State of Decay 2 Resource Locations

Nevertheless, we’ll detail every resource just below, revealing in which locations and which types of buildings we often found them in around the map.

• Medical Resources - Nearly always found in either clinics or hospitals, and sometimes within shops.
• Fuel - Located in garages, sheds, houses, or occasionally within the trunk of vehicles.
• Food - Nearly always found within shops or houses, you can sometimes trade with survivors for certain food items.
• Ammunition - You can usually find ammunition in both stores and enclaves, but you can usually purchase it from traders for Influence.
• Building Materials - You’ll usually find building materials within houses, garages, and sheds, and you can sometimes trade for it if you’re willing to spend some Influence.
