Chapter 1: The First 24 Hours – From Helpless to Hopeful

Your first day in 7 Days to Die is a frantic race against the setting sun. The goal is simple: get the essential tools, find a roof to put over your head, and survive until dawn. Follow these steps, and you’ll turn a death sentence into a fighting chance.

The Golden Hour: Your First Steps

You’ve just spawned into the world. Before you do anything else, look at the top right of your screen. You’ll see the “Basics of Survival” quests. Complete them immediately. These aren’t just a tutorial; they are a critical power boost. Finishing them rewards you with four precious skill points, giving you a massive head start that would otherwise take hours of grinding to achieve.

Your first actions should be gathering the three foundational resources:

1. Plant Fibers: Punch the tall grass and small green shrubs on the ground.
2. Wood: Punch the small, twig-like trees and branches scattered on the forest floor.
3. Small Stones: Look for the small, individual rocks on the ground.

These three ingredients are the building blocks for everything you need to survive your first day.

Crafting Your Starter Toolkit

Open your inventory and navigate to the crafting menu. With the basic resources you’ve gathered, your priority is to craft a starter toolkit.

• Stone Axe: This is your most important early tool. It lets you chop down trees and break up large boulders far more efficiently than your bare hands.
• Wooden Club: Your first reliable melee weapon. It’s not fancy, but it’ll save your life when a zombie gets too close.
• Basic Bow & Stone Arrows: This is your key to survival. The bow allows you to engage zombies from a safe distance. Loot every bird’s nest you see on the ground for feathers—they are essential for crafting arrows.

Item	Recipe
Stone Axe	2 Small Stone, 4 Wood, 2 Plant Fibers
Wooden Club	5 Wood
Basic Bow	8 Wood, 4 Plant Fibers
Stone Arrow	1 Small Stone, 1 Wood, 1 Feather

Finding Shelter Before Sundown

Do not try to build a base from scratch on your first day. You lack the time, resources, and skills. Your only goal is to find an existing Point of Interest (POI) to secure for the night. Look for a small, simple house. Ideally, find one with a second floor or an attic, as this provides a defensible fallback position.

Once you find a suitable building, follow this checklist to secure it:

1. Clear the Premises: Cautiously enter and eliminate any zombies inside. Use your bow to pick them off from a distance if possible.
2. Barricade Entrances: Use your Stone Axe to upgrade the main door. Craft several Wood Frames and use them to block any broken windows, open doorways, or holes in the walls.
3. Set Your Spawn Point: Craft a Bedroll from plant fibers and place it somewhere safe inside your new shelter. This ensures that if you die, you will respawn here instead of a random location on the map.

When night falls, the rules change. Zombies become faster, more aggressive, and can detect you from further away. Your first night is not about fighting; it’s about hiding. Stay crouched, stay quiet, and stay out of sight. Use the night to craft more arrows, repair your tools, and plan your next move.

Chapter 2: Forging Your Survivor – Skills & Progression

7 Days to Die is a true survival RPG, and your character’s growth is central to your long-term success. Understanding how to level up effectively is the difference between a scavenger who barely gets by and a hardened survivor who thrives. Progression is a three-pronged system: spending skill points on attributes and perks, finding crafting magazines to unlock recipes, and hunting for perk books to gain unique abilities.

The Five Pillars of Survival: Your Core Attributes

Your character is defined by five core Attributes: Perception, Strength, Fortitude, Agility, and Intellect. Every time you level up, you gain a skill point. You can spend these points to increase an attribute’s level or to buy perks within that attribute’s tree. Each point invested in an attribute also provides a powerful passive bonus, increasing headshot damage and dismemberment chance with its associated weapon types.

