The best feature, though, for me, is probably the heavy weapons. For returning players, it adds a breath of fresh air to proceedings and adds to the body of content in what was already a pretty beefy package. Regardless, the layout of the new map is fascinating, with steep hills, thick forests, and unique bases with new facilities that don't appear on other maps. Perhaps that was the intended effect, but it gives the map this sort of drab, overcast climate that is the kind of mood I expect to get while visiting my family in the north of England, rather than in a video game. In fact, some of the gamma and HDR seems a bit odd to me, with aggressive bloom on the new map washing everything in a misty haze. State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition also brings some new graphical improvements, although it's hard to really make out a difference. State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition doesn't revolutionize the game, but it does bring a new map in the form of Providence Ridge, a desolate logging town complete with a 'Camp Winchester' vacation spot, which seems like a cheeky reference to Shawn of the Dead. I've dived back in after a year or more away from the game to experience some of the less recent updates, such as bounties, but also the Juggernaut Edition itself, which brings heavy weapons, graphics tweaks, and a new open-world map to enjoy. This week, Undead Labs released State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition, bringing the game to Steam with cross-play for co-op, and adding a range of improvements. No game on earth captures the essence of a Hollywood zombie apocalypse experience like State of Decay does for me, despite all of its problems. Combining a rich strategy simulation layer with open-world action is incredibly rare to see, and for me, incredibly compelling. State of Decay has something truly special about it, though. Two years after it launched in a pretty sorry state, it remains a very janky game, with strange engine anomalies, crazy physics bugs, and rather pedestrian animations and interactions. If it's too hard then start on normal difficulty.State of Decay 2 is a personal highlight of this generation, but it's by no means what I'd call a polished game. If you feel the game is too easy then start again on nightmare.

From your description I'd say start on 'dread zone' difficulty. The best difficulty is the one you enjoy most and that's something you have to figure out yourself. Personally I found dread zone to be the most fun while still being challenging as nightmare zone I felt too punishing to enjoy the game. I don't have a ton of experience with the difficulty modes as I only played them a few hours each. However for the majority of casual players this difficulty may be very challenging or possibly even too frustratingly difficult. It can be a good challenge even to experienced players although just like with any other game, once you mastered the game mechanics you won't have much problems with it. Then there is 'Nightmare zone' which is increases the effects of dread zone and even introduces some more additional difficulty characteristics. It should be a decent challenge for many players and I would say that dread zone feels like the difficulty the game is meant to be played on

'Dread Zone' is the second difficulty which is already considerably more difficult. Though to someone knew to the genre it might still be a decent challenge possibly. At least that's what I felt the difficulty was like. Basically that means it's relatively unlikely you can fail or will lose any community members. Normal is a fairly easy difficulty similar to the normal difficulty in the original State of Decay without breakdown.
