The player can open the door (on driver's side) to hit zombies, as well as sending zombies off by drifting or abruptly stopping the car or driving the zombies into an obstacle, which will most likely result in the death of the zombies. Zombies that cling on the doors, if left unchecked, will rip off the doors, grab survivors within reach and drag them out of the car. The longer zombies stay on a car, the more damage they will inflict upon it. Zombies can cling to a vehicle and damage it to the point where the car will shut down. Players may find vehicles like the Modern PickupВ more useful for hauling a large amount of resources from point A to point B than a car that can reach higher speeds.

As one would expect, a car does not have as many inventory spots as a pickup truck. Smaller items like weapons or snacks will still need to be unloaded manually by the player. If the item is in a large rucksack (for instance food or medicine), it will be automatically unloaded by parking in a home base Parking Area. In the Year One Survival Edition, players can use construction materials to instantly repair vehicles in a parking space. A standard Work Area will not repair vehicles. Parked vehicles are repaired at dawn, provided the Home Base has either a Workshop (repairs body and tires only) or Machine Shop (full repair). The only way to repair vehicles is to drive them to a Parking Area at the player's Home Base. When a vehicle flips over or has its engine sufficiently damaged, it explodes and cannot be repaired. The most visible places are: tires, doors, hood, front and rear bumpers, and engine (which emits smoke when heavily damaged). Vehicles do not have health bars, the condition of the car is indicated by marks, dents, engine soundВ and overall shape of the vehicle. Conversely, performance-class vehicles tend to be more fragile, and can easily be damaged when hitting something at top speeds.Дamage to vehicles is location-based. Utility-class vehicles are quite durable, being able to roadkill a few Zombie Hordes before displaying visible signs of damage, or can kill a Juggernaut before being damaged beyond repair. These techniques can be used to complete 'Create Diversion' missions, or draw out infestations so that they can be run over more easily. Additionally, the Police Cruiser canВ turn on its sirens, dramatically increasing the noise distance and alerting all nearby zombies. Performance-class vehicles are much louder than the Economy-class or Utility-class vehicles, so those louder vehicles will attract more zombies to the player's location.ДЄll cars can honk their horn and flash their headlights in order to attract attention. The amount of noise a vehicle makes also plays into the factor of which car the player chooses. Performance cars accelerate extremely fast and are difficult to control at top speed, by contrast, Economy cars are easier to control but possess lower top speed. All vehicles handle differently based on their class.

The vehicles handle more like an arcade experience than a simulation. Currently vehicles use no fuel, despite the description for the Fuel resource.

Once a vehicle is destroyed, it is gone for good.ДЇuel consumption did not make it into State of Decay. There are a set number of vehicles that exist in the game world.
