But it’s the bases we’re keen on. Here are the best bases in State of Decay 2 – Providence Ridge!
Rusty Rosie’s
Rusty Rosie’s is a medium-sized base with a hidden, unique feature that makes it worth investing in: a distillery. Yeah, that’s right. Once you move into Rusty Rosie’s, you can craft alcohol to sell to other enclaves. Alcohol sells for quite a bit of influence.
On top of the distillery, Rusty Rosie’s also features a kitchen, auto shop, fuel storage that doubles as a watch tower, and a CLEO supply drop in the parking lot to open or dismantle.
It’s a fantastic mid-game base.
