This is our guide for the best methods to help you earn lots of influence. As an experienced survivor in the State of Decay 2 world, I’m going to explain what you need to do to earn influence way, way faster than normal. If you’re an impatient as me, you’re probably looking for ways to speed things up. If you want the best location for your base, you’ll need a ton of influence, and that’s going to take a lot of zombie killing. Unlocking outposts or new bases requires lots of influence - usually upwards of 1,000-2,000+ influence. That agonizing trickle of influence is terrible when you’re low and want to upgrade your base.
