The Walking Dead Meets State of Survival
The hit game kicked off 2021 strong with the introduction of Daryl Dixon, one of the main characters from the AMC hit zombie series The Walking Dead. Daryl became one of the playable heroes in State of Survival, voiced by none other than Norman Reedus himself, who also portrayed the character in The Walking Dead. Furthermore, FunPlus assures its global fanbase that there is still a lot to look out for the year comes to a close. The latest challenge for the game's second anniversary tasks its players to join their fellow survivors in building a massive airship that can safely soar above the endless Infected hordes.
To give the survivors additional odds of making it through alive, especially with the new airship challenge, Becca, a long-time fan-favorite NPC, rejoins the game as a legendary playable hero. With her active skill "Raid," Becca can use her grappling gun to leap, kick, and stun all nearby enemies. Additionally, she has two passive skills: "Incindiary Bullets" give her a chance to use modified, area of effect explore rounds, while her "Killer Instinct" allows Becca to deal more damage to Elite enemies.
Of course, all players who log in during this anniversary season will receive 200 Supply Cases. Additionally, players will also have a chance to unlock Daryl Dixon as their hero through an in-game promo.
