How to Enable Crossplay in State of Decay 2
If you want to enable crossplay between Xbox and PC, follow these steps:
State of Decay 2 Multiplayer Controls
State of Decay 2 multiplayer features a tethering system for you and your co-op buddy. This means that you must remain in close proximity to each other; otherwise, you will leave the circle around your friend. If you stray too far, a warning will appear, urging you to return to the host. Leaving the designated area alone will result in you being pulled back to your friend.
This system is implemented to ensure that you do not abandon your community facilities. However, you and your friend can still explore the map together and fend off zombies. If you are running low on supplies while your friend has a surplus, they can guide you to the nearest facility, where you can access their storage.
When interacting with the host's supply locker, you will also have access to your community supply locker. However, you cannot use or keep rucksacks.
Other controls are self-explanatory. The loot you acquire is divided between you and your co-op buddy, with color-coded loot containers assigned to each player. Only the host can utilize and retain rucksacks.
How to Play State of Decay 2 Multiplayer
You can initiate State of Decay 2 multiplayer once you have completed the tutorial and established a community of at least three survivors. The tutorial introduces you to the Blood Plague and basic gameplay mechanics, and it always begins on the Providence Ridge map.
Since you need a roster of survivors to cycle through in case of illness or death, a significant amount of time will be spent organizing your squad in the game's menus. To start the tutorial, speak to the Rally Master near the map's safe house. They will guide you through the basics before you and your friends can embark on your zombie-smashing adventures together.
Now that you know how to play State of Decay 2 multiplayer, gather a friend and face the challenge of Plague Hearts or simply enjoy the thrill of smashing zombies together. The choice is yours.
