff & find a police car! 3. Clarington house: if only the damn garage was a large slot (Undead labs stop wasting spaces) & the house had 2 more smalls 1 outside in the corner & 1 in the bathroom downstairs. 4. Mazzaraz Farm: perfect farm style home. I seem to encounter ferals here a bit to frequently though. 5. Whitney field: Whats the point in gates if zombies somehow can still hop them... 6. Camp Crystal Lake: just never found it interesting, to damn much wasted space that could be slots. 7. The Church: cause if i set foot in one my skin burns.

I have a community that can literally last forever in meager valley because I have the plague cure drop which gives meds and either more meds, ammo, or fuel so that isn't an issue. The base I use is the baseball field and I have garden and farm to upkeep with my communities food plus I get bonus food for spending seeds. My issue was materials because like you said it was -5 to upkeep facilities but I made allies that give me +2 mats a day and then I set up an outpost which is plus one. I don't have person with computers which means no lvl 3 command center and I only have a signal antenna which means I have 4 outposts. I'm soon going to make all of my outposts material outposts so that the upkeep cost is dealt with. That's makes my community able to "last forever" because there will be essenshally no rutsack cost per day 👍

How did you have 6 outpost. I upgraded the facility and it allowed me only 4 bases and apart from it one facility mod for +1 outpost.

Works like this. Command Center Level 1: 2 outposts. Command Center Level 2: 3 outposts. Command Center Level 3: 4 Outposts. That's your baseline. There's a mod that gives you +1 outposts. There's a rarer mod, the Signal Booster, that gives you +2. But you can go farther. There's a Red Talon agent whose 5th skill is I think hacking. It gives another +1 outpost.

Is Meagher Valley still the easiest region to start in if playing on Lethal?

[@GitGudFox]

Providence Ridge is probably the best because of its extremely good mid game bases, but Meagher Valley isn't far behind, and it has other advantages. Meagher Valley is still the easiest map to drive around in which DOES make a difference on Lethal Zone where fuel cans cost 2 fuel to produce instead of 1 meaning you get 2 fuel cans out of 1 rucksack of fuel + half the map has been looted + existing loot areas have much more sparse amounts of loot. Meagher Valley's Whitney Field and Squelones are also still very competitive bases. Whitney Field has gotten even better with outpost upgrade allowing you to skip the staging area more easily.

Just moved back here. Was thinking of changing up a few patterns in Meagher Valley. Thanks for the vid. Any word on Trumbull Valley map?

[@GitGudFox]

I haven't heard anything. We'll definitely hear about the difficulty revamp before the Return to Trumbull County expansion.

[@trentwolter208]

@@GitGudFox do you know if Trumbull valley will be free or dlc?

[@GitGudFox]

@@trentwolter208 I don't. They haven't really talked about it at all other than that it exists and will be later in the year.

[@NORSEKILLER]

super helpful, great video man.

[@bradleybruvva3021]

Man.. I’ve been starting in drunker county and I didn’t realize it was the hardest map. I’m hoping the next maps feel like a breeze, lol.

[@cateve0524]

My team wants me to get a bigger base and I’m starting out and I have enough influence for it! :) TYSM!

[@GitGudFox]

Bigger base is always exciting!

[@adambennett2737]

My favorite is the brewery but it's a pain to defend my crew keeps getting killed when the explosive zombies arrive

[@GitGudFox]

Keep in mind that you don't have to defend your bases. You can just leave. Combat stops when you're too far away.

[@marquezshine747]

I was today years old when I found out you could drive through the river 😩

[@GitGudFox]

Yep, you can drive through all the water including the lakes.

[@Renegadeactual]

Are you gonna do the new map bases? Probably dumb question.

[@Siodis]

The ballfield has the absolute best layout, despite it being in a not so ideal location

[@vitec9140]

i would rate strip male over the field because the built gym, urgent care (safes 1 slot) and kitchen as bonus same as the toilets. what i find really bad in the strip mal are the entrances. depending on your playstyle the watchtower on the field maybe is more useful for some players.

[@GitGudFox]

You can't farm unlimited influence in the Strip Mall. I have farmed 9999 influence in like 12 or 13 minutes with Whitney Field. It is literally undisputedly the best base in the game, only personal preference can cause people to prefer other bases because it is objectively the best from an unbiased power perspective. The video where I farm max influence in 12 minutes is somewhere on this channel if you want to hunt for it.

