Screamer:

Screamer appears at the very start of the game when you with your friend exploring the refugee camp. This zombie does not has arms so practically it can’t attack you but it can scream and draw attention of other zombies around. So a Screamer is more like the alarm zombie, it can keep on calling up his friends. If you spot a Screamer try killing it first, you can crush it with car or shoot it with a weapon.

Bloater:

Bloater is easy to recognize, this zombie has a huge belly. Try to maintain a good distance from this one, because once it dies it releases a toxic cloud that can kill humans pretty easily. Even if you try using a car and crush him the toxic cloud can enter the vehicle. So use a good ranged vehicle to take him down from a distance.

Armored Zombies:

For this one you will have to use melee weapons. Firearms will not work much on them, you can use melee weapons to cause max damage.

Feral Zombies:

Feral Zombies can be killed by crushing them with car, but if you are on the ground facing them then be ready to counterattack. The zombie has yellow skin, once it attacks you jump to avoid it. Next you can perform a finishing move to kill it instantly.

Juggernauts:

Juggernauts are the strongest zombies in State of Decay 2, it can charge towards you with full speed. The only way to take him down is take a headshot, it will stun the zombie for a while and keep doing it until it bends down. That is the time you have to perform a finishing move. You can use explosives for causing high damage.

Plague Zombies:

Plague Zombies are one that can infect you and turn you into a zombie. So you have to carry the cure with you. These zombies swarm mostly around Blood Plagues, you can distract them by a firecracker.
