1. 🎮 Safe Combat with Zombies, How to Use Door Hatches
· This is a useful technique for safely fighting indoor zombies.
· Install a wooden hatch in front of the door frame so the arrow points towards you.
· Wooden hatches can be crafted from 10 wood in the crafting tab and are cost-effective.
· Once the hatch is installed, zombies cannot pass through the door frame, allowing you to attack them unilaterally.
· Precautions:
· Zombies can attack and destroy the hatch, so if its durability decreases, you must repair it with wood.
· If there are obstacles like trash in the hatch installation space, you cannot install it, so you must dismantle them beforehand.
· It's best to install the hatch so that a wall is above where the zombie stands. If installed on the opposite side, zombies might overlap and pass through.

· This tip allows you to get the contents of a container (trash piles, cars, etc.) while also obtaining the container's materials.
· After you start searching a container, immediately cancel before it's completed.
· In this state, if you scrap the container, its contents will drop as a backpack, allowing you to obtain both materials and contents.
· This is especially useful when scrapping cars, allowing you to check the vehicle's interior and obtain scrapping materials simultaneously.

3. 🗺️ Double Item Farming in Quest Buildings
· In 7 Days to Die, when you start a quest, the state of the corresponding building is reset.
· Using this, you can pre-farm rewards and defeat zombies within the building before starting the quest.
· Afterwards, when you start the quest, the building will reset, regenerating zombies and rewards, allowing you to gain double experience and resources.
· This method is valid for all quests except 'Buried Supplies Quests'.
· Early quests, in particular, are efficient because the buildings are small, allowing quick access to the reward room.
· Precautions:
· When a quest starts, all player-built structures (hatches, storage boxes, etc.) within the building disappear.
· To temporarily store items, you must install a storage box after starting the quest, or outside the quest area (where the map name in the upper right changes to 'Forest', etc.).

4. 💨 Prevent Zombie Lures! Scent Suppression Methods
· The scent system, added from version 2.5, causes a scent to spread around you when you carry raw meat or eat food, attracting zombies to attack.
· The scent spreads up to 100m, causing zombies to chase the player.
· Here are ways to remove scent:
· Handling Raw Meat Scent:
· The scent from holding raw meat reappears after 10 seconds, even if you submerge yourself in water.
· Solution 1: Craft 'Raw Meat Bundles' with paper and plant fibers to eliminate the scent.
· Solution 2: Store it in the inventory of a vehicle like a bicycle to prevent scent.
· Solution 3 (Advanced): Before the 10-second countdown, drop the raw meat and pick it up again to reset the countdown while moving (inefficient for long-distance travel).
· The scent spreads up to 100m, causing zombies to chase the player.
· Here are ways to remove scent:
| Method | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Time Passage | Food scent gradually decreases | Very slow, inefficient |
| Take Shelter Indoors | Scent range reduced by 5% | Indoor zombie risk, inefficient |
| Submerge in Water | Food scent immediately removed | Requires water source, difficult in deserts, etc. |
| Use Water Bucket | Food scent immediately removed | Craft a bucket (7 forged iron) and fill it with water. Pour water on the ground and submerge yourself to remove scent. Poured water can be recovered, infinitely reusable. Most recommended method |

5. ⛏️ Easily Clear Buried Supplies Quests and Collection Quests
· Buried Supplies Quest (Tutorial Quest):
· After moving to the quest flag, dig down 3-4 blocks deep directly below the flag.
· If you start the quest while looking up, in most cases, you can find the buried supplies near the excavated spot.
· Zombies are summoned the moment you retrieve 'White River Supplies', so craft 5 building blocks beforehand.
· After retrieving the supplies, jump and place blocks under your feet to easily escape the pit, allowing you to complete the quest without fighting zombies.
· Collection Quest:
· The purpose of this quest is to retrieve supplies, so there's no need to fight zombies.
· If you understand the building's structure and supply locations, you can break blocks to create a shortcut, directly infiltrate to the target supplies, retrieve only what's needed, and return.
· This method's difficulty varies depending on the building's shape and supply placement, so it requires practice.