• Perception: The attribute of the marksman and the scavenger. It governs rifles, spears, and explosives. Key perks include Dead Eye for precision damage, Salvage Operations for harvesting more resources from machinery, and the invaluable Lucky Looter for finding better gear.
• Strength: The attribute of the brawler and the builder. It governs shotguns, clubs, and sledgehammers. Key perks include Pummel Pete for devastating club attacks, Miner 69’er for tearing through rock and wood, and Master Chef for creating powerful food and drinks.
• Fortitude: The attribute of the unstoppable tank. It governs machine guns and fists. Key perks include The Brawler for turning your fists into lethal weapons, Pain Tolerance for shrugging off damage, and Living Off the Land for mastering farming.
• Agility: The attribute of the silent killer and acrobat. It governs bows, handguns, knives, and the SMG-5. Key perks include Archery for silent takedowns, Hidden Strike for massive sneak attack damage, and the game-changing Parkour for unparalleled mobility.
• Intellect: The attribute of the brilliant engineer and charismatic leader. It governs stun batons and robotic turrets. Key perks include Better Barter for favorable trading, Advanced Engineering for unlocking essential workstations, and Grease Monkey for building vehicles.

The “Learn by Reading” System

Skill points are only half the story. To truly master the wasteland, you need to hit the books. The world is filled with literature that grants you knowledge you can’t get from leveling up alone.

• Crafting Skill Magazines: These are your key to unlocking new recipes. Want to build a motorcycle? You need to find and read Vehicle Adventures magazines. Want to craft a steel pickaxe? You’ll need to read Tools Digest magazines. The perks you invest in directly and significantly increase the drop rate of their related magazines, creating a powerful synergy. For example, putting points into Boomstick (Strength) not only makes you better with shotguns but also makes you find far more Shotgun Weekly magazines, which unlock shotgun recipes and mods.
• Perk Books: These are different from magazines. Found in places like mailboxes, dumpsters, and bookstores, each book grants a small, permanent bonus. These books are part of seven-volume sets. Reading all seven volumes of a single set, like “The Art of Mining” or “The Great Heist,” unlocks a final, powerful completion perk that can dramatically enhance your abilities.

Essential Perks for Every Survivor

While you should specialize your build, some perks offer such incredible utility that they are must-haves for nearly every survivor. Prioritizing these early on will make your life significantly easier. One of the most important is Parkour, as Rank 2 allows you to jump two blocks high, fundamentally changing how you can escape danger and traverse buildings.

Perk Name	Rank	Attribute Req.	Cost (Points)	Key Benefits
Parkour	1	Agility 2	1	Safe fall distance increased by 1 meter.
	2	Agility 4	1	Jump height increased by 1 meter (lets you jump 2 blocks high).
	3	Agility 6	1	Suffer no sprains from long falls.
	4	Agility 8	1	Fall from any height without taking damage (with a roll).
	5	Agility 10	1	Wall run up to 3 meters horizontally or vertically.
Lucky Looter	1	None	1	+5% Loot Bonus, 10% faster looting.
	2	None	2	+10% Loot Bonus, 20% faster looting.
	3	None	2	+15% Loot Bonus, 40% faster looting.
	4	None	2	+20% Loot Bonus, 60% faster looting.
	5	None	3	+25% Loot Bonus, 80% faster looting.
Miner 69’er	1	Strength 1	1	+30% Block Damage, +10% Tool Damage, reduced stamina cost.
	2	Strength 2	1	+60% Block Damage, +20% Tool Damage, reduced stamina cost.

	4	Strength 5	1	+120% Block Damage, +40% Tool Damage, reduced stamina cost.
	5	Strength 7	1	+150% Block Damage, +50% Tool Damage, reduced stamina cost.
Salvage Ops.	1	Perception 1	1	+20% Resource Gain, +10% Damage with salvage tools.
	2	Perception 2	1	+40% Resource Gain, +20% Damage with salvage tools.
	3	Perception 3	1	+60% Resource Gain, +30% Damage with salvage tools.
	4	Perception 5	1	+80% Resource Gain, +40% Damage with salvage tools.
	5	Perception 7	1	+100% Resource Gain, +50% Damage with salvage tools.
Master Chef	1	None	1	Cook 20% faster. Find more cooking magazines/ingredients.
	2	None	2	Cook 40% faster. Use 10% fewer ingredients for most recipes.
	3	None	2	Cook 60% faster. Use 20% fewer ingredients for most recipes.

Chapter 3: The Art of War – Mastering Combat

In 7 Days to Die, combat is a brutal and constant reality. Whether you’re clearing a house for supplies or defending your base from a Blood Moon horde, your survival depends on your ability to fight. Mastering combat isn’t just about having the biggest gun; it’s about understanding your enemy, managing your resources, and choosing the right tool for the job.

