[@RokaiKupo]

You forgot to add that the Blood Plague Ferals have plates on their heads for protection of headshots so it takes a few hits to break the plate which uncovers a glowing brain, the plague mutated them so much they gained a defence.

[@ralcogaming7674]

Almost like the iron in their blood solidified around the brain. Hmmm I wonder if the blood Plague doesn't cause massive brain hemorrhages. If it kills certain parts of the brain it could cause a zombie like state.

[@maadtee6281]

The infected are similar to those in last of us

[@ralcogaming7674]

@@maadtee6281 very much not, we have a virus vs a fungal infection. Blood plague will kill you thankfully cordeceps won't rather it just highjacks your nervous system. Blood plague being a virus also makes it extremely capable of mutation creating the "freaks" cordeceps on the other hand was only really able to make 1 special infected that big conglomerate of numerous zombies. The way the spread is surprisingly similar, but they're zombie games, so we have bites and airborne transmission, which are due to of course spores and the virus itself adapting to transfer via air. The rate of infection is also massively different but may be realistic I know very little about fungal infections, Blood plague being a virus has infected the vast majority of people but cordeceps seemed to be 2nd in cause of death as there are more scavengers than clickers, I get the message there the whole "humans are the real threat" but as ineffective as cordeceps seems to be I don't think society would have collapsed in this manner. Blood plague is more similar to the wildfire virus from the walking dead while cordeceps has no good pop culture counterpart. Granted I also believe that even the first tlou game takes place further into the pandemic than even state of decay 2, so it's very possible that what we see there is after most infected have been wiped but due to possible spore infection people still fear the infection while state of decay the threat is being completely outnumbered by the infection so bites are the big threat. I'm hoping state of decay 3 is a little further into the future so we can see how humanity coped with such a thing.

[@RealAaron317]

depends on what level you play to get them mutanted like that

[@GamingWithHajimemes]

@@maadtee6281 Kinda. The plague looms like spores but I don't see much else that connects the two really. Idk though, would love to hear your ideas on the subject.

[@shark899138]

I thought in SoD 1 the bite actually didn't transfer infection but left the characters open to getting sick due to lack of medical supplies while the blood plague evolution was one that WOULD lead to a infection transformation hence the tutorial line "It bit me!" "Relax it's just a zombie bite."

[@szyszus4683]

Yup. Zombie bites were just transferring diseases, such as Black Fever that was just deadly plague, but not the virus itself. BP on other side, can change alive people.

[@superandreluizduarte]

And, as the medical help tips on the game after you help a medic, if you cut around the bite, it'll probably increase your chances of surviving.

[@takkarsasori8961]

​@@superandreluizduarte tbh i think getting bit by any zombie and getting infected blood into your blood stream. theres no hope for survival even if you cut off the arm/leg. because of how fast blood travels within your body.

[@superandreluizduarte]

@@takkarsasori8961 it also would depend on the organism response and lethality of the virus. Thinking in the way of the game, it would be: cut around the wound if you're field and far from home. When you can, get treatment for the bite and infection. With the first disease in the first game, apparently, is possible to survive if you have medicine and medical help.

[@entertheunknown3554]

To quote the game itself, "i saw five guys get bit, non of em turned"

[@Stuart267]

State Of Decay 2 is insane now. The new difficulty saw 3 of my main survivors that had survived all the maps get either one shot killed by bandits or torn apart when a horde hit my community.

[@JTorq]

That’s a horrible feeling..RIPieces

[@omnipotiscience7251]

I had my community full of battle hardened veterans at the mall base. No horde could do anything against the base until the time when 2 blood plague juggernauts were at the back. I was controlling a new survivor so I just left that to the veterans. Now, my community fought hordes with 4 blood plague juggernauts and would wreck them all but for some reason, all my veterans got simultaneously infected. I went to the back to find out wtf was going on and it turns out the two juggernauts just camped the doorway and all my veterans just stood IN FRONT of the doorway and they all inevitably died being stunlocked.

