Developer Undead Labs has already outlined what to expect from Lifeline, and recently fielded lingering questions about the new features, gameplay, and of course, the guns. The military themed expansion to last year's hit zombie-apocalypse simulator packs an additional 40 firearms spanning assault weapons, high-powered rifles and hand cannons of various shapes and (large) sizes.Though the many new models weren't listed out, existing firearms are largely based on actual weapons, so those of you who know your guns should be able to spot some notable additions in the images above.All that hardware needs to be kept in good condition and the new Field Workshop can do just that by immediately repairing your weapons in exchange for materials. The workshop can be further upgraded to an Ammunition Shop, which will allow you to fashion the raw ammo resource into whatever type of specific ammunition you're needing.Resources will also be slightly easier to come across this time around as choppers can be called in to drop supply packs containing specific resources, or more guns, because... guns.State of Decay: Lifeline lets you assume command of a military squad dropped in the middle of an infested city. The second piece of downloadable content will focus less on the scavenging, rebuilding, and trying not to die of the original game, and more on rescuing high value targets, fortifying your military encampment, and trying not to die from hordes of the undead trying to get in.Undead Labs have confirmed that while some content in Lifeline is specific to that story and won't translate over to either State of Decay or the first expansion, Breakdown, many new features like vehicle inventory and numerous fixes will be universal and included in a coming title update around the same time.State of Decay: Lifeline is slated for release in "early June" for both the Xbox 360 and the PC.