Know Your Enemy: A Survivor’s Bestiary

The wasteland is home to nearly 60 different types of undead, each with unique behaviors and threats. Knowing what you’re up against is the first step to victory.

• The Shamblers: These are your garden-variety walkers. They are slow and predictable during the day, but their strength is in numbers. Never let them surround you.
• The Runners (Ferals): You’ll know them by their glowing eyes. Ferals run at full sprint, day or night, and hit significantly harder. Their appearance is a clear sign that your Game Stage is increasing, and the apocalypse is getting more dangerous.
• The Specialists: These zombies are designed to break your strategy.
  • Spider Zombie: This agile freak can climb walls, making your high ground feel a lot less safe.
  • Screamer: Attracted by the “heat” from forges, campfires, and gunfire, this zombie will let out a piercing shriek that summons a small horde to your location. Kill her quickly and quietly.
  • Infected Police Officer: This bloated corpse will spit acidic vomit from a distance. If you get too close, he’ll charge and explode.
  • Demolisher: The ultimate siege weapon. This massive zombie has C4 strapped to its chest. If you shoot the glowing button on the C4, it will detonate, leveling a huge chunk of your base. Aim for the head only.
• Biome Threats: The “Storm’s Brewing” update introduced new biome-specific nightmares. Be on the lookout for the disease-cloud-spewing Plague Spitter in the desert and the boulder-throwing Frost Claw in the snow biome.

Melee vs. Ranged: Choosing Your Weapon

Your combat style will be defined by your choice of weapons, which is directly tied to your attribute build.

• Melee Combat: The art of close-quarters battle is essential for conserving precious ammunition. The core strategy is “hit and move”—step in to strike, then immediately backpedal out of the zombie’s reach. Each melee weapon type offers a different tactical advantage.
  • Spears (Perception): Offer the best reach, allowing you to poke zombies from a safe distance.
  • Clubs (Strength): Excellent for crowd control, with a high chance to knock zombies down.
  • Sledgehammers (Strength): The kings of raw damage. Slow to swing but can pulp a zombie in a single hit. Drains stamina quickly.
  • Knives (Agility): Fast attacks with low stamina cost that cause enemies to bleed out over time.
  • Stun Batons (Intellect): Low damage, but unparalleled utility. A charged hit can stun and knock back multiple zombies, giving you critical breathing room.
• Ranged Combat: Your primary tool for dealing with dangerous special zombies and surviving the Blood Moon. Headshots are always the most effective way to put a zombie down for good.
  • Bows/Crossbows (Agility): The workhorses of the apocalypse. Ammo is cheap to craft (wood, stone, feathers), and they are completely silent, making them perfect for stealthy takedowns.
  • Guns (Various Attributes): Pistols, SMGs, shotguns, rifles, and machine guns offer immense stopping power. However, ammunition is expensive to craft and loud, attracting unwanted attention. Save your bullets for when you truly need them.

The Power of Stealth

Never underestimate the power of a quiet approach. By crouching, you become significantly harder for zombies to detect. This allows you to sneak up on them and deliver a devastating sneak attack, which grants a massive damage multiplier.¹⁷ Often, a single well-placed arrow from stealth is enough to kill a zombie before it or its friends even know you’re there. Use stealth to thin out the zombies on the outside of a building before you breach the doors.

Chapter 4: The Crafting Bible – Sticks to Steel

In 7 Days to Die, if you can’t build it, you won’t survive. Crafting is the backbone of your existence, transforming the junk of the old world into the tools, weapons, and fortifications of your new one. Mastering the crafting system is a journey from stone tools to an automated, steel-clad fortress.

Your Survival Workshop: Essential Stations

While you can craft basic items like stone tools and bandages directly from your inventory, real technological progress requires specialized workstations.