[@blacklightvirus5204]

So when I played sod 2 I always wondered why every survivor could use/repair/craft military grade weapons and explosives, use any melee weapon they stumbled across with almost no issues. Make such things as painkillers, bandages, to a literal cure to the blood plague with seemingly no medical experience (though that could be just a gameplay thing). But after watching this video it has made me realize that those people are the only kind of people who could survive this type of outbreak 18 months into it. Could also explain how the only large group of survivors you ever hear of (at least in sod 2 I haven’t played the first one) are the Network and Red Talon. Everyone else is a group of 3 and 4 not including the players community.

[@ralcogaming7674]

The network confuses me, are they a large group with a base somewhere or are they a loosely connected batch of different groups thst just talk on the radio? Heartland makes me think it's the former.

Until other survivors see how good you have it

[@manhphuc4335]

So a few things to add, since it's kinda obvious you didn't come back for some of the later update. The later update, the plague hearts claim all the territories around them, inhibiting you from claiming outpost or new households. Although small survivor groups can occupy a small territory within a plague heart zone, they usually won't last very long as within plague zones, plague horde patrol very regularly (can only be seen in higher difficulties of the game). Also it's not just speculate, but almost confirm that the zombie plague is sentient. In the world of State of Decay, humanity is protected by a super intelligent AI called CLEO that occasionally drop supplies or superior anti zombies weapons. The plague somehow knows this and always directly interferes with CLEO operations. Any CLEO signals is intercepted and Hordes of zombies sent to destroy or intercept CLEO signals (Daybreak DLC). During the end of Heartland (Spoilers), the survivors discovered a CLEO drop within the heart of the Plague walls. It was made clear in the latest update Homecoming, that what was delivered was a Haven device that homes in on Zombies and kills them after sometimes, basically creating a safe haven for humanity. The plague knows this and create plague walls to intercept this. During the event of Homecoming, after losing the majority of it's biomass on the plague walls, the plague was rebuilding with newly establish plague hearts, when it detect CLEO signals. The Plague hearts immediately puts out signals that deliberately jams CLEO signals, but no other type of radio signals, forcing the survivors to destroy the plague hearts to help CLEO.

I'm so excited for SoD3 I hope they keep evolving the blood plague and hearts become entire nests/fortresses and the virus becomes even smarter and aggressive. I really like how in lethal zone when youre in plague heart territory you feel like your walking through the turf of an enemy army, I hope the plague evolves to the point of being a super intelligent and destructive army instead of generic zombies, the current blood plague should look like a joke compared to what 3 should have.

I started feeling like the zombie apocalypse thing was way over played I'd played SOD but I ignored SOD2 for awhile it was already juggernaut edition when I finally downloaded it, then I remembered why I love the zombie apocalypse genre, it wasn't the zombies, it's the survival aspect. At any point in SOD you can be completely swarmed by normal zombies and die, or the scariest run out of bullets while clearing an infestation.

I believe the infection can be cured in game due to the virus being weakened, as you get infected by almost dying in a zombie encounter wich would make your immune systeam weak.

This is possible. Plague Hearts and Walls already call zombies for help, so they seem to be controlling them.

[@rickool07]

bp ferals have armored heads, hearts have territories now, bp in lethal takes over a survivor fast if not stabilized or no cure is made

[@mooseitself]

Have you ever looked at "Dead State: Reanimated"? It's a finalization of an unfinished and abandoned game. Pretty good, very very Fallout, but feels a bit lacking around the edges, lots of "if they had" or "why didn't they" and "missed opportunity" but really it's because it wasn't finished. I'd just be interested in a "what happened" think on this.

[@damas92]

The Black fever is not the original Zombie infection nor is it the Blood plague. Black fever is only waterborne was only seen in Trumball Valley due infected Corpses being dumped by the army into the nearby reservoir and that is what caused the BF in the first place. one bite or scratch is not fatal, it’s like getting a bite or scratch from an animal which if not treated will then lead to death by infection.
