Master State of Decay 2's Legacy Goals! This guide covers Warlord and Sheriff questlines, detailing missions like 'A New Beginning,' 'Might Makes Right,' and 'Gone Missing' to help you achieve victory boons.
Legacy Goals are assigned based on your Leader type in State of Decay 2. Completing a Legacy questline concludes a community's game, but unlocks a permanent boon for future communities. You also get to start new communities with up to 3 members from the completed community and choose up to 3 Legacy boons.
A New Beginning
After destroying all Plague Hearts in your current town, a new mission called "A New Beginning" will trigger. Your first objective is to return to your base to celebrate with your community. Upon returning, speak with a community member about your legacy in the town to complete the mission.
Legacy Goals: Warlord
Might Makes Right
Your Warlord will want to train their community. After "A New Beginning," build a Fighting Gym facility. It can fit in a small slot, but upgrading your base is an option. Once the gym is built, upgrade it to Level 2 using 10 cases of chemicals. Chemicals are commonly found in hospitals, rest stops, and fuel depots. After upgrading, you'll receive two objectives: kill 10 zombies and optionally use melee weapons for these kills to utilize the gym's bonuses. Completing these objectives finishes the mission.
The Informant
Soon after "Might Makes Right," a community member will inform you of a visitor. The visitor will only share information after you recruit them or threaten them. They reveal their former group is conspiring with an enclave called "The Coalition" against your community. You'll receive a "distress call" from a survivor in need. Travel to the location with your recruited companion (if applicable) to confront their former group. As you approach, the survivors will attract zombies to attack you. Prioritize eliminating the survivors first, as they pose a greater threat than the zombies. There are four survivors to defeat. Ensure you are well-equipped for this fight. Once they and any remaining zombies are dealt with, the mission is complete.
Personal Dead Zone
After defeating the group in the previous mission, your leader will want to investigate The Coalition and their associates. You'll need to visit four marked enclaves on the map. One enclave will be overrun by zombies; eliminate them and search for survivors, noting your character's comment that the zombies did the work for them. Two other enclaves will be present and alive. When you speak with them, you can either order them to join you or face death, or simply threaten to kill them. Both actions may result in the enclave becoming hostile. The final enclave will be absent from their location. Search the abandoned base for a Coalition propaganda flyer, indicating your rivals were there first. After visiting all four enclaves, the mission concludes.
Smash the Coalition!
Following the enclave visits, a community member will contact you about The Coalition. Return to base and speak with them. They report a confrontation with Coalition members who threatened your community, demanding you leave town or face death. Your community member provides the location of some Coalition members. Travel there and prepare for a fight against three humans and multiple zombies. After defeating two Coalition members, the third will surrender. Speak with them to learn the location of The Coalition's main base. You can choose to let the last member go or kill them. Proceed to the main base, where you must eliminate four heavily armed Coalition members. Once all are dead, enter their base to complete the mission and conclude your community's playthrough. The Warlord Legacy boon grants a large supply of guns, ammo, and grenades when you establish your first home base.
Legacy Goals: Sheriff
Before starting the Sheriff questline, gather at least 2 fuel cans, ample ammo and meds, and a repair kit if you have spare inventory space or room in your vehicle. The first three missions unlock sequentially, making preparation for all three at once convenient.
Gone Missing
This is the first of four missions required to complete the Sheriff Legacy questline. All Plague Hearts across all three map locations must be destroyed to unlock this mission. You will receive a radio call from an Allied or Friendly Enclave. Upon arrival, you'll gain a new follower and a new objective. Proceed to the new waypoint. The survivors you were meant to help are deceased. Search the house for clues about their fate, looking through containers until you find a note. Then, speak with your follower and head to the next waypoint. Again, search containers for clues. Search the contai