• Campfire: This is the first workstation you’ll build. It is your hub for all things culinary and chemical. With a Cooking Pot or Cooking Grill attached, you can boil murky water to make it safe to drink, cook raw meat into life-saving meals, and brew teas with powerful buffs.
• Forge: The Forge is the heart of your industrial operation and a massive step up in your progression. It smelts raw resources like iron, lead, and clay into refined materials like Forged Iron and Forged Steel. These materials are the primary ingredients for crafting all mid-to-late game tools, weapons, and building blocks.
• Workbench: If the Forge is the heart, the Workbench is the brain. This is where you assemble complex items. Everything from advanced weapons and armor to vehicle parts and other workstations is crafted here. Building a Workbench is a major milestone that signals your transition from the early game to the mid-game.
• Chemistry Station: The advanced version of the Campfire. It allows you to craft items like Gunpowder, Glue, and powerful medicines much more efficiently, often using fewer resources than other methods.

Harvesting 101: The Right Tool for the Job

Using the correct tool for the resource you’re gathering is critical for efficiency. Using the wrong tool will still work, but it will be incredibly slow and yield fewer resources.

• Axe: Use on trees, wood objects, and animal corpses.
• Pickaxe: Use on stone, boulders, and all ore veins (iron, coal, nitrate, etc.).
• Shovel: Use on dirt, sand, clay, and gravel.
• Wrench/Ratchet/Impact Driver: These are your salvaging tools. Use them to dismantle mechanical objects like cars, file cabinets, and air conditioners. This is the primary way to acquire essential crafting components like Mechanical Parts, Electrical Parts, Springs, and Scrap Polymers.³⁶ Investing skill points in the Salvage Operations perk is crucial, as it can double the number of resources you get from each salvaged object.³⁶

Managing the Hoard: Inventory and Storage

You will quickly discover that your backpack can’t hold all the treasures the apocalypse has to offer. Effective storage management is key to an efficient operation.

• Craft Secure Storage Chests: Build dozens of them. A well-organized base is a productive base. A common and highly effective strategy is to create dedicated chests for different categories of items: Building Materials (wood, stone, concrete), Crafting Components (parts, polymers, leather), Weapons & Armor, and Consumables (food, drinks, medicine).
• Establish Forward Operating Bases: The world is huge and running back to your main base to drop off loot after every quest is a massive waste of time. Many veteran players establish small outposts near each trader. These outposts consist of little more than a bedroll and a few storage chests. After completing a quest, you can quickly dump all your loot at the local outpost and immediately grab another quest, maximizing your productivity during the day.

Chapter 5: Fortress of Solitude – Building to Survive

When the sun sets on the seventh day, the Blood Moon rises, and the horde comes for you. In that moment, your survival depends entirely on the strength of the walls around you. Building in 7 Days to Die is a unique challenge that blends creativity with a ruthless physics engine. A poorly designed base will collapse under its own weight long before the zombies get to it.

The Laws of Physics: Structural Integrity

Unlike many other building games, 7 Days to Die features a realistic structural integrity system. Buildings require proper support, or they will come crashing down. The system is based on two concepts:

• Vertical Support: Any block connected in an unbroken chain to bedrock is considered vertically supported. A single pillar can, in theory, be built to the sky limit.
• Horizontal Support: This determines how far a block can extend outward from a vertical support. Each material has a specific Mass and a Horizontal Support value. A block can support a chain of other blocks as long as their combined mass does not exceed its horizontal support value.

This system punishes lazy building but rewards clever engineering. You can enable a debug menu option called “Show Stability,” which overlays a color-coded heat map on your base. Green blocks are perfectly stable, while blocks that shift towards red are under immense strain and close to collapsing. This is an essential tool for any ambitious architect.

Material Matters: From Wood to Steel

The material you use to build your base is the single most important factor in its durability. As you progress, you will unlock stronger materials that can withstand more punishment.

Material	Hit Points (HP)	Upgrade Resources	Key Feature
Wood	500	Wood	Very cheap, but weak. Only for starter shelters.
Cobblestone	1,500	Cobblestone Rocks	The best early-game material. 3x stronger than wood and easy to mass-produce from clay and stone.
Concrete	3,000	Concrete Mix	The standard for mid-to-late game bases. Requires a Cement Mixer to craft efficiently.
Steel	10,000	Forged Steel	The ultimate defensive material. Extremely resource-intensive but can withstand incredible punishment.

