State of Decay is a 2013 third-person open world zombie apocalypse video game developed by Undead Labs and published by Microsoft Studios. It blends various genres including action, stealth, simulation and survival horror in its depiction of a zombie apocalypse as it strikes in the remote Trumbull County somewhere in the United States. Players control multiple characters as they scavenge supplies, sneak and fight to survive and protect their group of fellow survivors.

The game's combat has an equal focus on melee weapons and firearms, and it features some 100 firearms divided into several categories across nine calibers. Loot is largely randomized, but weapons and ammo of various types can be found in houses, gun shops, police and military buildings.

Weapon accuracy, rate of fire and recoil are affected by the player character's skill level, as is the speed of reloading and clearing jams. The game's guns feature durability, jamming (when at low condition), +1 reloading where appropriate, varying levels of noise depending on design and caliber, and many of them can be fitted with improvised suppressors to muffle their report.

Due to the emphasis on stealth, sound is a huge factor in gameplay. Any sound, from a broken window to a gunshot, can attract any zombies within earshot. Accordingly, louder guns are more hazardous to use due to the amount of attention they bring, and improvised suppressors are a big asset, though some guns (such as revolvers and shotguns) cannot be suppressed.
