State Of Decay 2 DAYBREAK GUIDE YOU CAN'T FAIL (Guide & Tips) Farm Prestige Fast! 

2 years later and its still working well, thank you!

This is a fantastic video... but I can’t let the “7.262” caliber slide.

Nice guide! I'll lay out my Daybreak strategy here. It's a semi beginners guide, if you're just starting out it'll get you to at the very least wave 5. Otherwise, you'll complete it solo no problem; Setup- Choose the CLEO shotgun or the Blast Rifle (beginners choose the Wolverine shotgun), whatever melee weapon and Deployable Minefields (beginners choose what's available). Grab everything from the storage chests and place them outside in neat separate piles (place bandages near the technician and repair kits at the sign near the barricades after you've repaired it). Equip the Wolverine shotgun, and have the Stormbringer in your first pocket slot (for quick swapping). Fill inventory up with shotgun shells. Oh yeah, make sure at least one AI has a Hordebreaker. Otherwise it'll be a bit tougher. Wave 1- Try to use melee as much as you can (shotgun the feral though). Go easy on the shotgun rounds, we'll be using it until wave 4. Pre wave 2- I doubt anything bad happened unless you were afk, so just make sure your piles are easy to grab from. Also, ditch your melee weapon. We need quick executions for armoured zeds. Wave 2- Blast zeds with your shotgun, quick execute armoured zeds (use flying strike to knock them down). Easy round. Pre wave 3- Empty out your inventory and grab CLEO Drops. Ignore the bandages and snacks, they just take up valuable space. Just grab the ammos and fire bombs. Make sure all walls are repaired, have your Wolverine shotgun equipped and the Stormbringer in your first pocket slot, and fill your inventory up with shotgun shells and 7.62 ammo. Wave 3- Same as wave 2, except a juggernaut will show up. Blast him with your Stormbringer, then mop up the rest of the zeds with your Wolverine shotgun/quick execute. Pre wave 4- Empty inventory, grab CLEO drops. You'll get remote explosives in this one, but we won't be using them yet. Put them in your explosives pile. Wolverine Shotgun and Stormbringer once more, fill up with ammo. Wave 4- Blast the zombies, execute armoured zeds. Stormbringer the first juggernaut, then the same for the second one. Mop up the rest with your Wolverine and executions. Per wave 5- Empty inventory, grab CLEO drops. We just need the ammos and repair kits (beginners might as well grab a pistol, you'll run out of ammo for the other weapons soon). Wolverine shotgun again and you should have enough rounds for at least 1 juggernaut for your Stormbringer. Equip your remote grenades, we'll need them. If you brought in Landmines, deploy them in the center and right side zombie spawn areas (facing towards the city). Wave 5- If you've been conservative with your ammo, you'll have just enough shotgun rounds for this (I ended wave 5 with around 15 shells left). Do the same as all the other rounds, except when the first juggernaut shows up activate your landmines. This'll give you some breathing room while you deal with him. If you have no landmines, keep shooting zombies until the juggernaut comes to you. It'll take 4 remote grenades to take him down OR use your Stormbringer to stun him a few times and then just use 1 remote grenade to kill him OR just dump your entire Stormbringer rounds into him. Whatever you feel will bring him down fast because we can't spend too much time on him. Back to blasting zeds. 2nd juggernaut will show up, deal with him as you did the 1st one. Mop up the rest of the zeds. If you're a beginner and you made it this far in Daybreak, holy shit you did good. Wave 6 will kick your ass though because you don't have a decent gun just yet. Just make it as far as you can. Pre wave 6- Dump inventory, CLEO drops. The landmines are the most important here. Set them up, 3 outside at each zombie spawn point and put the last one inside the walls near the technician. Now we can use the CLEO Shotgun. We should have a million ammos for it saved up so go fuckin' nuts. Remote grenades in case your mines don't injure the juggernauts that much. Wave 6- CLEO shotgun all the zombies, including armoured ones (pops their heads real good). When the first juggernaut shows up, activate the landmines, same as wave 5 if you used them. CLEO shotgun him to death. Just basically CLEO shotgun everything this wave. Use your remote grenades if you get in a pinch. Pre wave 7- CLEO drops will have 2 more landmines for you to use. There's also a CLEO shotgun and a Blast Rifle if you're a beginner who made it up to this point. Set up the landmines at center and right hand side spawns. Repair walls, pray to god etc etc. Wave 7- Activate the land mines right away, deal with the juggernauts as they come through. If you have the CLEO shotgun, this will be the easiest wave. You should also have a bunch of remote grenades left as well, so use them. And done. Again, semi beginner guide. You absolutely won't make it to round 7 if you're just starting out, you need to unlock some better gear first. but once you unlock that CLEO Shotgun, you'll be golden. As for veterans, feel free to leave tips to make Daybreak a little easier or take what i've written here and use it in your own game.