Your First Horde Base: The Kill Corridor

For your first Blood Moon, you don’t need a complex castle. You need a simple, effective killing machine that exploits the zombie AI. The most reliable beginner design is the “kill corridor,” an elevated platform with a single, long ramp that funnels the zombies into a choke point. This design works because the zombie AI is programmed to always take the path of least resistance to reach you. By providing them with one very obvious (but very deadly) path, you can control the flow of the horde.

Blueprint for a Day 7 Horde Base:

1. Foundation: Find a flat area and build several pillars out of Cobblestone, at least 4-5 blocks high. This elevation prevents most zombies from reaching you directly.
2. Fighting Platform: Build a small, secure platform on top of the pillars. This is where you will stand. A 3×3 area is plenty.
3. The Kill Corridor: From one side of your platform, build a long ramp leading down to the ground. This ramp should be only one block wide. This forces the zombies to approach you in a single-file line.
4. The Kill Window: At the top of the ramp where it meets your platform, leave an opening. Place Iron Bars or horizontally-oriented Plate blocks in this opening. These create a window that you can shoot and melee through, but zombies cannot pass.
5. Secure Access: Your only way onto the platform should be a ladder that starts two blocks off the ground. You will have to jump to grab it. Zombies cannot perform this jump, making it a secure entrance.

For maximum safety, consider building this horde base a short distance away from your main crafting and storage base. This ensures that if your horde base is overrun or heavily damaged, your valuable workstations and loot remain untouched.

Chapter 6: The Apocalypse Economy – Quests & Traders

Even in a world overrun by the dead, commerce finds a way. Scattered throughout the wasteland are fortified compounds run by traders. These NPCs are your lifeline, providing quests, selling rare goods, and buying the loot you scavenge from the ruins. Engaging with this economy is the fastest and most reliable way to progress in 7 Days to Die.

Meet the Traders: Your Lifeline in the Wasteland

There are five unique traders in the world of Navezgane, each with their own personality and specialized inventory. The game’s main questline will guide you from one to the next as you progress through the biomes.

• Trader Rekt (Forest): Your first contact. A generalist who sells a bit of everything, with a focus on food and farming supplies.
• Trader Jen (Burnt Forest): A former medic who specializes in medical supplies, chems, and healing recipes.
• Trader Bob (Desert): A mechanic who deals in tools, vehicle parts, and workstations.
• Trader Hugh (Snow): A grizzled hunter who stocks the best weapons, ammunition, and weapon mods.
• Trader Joel (Wasteland): A former clothing store owner who sells the best armor in the game.

Traders operate on a strict schedule. Their gates open at 04:05 and slam shut at 21:50. If you are inside their compound when they close, you will be unceremoniously teleported outside the walls. Their compounds are indestructible safe zones; zombies cannot enter, making them perfect places to catch your breath or sort your inventory.

Questing for Profit and Power

Traders are your primary source of quests, which are the most efficient way to earn Duke’s Casino Tokens (the game’s currency), acquire high-quality gear as rewards, and level up your character.

• Quest Tiers: Quests are organized into six tiers of increasing difficulty. Completing quests for a trader increases your quest tier with them, unlocking more challenging missions in tougher locations with far better rewards. The main questline guides you through these tiers, eventually sending you to establish contact with the next trader in a more dangerous biome.
• Quest Types: The traders will offer several types of jobs:
  • Fetch: Enter a POI and retrieve a hidden supply satchel.
  • Clear: Enter a POI and eliminate all zombies inside.
  • Buried Supplies: Follow a map marker to a location and dig up a hidden treasure chest.
• Pro Tip: Double-Dipping: A powerful strategy for maximizing loot is to “double-dip.” When you accept a quest, the game resets the POI, including all loot containers. You can exploit this by thoroughly looting a building before you activate the quest marker. Once you’ve cleaned it out, start the quest. The building will instantly respawn all its loot, allowing you to loot it a second time, effectively doubling your haul.

The Art of the Deal: Bartering 101

Everything you find has value. Loot you don’t need should be sold to traders for Dukes. Early on, items like old cash, precious metals (silver, gold, diamonds), and duplicate schematics or mods are excellent sources of income. Investing points in the Better Barter perk in the Intellect tree is highly recommended. It not only improves your buying and selling prices but also gives you access to the trader’s “secret stash,” which often contains rare and high-tier items you can’t find anywhere else.

