How to make more zombies attack my base

[3jack]

Hi, I'm currently turtled up in my farm house base. Decked out and all with guns, jacked survivors etc. I know this isn't really the ideal way to play SOD:2 but I've already have dozens of hours in game and I just want to play base defender.

Is there away to make more hordes attack me? I tried shooting inside the base making noise but they only attack in small groups. I had a horde attack me via gameplay feature but that didn't really hurt much. I play at max difficulty as well.

If i get rid of watch towers will that help? I was hoping this update would let massive zombies just attack my base non-stop, thats what I want to achieve.

thanks!

I see, thanks for the reply. I dont like that base tho, I kinda like to role play at the farm house. I mean its not impossible to get hundreds of zombies to rush base but it will take time and not mention waste ammo just firing random shots to attract them (this I tried and it does work) But right, even then, its very manageable.

The zombie spawn rate is based off of accrued community standing. Its a tally. So the spawn rate only ever increases as you complete missions. Even if characters die.

Id suggest putting the map slider on lethal, and just play for a bit. Once you start seeing packs of 3 freaks running around youll be in the middle of the spawning tier and things will be basically surrounding your base anytime you leave.

Then get a truck and honk the horn.

If you want to nerf your defense install a couple towers. Unless something drastically changed they are death traps for the guards

Play the Trumbull map and get the Haven device.

When building it will trigger a siege with decent waves containing all freaks.

Dismantle and rebuild will trigger siege again, even if on cool down (you'll have to kill remaining zeds yourself).

Double bonus: Settle in FOB in Trumbull. Call in CLEO drop for siege and setup Haven device for double siege.

Edit: Triple bonus: You can probably do the FOB stuff during a regular siege, you could during the old Zombie Threat at Home.

1- Watchtower has an algorithm to attract more dangerous groups to you. If there is one or more watchtowers the zombies can do dangerous attacks, but if there are no watchtowers the attacks will not be deadly (I know it's weird but tested)

2- also check this Announcement Box https://state-of-decay-2.fandom.com/wiki/Facility:_Announcer_Box

3- invasion!! If you awaken all the plagued hearts (without destroying them), there will be too many invasions, causing them to level up over time and your base to be attacked. All attacks occur simultaneously at certain intervals.

4-You can systematically provoke the zeds accumulating around your base with sound traps or explosives like c4.

5-Install Advanced Biochem Station to attract items such as zombie jar (jar is very effective), there was also an item that made you become a zombie

ohh I see, I wonder if there a max for watch towers but they do only can be built on small lot and im not sure if there is a good base with 3 small outdoor lot combo.


Thank you very much!

The max zombies on the map without modding your game is 50, so it's quite impossible to get hunderds of zombies storming your base.

But if you want to attract loads of zombie hordes to your base first make sure that you've waken up all plague hearts (as every heart spawns infestation hordes), get your noise meter as high as possible (makes the hearts spawn hordes more often), move your base close to a lot of possible infestation spots or at the center of the map (except farmland compound since it's too isolated) and toss a zombait in your base.

Or spawn a lot of zombies around your base by not leaving your base for a while and toss a zombait to bring them all in.
