Learn how to complete the first objective in State of Decay 2 at Camp Osprey, including finding weapons and dealing with zombies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the initial cutscene, enter the camp. Press 'W' to move forward. Hold 'L SHIFT' + 'W' to sprint, but be aware this drains stamina.
  2. 2
    As you enter the clearing, two zombies will be by the entrance. Quickly move past them and kill them with your bat by pressing the 'LMB' (left mouse button).
  3. 3
    A third zombie is ahead. You can search containers by holding 'E' when close enough. This takes time, but holding 'L SHIFT' speeds it up, though it risks making noise and alerting nearby zombies.
  4. 4
    Continue through the camp, searching containers and killing zombies. Your bat will break, and you'll get an optional objective to find a new weapon.
  5. 5
    A crowbar can be found in a large cabinet to the right of the path. Other containers outside may hold bandages (to restore health) or snacks (to restore stamina).
  6. 6
    Four zombies block the way into a building. Rushing them and knocking them down is the most effective approach. Your partner will assist.
  7. 7
    Inside the building, turn on your flashlight by pressing 'F'.
  8. 8
    Break through the first chained fence by interacting with it and then pressing 'LMB' a few times.
  9. 9
    A Plague Zombie will attack your partner as you open the gate, biting them. Kill the Plague Zombie.
  10. 10
    Your partner will complain about being bitten. You'll receive a new objective to find a different way out as the original exit is blocked.
  11. 11
    In a new outdoor area with many bodies, you'll encounter crawling zombies. You can kill them by grabbing them (hold 'L CONTROL'), holding 'L CONTROL', and left-clicking to finish them.
  12. 12
    Your partner will feel unwell due to the infection. You'll get a new objective to find something to help them.
  13. 13
    Enter the next building, turn right, and find a medical container with bandages.
  14. 14
    After searching containers, head outside. Many zombies block the path. Hold 'C' to crouch and sneak past.
  15. 15
    You can perform sneak attacks on two zombies by grabbing them with 'L CONTROL' and finishing them with 'LMB'.
  16. 16
    A Screamer zombie blocks the path and cannot be snuck past. It will scream when it spots you, attracting a horde.
  17. 17
    A shooter will kill the Screamer and tell you to run to a ladder.
  18. 18
    Climb the ladder. You'll meet the last army guard, who will direct you to the doctor.
  19. 19
    Climb down the ladder and follow the path. Press 'SPACE' to jump over an obstacle.
  20. 20
    The doctor, who is randomized each game, can cure your partner but needs an infirmary to make medicine.
  21. 21
    The army guard will announce more zombies are swarming the camp.
  22. 22
    The doctor gives you a gun to kill a caged Plague Zombie.
  23. 23
    Run outside and choose one of three towns: Foothills, Plateau, or Valley. You can travel to all three later in the game.
Tips
  • Use sprinting sparingly to conserve stamina.
  • Searching containers can be sped up by holding 'L SHIFT', but be mindful of the noise it creates.
  • Bandages restore health, and snacks restore stamina.
  • When facing groups of zombies, rushing and knocking them down can be effective.
  • Crouching ('C') allows you to sneak past zombies.
  • Sneak attacks are a good way to eliminate zombies quietly.
  • Screamers attract hordes, so be prepared to run when one is encountered.
  • The choice of starting town does not permanently lock you out of other locations.