The 2 npc with hoard breakers really is a must for new players. Just started doing daybreaks and the furthest I’ve ever gotten was when they both had the gun

I used the RTX wolverine and the CLEO Blast Rifle for Juggernauts. Worked like a charm for me about 8/10 times. Sometimes I think luck plays a role depending how active the NPCs are even with Hordebreakers.

Amazing video, listened to what this guide said and FIRST try with mistakes made still won

Loved this video! I can’t believe I never thought of discarding the melee weapon for more efficient executions. Well done

Whyyyy is this guy so underrated he's making top quality videos he deserves atleast 100k

Soloed Daybreak on second try because of this guide (accidentally exploded myself first time and Juggernaut decided to walk by and pick me up). Thank you very much!

Watched this, succeeded on first attempt. Subscribed. Hahahaha

So, I’d like to take daybreak to next level also- it’s insane!! So fun. I only played community for awhile in this game, just started on daybreak, and have reasonable success for a noob. 3x got to 4th wave, 1nce to wave 5. Didn’t watch any content before, just dove in. There’s so much to remember, I’ll admit That I’m having a hard time with the setups, weapon transition. And quick kill. Plus I’m a soloist, I’d love to find friends to play this game with:( . Ya man great video, ty for it.

Thanks so much dude. Finished it twice now solo after many fails with a team.

Should be able to buy prestiges points with influence points from the Red Talon trader 💡

Wow, just won first attempt after watching this, only managed to get to round 4 before. Nice one.

I didnt know you could beat daybreak. I thought it was like an endless gamemode.

That's hell of a grind just to get that weapon

Ive sadly joined into daybreak sq. full of cheaters, and I didnt understand that until i saw that bunch of plague juggers (20+) behind unbreakable wall while guys were shooting them 99k daybreak prestige less than minute... I feel horrible even playing since then (only one thing is good, and its not for too much things in campaign)

ive learn from this and yeah after lots of 2-3x tried per day this morning the day has come i made it i finished it solo my npc is using 1 shot gun 1 horde breaker i use also grenades on wave 4 and i must say finishing this is very fulfilling i even stand up on my chair and raise my arms saying wooooah we won eventhough i dont have audience hahaha

i did this even without knowladge it came naturaly to me,but the tim with grenades is usefull

I wouldn't mind some actual friends to try this with I've done it once with one of my friends

Just started seeing this game in the past few weeks. I enjoy watching your videos and hope to get the game soon and learn how to play it.

I tried but there's not enough time to do everything, just made to 5 wave.

Good stuff

Thankya i didnt have the middle wall the whole final wave and still won

I just finished the 7 waves because one of the guys that joined dropped multiples guns that had 50000 ammo 😅 it was easy with the grenade launcher

Thank you so much really helped me out playing solo 🤙🏻

I only start having trouble in laye wave 4 when the walls get breached and the Juggernauts come in 😅

Hello !! I can't thank you enough for this detailed guide for clearing the daybreak mode solo. I couldn't make it past the wave 5's Jugger, I just cleared it and it felt awesome! Much appreciated Sunny !

Need to make another video cause there was that last update

Super useful dude thanks so much

I tried this and have yet to make it past round 5. Idk if they updated it or not, but I seem to have a lot less time in between rounds. I’d don’t have time to set up

am I doing something wrong, I dont have enough time to sort everything at the beginning, the horde automatically starts without me interacting with the main dude. Also, I just can't get enough ammo at the start, there's hardly any in the storage boxes. Have they patched this?

Just had a daybreak glitch... Joined random daybreak matchmaking, I spawned next to the powered up cleo tower as she "turtled up" and dug into the ground. No one else was present, the players who had beat the waves, or even the programmer. And the game decided to award me 56,000 daybreak points for this feat somehow? I'm not sure wtf's going on, I had around 500 points, I now 57,000 (0_0)

More ppl need to be here c’mon algorithm 🤞😄

Idk why I'm having so much trouble doing this solo, I try following this guide but keep loosing at the 3rd wave, I always get rushed as soon as I switch my weapons or reload and every time I get get hit I have to waste time trying to get distance and try to do it again but with no luck

Thanks that is a good guide to follow thank you for

Yo Sunny I'm a new subscriber I just follow the guide and It worked pretty well so far but I only finish 5 rounds !

