State of Survival: How to Unlock the Dinosaur Behemoth MK2

To unlock the Dinosaur Behemoth MK2 in State of Survival, activate the Biological Research Base on your settlement outskirts and clear the combat milestones in the limited-time Behemoth Trial event.

Availability depends on server age rather than player level. The feature rolls out once a server reaches designated maturity milestones, such as State 603. Once active, the Biological Research Base acts as the dedicated command hub for housing both the Gorilla MK1 and Dinosaur MK2, shifting your settlement progression toward mechanized biological stats.

Unlocking the Biological Research Base

The Biological Research Base appears on the edge of your settlement once your state reaches its scheduled rollout window.

1. Verify State Availability: Confirm that your server has reached the biological rollout phase. Maturing kingdoms encounter this facility prior to dual-behemoth State Warfare (SvS) brackets.
2. Access the Outskirts: Locate the newly spawned facility outside your standard inner-wall building grid. Standard troop facilities and the Hero Precinct do not manage biological units.
3. Activate the Structure: Meet the settlement Headquarters tier requirement to open the building's biological customization trees, stat module slots, and deployment controls.

Activating this base provides passive bonuses to infantry durability, rider charge rates, and hunter lethality across all squads, while establishing the prerequisite structure to house the MK2.

Clearing the Behemoth Trial Event

The Behemoth Trial is a multi-day event that supplies the genetic components and proprietary unlock tokens needed to assemble the Dinosaur MK2.

Progression Sequence

Progress through the event by completing tasks in a sequential loop:

1. Daily Quests: Complete daily trial tasks to gather basic entry currencies and initial genetic materials.
2. Preset Combat Stages: Clear early infected waves using provided tactical presets to learn the unit's ability timings.
3. Custom Squad Encounters: Deploy your own settlement marches against higher-tier boss stages to earn calibration cores, genetic sequencing fluids, and MK2 unlock fragments.
4. Lab Upgrades: Funnel collected fluids directly into your research base nodes to finalize the unit unlock and unlock baseline combat talents.

Combat Formation Strategy

Trial stages enforce strict clear timers and punish fragile marches. The Dinosaur MK2 relies on recurring skill cycles to apply its damage ramps. Assemble your trial squads with heavy front-row infantry to absorb incoming strikes. Overloading your march with hunters risks early squad collapse before the behemoth triggers its ultimate abilities.

Dinosaur MK2 vs. Gorilla MK1 Tactical Roles

Choosing between your available behemoths depends on whether you are defending your settlement or leading an attack.

Keep the Gorilla MK1 assigned to defensive garrisons during incoming attacks or Alliance Throwdown defense phases. Switch to the Dinosaur MK2 when launching offensive rallies against enemy alliance towers, contested fortresses, or opposing capitals to strip enemy infantry defenses.

Resource Management and Next Steps

Securing the MK2 requires balancing limited event speedups against regular progression:

• Prioritize Token Thresholds: Push stage completion to secure every non-renewable MK2 unlock token milestone before the event timer expires.
• Conserve General Speedups: Avoid dumping high-tier universal speedups into standard research lab nodes during the initial trial run. Save general reserves for upcoming State Warfare preparation stages.
• Prepare Alliance Rally Presets: Because an alliance rally only benefits from the aura of the host's active behemoth, designated rally leads should prioritize offensive dinosaur nodes immediately. Alliance members joining those rallies should adjust march presets by increasing rider and hunter counts to capitalize on the host's armor-shredding debuffs.