Chapter 7: Enduring the Wasteland – Advanced Tactics

You’ve survived your first week. You have a base, a steady supply of food, and a decent set of tools. Now, the real challenge begins. The later stages of 7 Days to Die introduce complex systems that will test your preparation and adaptability. Mastering these mechanics is the final step to becoming a true veteran of the apocalypse.

Conquering the Biomes: The New Survival System

The “Storm’s Brewing” update fundamentally changed how you interact with the environment. The five major biomes—Forest, Burnt Forest, Desert, Snow, and Wasteland—each present a unique environmental hazard. Instead of simply wearing warm clothes in the snow, you now have to contend with accumulating effects like smoke inhalation, radiation, and extreme temperatures.

• Biome Challenges: To survive in these harsh environments, you must complete a series of biome-specific challenges listed in your quest log. These tasks might involve killing specific zombie types or harvesting unique resources found only in that biome.
• Survival Gear: Completing a biome’s full challenge set unlocks the recipe to craft a special piece of Survival Gear. Equipping this item makes you permanently immune to that biome’s specific hazard.
• Consumables: Before you can craft the permanent gear, you can venture into dangerous biomes by crafting and consuming special smoothies. These provide temporary resistance to the environmental effects, giving you a limited window to complete your challenges or loot a high-value area.

The Unseen Enemy: Demystifying Game Stage

As you play, you’ll notice that the zombies become progressively tougher. Simple walkers are replaced by feral variants, and special infected appear more frequently. This is not random; it’s controlled by the Game Stage system, a dynamic difficulty metric that tailors the challenge to your performance.

The Game Stage is calculated based on two primary factors: your character’s level and the number of in-game days you have survived without dying. The basic formula is:

(Player Level+Days Survived)×Difficulty Multiplier

The “Days Survived” value is capped by your current level, and each death reduces this value.51 A higher Game Stage means the game will spawn more difficult zombies, both in the world and during Blood Moon hordes. This elegant system ensures that skilled players are continually challenged, while players who are struggling will face less intense threats, preventing them from hitting a wall.

From Pedals to Propellers: Vehicle Progression

The world of 7 Days to Die is vast, and walking everywhere is not a viable long-term strategy. Acquiring a vehicle is a top priority for efficient exploration and looting. Vehicle progression is tied to finding and reading Vehicle Adventures magazines, which unlock the recipes for progressively better modes of transport.

Vehicle	Magazines Required	Storage Slots	Key Feature
Bicycle	5	9	No fuel required; quiet.
Minibike	20	27	First motorized vehicle; fast and nimble.
Motorcycle	45	36	Faster and more durable than the Minibike.
4×4 Truck	70	81	Huge storage capacity; can transport multiple players.
Gyrocopter	100	27	The ultimate endgame vehicle; allows for flight.

Mastering the Blood Moon

Late-game Blood Moon hordes are a spectacle of destruction. You will face dozens of zombies at once, including multiple Feral and Radiated variants of every type, alongside the most dangerous special infected.

• Dealing with Demolishers: These base-wreckers are your highest priority target. The key is to kill them without triggering their explosive charge. Aim exclusively for the head. High-powered rifles with armor-piercing rounds are your best tool for the job. If a Demolisher’s charge is accidentally triggered (you’ll hear a beeping sound and see the light on its chest flash), you can sometimes deactivate it by shooting the charge again, but it’s risky. It’s far safer to ensure they die before they ever get close to your walls.
• Advanced Defenses: Your simple kill corridor will eventually be overwhelmed. Late-game bases incorporate advanced defenses like Blade Traps to dismember zombies, Electric Fence Posts to stun and slow them, and automated SMG or Shotgun Turrets to provide supplemental firepower. A layered defense with multiple fallback positions is crucial for surviving the onslaught of a high Game Stage horde night.

The apocalypse is unforgiving, but it is not unbeatable. With knowledge, preparation, and a little bit of luck, you have what it takes to survive. Now go out there and show the dead what it means to be alive.