Holy crap looks great .. looks alot like world war Z .. super video 👍👍👍

Great Vid. Thanks😊

great stuff bro, cheers

That's a winning strat👍thanx

I don’t know about discarding melee weapons as it makes it hard to resist the urge to flying knee kick every zombie you see.

Hey! I’m new to the game and I do not know how to do a solo daybreak. Could somebody please tell me how to do solo? Because it always launch me with a team.

very nice👍🏻👍🏻

thank you

Very nice video. instructions were perfectly clear. I am glad people enjoy this but I am bored, tired, and irritated just watching you set this up. I thought "Oh, solo, that wont be so toxic" and, it is true, no other people. But all that prep just to flail away at wave after wave of bullet sponges? Nah. None of the RT stuff is worth that tedium.

It’s hard for me for some reason I can only make it to wave 3

Commenting for algorithm

Nice

Great video bro. Sub!

Boys, waste any ammo you want, anytime, if you took any cleo gun If you didn't, than whatever, waste it anyway, wave 5 there is a cleo pistol Wave 5+ you have explosives on juggs, so don't need ammo anyways Boys, wave 5 use 3 remote exlosives on each jugga Boys, detonate minefield at wave 6 when 3:00 minutes and jugga appears Bois, i forgot the name of stincky freak, but his boop loves flame grenades Bois, last cleo rifle takes out jugga with 4 shots Actually 7 wave is easiest easy Bois, if you wanna save some dropped items but no space, just drop them on the ground Melee weapon sucks, get rid of it And finally BOIS THIS SHIT IS ACTUALLY COMPLETABLE OR HOW IT IS CALLED IN ENGLISH WITH ANY, ANY, ANY SHITTY GUN After you learn the basics, it's no longer a challenge, it's your playground, where you can do any shit you want and still complete it

Played it with 2 of my friends because i thought solo is impossible for me lmao Update, finished my first solo daybreak Was it worth it? No it's better with friends, bit they arent always available

Thank you for helping me with this game 😁

I can’t get two npc hordebreakers for the life of me

2:52 the what rounds? 7.262? Never heard of it.

whats the appeal gear you're characters are wearing?

I have problems doing this because of movement. It seems that your character will always attack the none essential attacker at the worst possible time, smh

Why are bots not able to fix walls, playing alone is not fair man they are practically useless later on

Why don’t any of the zombies drop ammo 😭 I keep running out of ammo or else I’d clear this

hero

So basically, stay organized, but even if you do, it's more difficult than the entire rest of the game

Is it possible that people can hack or mod in state of decay 2? Played with a guy a while back who had unlimited of those small explosive barrels. he just kept placing them everywhere, all we had to do was shoot them and boom. Didn't report him. Can't blame him either. Daybreak is such a stupid grind.

How did you get all those weapons available?

7.262 must be a big bullet

I new map for this game mode would be nice nice, it gets so unbearably boring.

Played my first run lost on wave 4 i dont think i can do it. :-(

It unfortunately doesn't work anymore, unless I suck.

How do I get prestige/ start this

How do you use the cleo ammo packs?

This game hates me. Out of all 3 CLEO weapons in the drops they were all 3 pistols :( made it halfway thru wave 6 but died lol

community editor = 99,999 prestige in about 20 seconds. I hate daybreak.

Im stuck on wave 4 theres no way its this hard how tf im constantly killing zeds but still my walls get overwhelmed did they just buff daybreak?

Horde Breaker not bringer

Thanks bruh, great guide!

Sup

Good video, but I still can't do this shit. Just totally unbalanced.

Lol this is adorable

Does it still work with the new update?

Why solo ? Add me and let's dominate those waves, i never loose

Wait people actually have a idea for this? I just go crazy and still win even with shotgun npcs.

What i dont understand about these guides are, is that every single one is like just use the best gear and do this, ok how bout people who HAVE ZERO ACCESS to that lmfao like noobs such as myself? Of course its easy to solo this shit with the best gear lmfao rofl, "oh noob just use the fifty cal belt fed machine gun i know its an extremely late unlock but just use it i dont get why you wont"

How do you que solo? Sick of these rando’s that are total trash and don’t listen to tips. Burning through all my Cleo ammo and hoarding stims

Why don’t any of the zombies drop ammo 😭 I keep running out of ammo or else I’d clear this
