This planner turns the confirmed four-player co-op fact into a useful pre-launch tool without pretending State of Decay 3 has published classes or final builds.

Use it to make sure your group covers the practical jobs that State of Decay usually rewards: scouting, driving, building, and emergency combat.

Four-Player Co-op Role Planner

State of Decay 3 supports up to four players. Use this pre-launch planner to cover survival jobs without inventing final class data.

Select roles to see your squad coverage.

Why these roles are safe to plan

The roles are not official classes. They are player responsibilities based on the confirmed survival loop: travel, scavenging, settlement growth, plague threats, and combat risk.

When to update the planner

  • After Undead Labs explains co-op permissions.
  • After public playtests clarify base ownership.
  • After survivor skills, weapons, and difficulty scaling are public.