[@Hollywood101283]

anyone know if all the scavenged/bountied outfits are unlocked across all saved communities (I havent tested it out to see for myself...) or if you have to re loot all the previously unlocked outfits once you "graduate" a community after finishing the legacy goal. Ive completed all the bounties and must say I was rather underwhelmed, most of the cool outfits were found out in the deadzone. The redundant bounty weapons were meh, @ GitGudFox Your weapon review was spot on, I love all your content especially the SOD2 Stuff. Keep up the great work!

[@GitGudFox]

Yeah, they're unlocked account bound.

[@Hollywood101283]

@@GitGudFox thanks, appreciate it.

[@sneaksyranger]

I finally tried out Whitney Field. I didn't like the double watchtowers. Felt like some wasted space. I do like Squelones, but it feels like way too many hordes spawn around it. I have a soft spot for Kelenqua, since it was the base I finished my first map from as a warlord.

[@BattleBazOnline]

Another great video

[@GitGudFox]

People like these countdown style videos. Thanks for stopping by to watch it!

[@questorhh]

In Whitney Field, You get 240 influence with every success from announcer box zombie calls. That's 240 influence every 2 or 4 minutes in lethal mode. Don't know why but zombie attacks sometimes last 3 minutes and at other times only last 1 minute. I just push the A button every few minutes standing in the announcer box and let the money roll in while surfing the web on my phone and ending this run on sentence.

[@nocturnalarrow4678]

Hi a little late to thing, what map would you recommend for nightmare zone?

[@Vic2point0]

I wouldn't say Whitney Field is more customizable than the Strip Mall, because unlike the Strip Mall it has no infirmary built in. So one of those five small facilities will have to be an infirmary, leaving you with only four facilities you can really upgrade the way you want.

[@GitGudFox]

The strip mall has only 1 outdoor small slot which similarly means it'll be used for either a guard tower or a garden, and the baseball field has 2 guard towers pre-built.

[@Vic2point0]

@@GitGudFox But are you implying that watchtowers are as essential as an infirmary?

[@GitGudFox]

No, but it doesn't have to be. The list of valuable small facilities is so tight that they're pre-determined. The 1 outdoor small facility is just automatically going to default into either a garden or a watchtower unless you have some kind of very specific ideal in mind. You're going to build an infirmary, a workshop, and immediately after that you're building a garden and a watch tower. There aren't any other small facilities that are going to compete for those 4 slots, and when only 1 slot is outdoor, the scarcity of outdoor slots means you're either making a large slot farm or a small slot garden, or a watch tower.

[@wilsonfisk6312]

I have yet to try the Police station base and the church on the hill, All the others I’ve tried and The brewery was definitely my favourite. I can’t wait until the new map gets released I’m hoping the bases are unique to these ones.

[@GitGudFox]

I am hoping the the new map is something of a hard mode map.

[@resoody2]

Great video. The camp all the way!

[@GitGudFox]

I'm glad it was helpful.

[@lucasfall4791]

wow i’m so lucky i moved into the brewery. i knew nothing about this game and started today. and went to the brewery.

[@GitGudFox]

Good intuition!

They can if you claim them as an outpost.

[@conflicted5575]

They should have a huge city map and the best base is like a big basketball court and it has like covers beds five large slots like seven small slots and it should have a kitchen to I know kinda op but I think it’s a cool idea

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

I was so disappointed that I can’t play this game on PC. I guess I could bring my spare console with me on the road. I might do that. I was watching your nightmare video and I was thinking that could be fun.

[@GitGudFox]

You can play this on PC.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

Git Gud Fox I tried to get it on the Xbox store but it wouldn’t let me use my laptop.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

Git Gud Fox strange yesterday when I was at home it wouldn’t let me install. But now it’s letting me. Thanks for the response. I would have never tried to install it otherwise.

[@GitGudFox]

Now you can play it on either your Xbox or your PC! Your save files should transfer back and forth and be updated between them both if you're using the same Xbox/MSFT account since the save file is stored in cloud.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

Git Gud Fox yes I actually had a save game on the fresh install. But I started a new game and I accidentally drew a hoard to my base and got my companion killed. I might start over tomorrow lol
