Survival horror game State of Decay 2 got a new patch recently. Update 29 gives three of the game’s original maps a visual overhaul: Drucker County, Meagher Valley, and Cascade Hills. This update also brings a highly requested feature - the ability to adjust the field of view.
Graphical Overhaul
The developers want Drucker County to look even more unique. In this map, they added red rocks, a clear sky with dust all over, and a dry climate to make the place look like a true arid landscape.
The Meagher Valley now has new vistas, fresh terrain painting, and foliage. You’re likely going to notice some trees shedding their leaves along the river valley.
Cascade Hills now come with better-looking rocks. The terrain has been repainted for a more natural look, and the foliage was improved as well.
In addition, the devs have added new vista elements on each of these maps. The placement of trees and foliage have been tweaked to match the surroundings. Each map also has its own distinct feel, thanks to the adjustments made to the skies and nighttime lighting.
