State Of Decay 2 Meagher Valley Bases

Okay, let's talk about Meagher Valley in State of Decay 2. It's the starter map, right? Everyone knows it. But do we *really* know it?
My Bold (and Maybe Wrong) Meagher Valley Base Ranking
I've got some opinions. Strong ones. You might not agree, and that's cool. Let's just say, some bases are seriously overrated.
#4: The Brewery
Ugh, The Brewery. It *looks* cool. All those vats and stuff? But seriously, it's a nightmare.
The noise level is insane. Zombies are constantly banging on the doors. It's like living in a heavy metal concert, 24/7.
Plus, it's kind of cramped. Not a fan. Sorry (not sorry).
#3: Whitney Field
Okay, Whitney Field is…fine. It's got a decent amount of space. Good for beginners, I guess.
But it's so...vanilla. Nothing really special. It's like the beige of zombie apocalypse bases.
And that watchtower? Total waste of space. I'd rather have another garden.
#2: Spencer's Mill
Now we're talking. Spencer's Mill is a solid choice. It's got a good location.
That built-in workshop is a lifesaver. Repairs galore! Plus, that river view is pretty sweet, even with all the undead around.
It has some vulnerability, but with enough defenses this become a perfect spot.
#1: (Unpopular Opinion Alert!) Camp Kelenqua
Hear me out! I love Camp Kelenqua! Everyone hates on it, but I think it's great.
It's got that "hidden away in the woods" vibe. Perfect for the paranoid prepper in me.
Sure, it's a bit isolated. But that just means fewer zombie surprises, right? You just need a proper vehicle parked outside.
Base Quirks and Personal Preferences
Look, base selection is subjective. What works for me might not work for you.
Maybe you need a huge garden. Maybe you're all about those built-in beds. Who am I to judge?
But for me, location is key. Somewhere defensible, with decent resources nearby.
Don't Be Afraid to Move!
Here's a tip: don't get too attached to your first base. Experiment! Try them all out.
Moving bases can be a pain. But it's worth it to find the perfect fit for your play style.
Besides, changing scenery keeps things interesting. Keeps the apocalypse from getting too boring.
Final Thoughts (and Maybe Another Unpopular Opinion)
Meagher Valley is great for learning the ropes. It's a good starter map.
But once you're a seasoned survivor? It's time to move on. Explore the other maps!
There's a whole world of zombie-infested real estate out there waiting for you.
So, what do you think? Am I completely off my rocker with my base rankings? Let me know!
Or maybe, just maybe, you're secretly a Camp Kelenqua fan too?
The zombie apocalypse is a lonely place. It's good to find your tribe. Even if that tribe loves a terrible base.
