The difference between staying with one trader or starting a new trader with the open routes is that each trader sells different books for different needs, Jen has more medical items where as Rekt has more harvesting items, Joel does armor, Hugh does ammo and weapons and the one you needed the most for vehicles and tools is Bob. Anyways it was a hella fun video!
Yeah. Haven't played in a while, but usually I did a full trader round trip every reset day to completely sell and buy everything needed. With maxed int skills it's really more beneficial to buy certain items instead of taking care of them yourself.
it also gives you missions at different pois. In a21, your best bet is to find the trader near a Crack a book. You can find dozens of books and magazines in one go
I think the main reason for the death on day 43 is the extended path and extra fence in your fighting position, it makes zombies group up together and break quickly. More easier horde night base design should narrow the path down outside the position, so that zombies would fall down to the ground and circle back later
also best to raise your base at least 4 off the ground to avoid them being able to hit your floor directly.. personally I go up about 12.. this will make the zombies not enter rage mode when they fall
Seeing you not use "a" to redeem books and stuff, and then also seeing you not press "r" on loot to grab all, or loot with one item in it, killed me lol
Tip for the future, the valves on the tubing can turn off the fires, cause you shut the gas off. Also, if the frame of destroyed hatches remains, you can just repair it back up from the frame. And you can shoot throw holes in doors, and some furniture gaps, they finally added that ... quite a while ago actually.
The fact that you survived 23 days without crafting dew collector is achievement on its own. Also not harvesting meat and leather from all those boars hurt me more than it should. And as I think someone already mentioned in the comments - from the same radial menu you choose option to change shapes you can select "advanced rotate" to allow rotation of held item in all axis, so you can put lamp on the wall or even ceiling.
i play 7 days on the most hardcore settings there is, and ive never crafted a dew collector. the game gives you more than enough murky water + coffee powder in loot and if you spend a few mins collecting golden rod flowers or the red ones, youll have enough to last you weeks in game.
@@scubasteve2189 yeah you can just raid the kitchen and bathroom of one POI and come away with more water than a dew collector can give you in a day. and if you plan right you can hit 5-7 tier ones in one day
What I really like, is how he has these moments in between where I feel like a real Apocalypse Survivor would act. Walking up the aisle of a zombie infested wedding, bashing in the zombie brides head, singing the song as he goes up stage, just to turn around and look down at all the seats like he was gonna get married.
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Bro, ain't know way Christians made bots to comment on random TH-cam videos to tell people to repent. This is why people hate them 💀🙏
Incredibly refreshing. I love playing games cold without figuring it all out first. I'm so tired of watching people play perfect games. You guys had a ton of fun. Keep it up !
The main point of going to different traders is that each one specializes in a type of item for sale; this is the replacement mechanic for the Lucky Loot Safe option that all traders used to have. Hope that helps, great work on the video and the editing is spectacularly well done, kudos. :D
another point (imo) is, traders in the snow or the wasteland will send you to the nearest POIs in those areas... so they are better to find out where the really nice spots for looting are. when I'm fit for lvl 4 jobs in the woodland I tend to search for snow and wasteland for the waaaay better loottable.... Btw... you haven't enjoyed 7days to its fullest before doing a lvl 6 job in a nice jail in the wasteland, literally seeing 30-40 radiated or at least feral zombies swarming after you... such a fun xD Oh, and the traders you'd need for vehicle magazines is Bob ^^
@@reginareinecke5465 i get to a point where i complete every job at one trader in a day even at higher tiers so i'll level 2-3 traders just to keep the quests coming in. i play on 2 hour days and will take 3 quests before night then turn them all in the next day. but your point about better loot tables is also very good to note, that wasteland has the highest loot bonus, followed by forest POIs. my last playthrough had 4 traders within 5km of each other and i had a crazy high level at day 20 or so, quests in general are pretty juicy with longer days
@reginareinecke5465 exactly and every trader has their own group of pois nearby.. so if you can find a trader near good pois like a Crack a book it can make you op early
Agreed, i stopped playing around april to march and was shocked with the alpha 21 update, at first i hated it but the extra bit of grind grew on me and makes me love it even more
I’m glad it works for you, but I have to completely disagree. After a while, the changes in a21 felt so terrible that I finally just went back to a20 and it finally feels like a fin and balanced game again for me. 🤷🏻♂️

Hi, just wanted to let you know, if you chop down tree stumps, it has a chance for honey, which cures infections. I don't know percentages, but ones that spawn within POI's do have a higher chance than ones that spawn within the wild.
I absolutely loved what they did with the skill books. It means that you can now focus your points on making yourself stronger without having to sacrifice points to make better tools, weapons and armor. Sure it can sometimes feel RNG based when trying to find them, but they seemed to balance parts of the game around it and for the most part nailed it. Focusing points on improving your character’s lethality is much better balanced so depending on what difficulty you take it doesn’t feel nearly as grindy as it did. Zombies seem like they hit harder and can cripple you bit easier, but the loot system sort of compliments this. You find better loot sooner without feeling like overkill. And then there are just tons of other little quality of life changes that would take me hours to go through so the only way is to experience it for yourself. This game has become much more accessible for newcomers and adds a fun balanced challenge for veterans. This game has come such a long way with some changes not always being so great and the rest absolutely cementing this game into GOAT status. PS I hope if there is any change at all in A22 it’s not going to be skillbooks. This part of the game should be finished and stamped because this was a game fixing change in my opinion at least.
Putting a point in skill will increase the chance of getting a book related to that skill so its very worthwhile to put points in advanced engineering and vecile early to accelerate into later game
You've gotten a lot better, only advice I'd have is get more familiar with throwables and or exploding arrows/bolts. It really thins out hordes when their stacked up.
The traders now specialize in different things. You can get a little bit of everything, but for a better selection of medical supplies you want to build up that trader rep with Jen. Joel is armor, Hugh is weapons and ammo, Bob is tools and vehicles, and Rekt is food and farming supplies. If your map has duplicates of a given trader, your rep for that trader transfers over. FYI Spears are a lot better than they used to be. They have longer range, which is very useful early if your difficulty is turned up, but they don't really come into their own until you get the Penetrator perk leveled up a bit. Penetrator allows your spear thrusts to go through zombies and hit the ones behind them, which is extremely useful for your hatch defense. I still think the knockdown from clubs is very powerful, but if you add a weighted head mod to your spears it helps even out the knockdowns. As to your hatch defense, add a second hatch in the square behind the first -- you can then have a trap door match up with the other side of the same wall. It just gives you a fallback in case the first door takes too much damage. Once you have power, make the powered hatches or drawbridges, and you can use that on your zombie walkway wired to a switch inside your base -- then use the switch to open up a section where the zombies will fall through if you need a breather to repair blocks or weapons, reload, etc...
I just recently started A21 for the 1st time. I gotta admit I originally hated the changes to magazines and leveling but after a couple week in. I'm ok with them I still miss the OLD way, but is just extra steps for the same results. So even though I'm ok with the extended challenge, I can't help they artificially extended early mid game for the sake of adding content. Other than that, I've been having fun, and I appreciate some of the visual changes
Grease monkey and lockpicking will get you a bunch of vehicle books. Hit the Pass n gass POIs, best bet for vehicle books. You can get 2-3 workbench books in trader workbenches, so it's a good thing to do trader runs, especially if you have respawn loot on. Making runs into the wasteland and looting cars and POIs there will net you great tools and parts, police cars will net you good weapons too. I got a level 6 auto shotty on day 5 there on my last playthrough. Current play got a level 3 impact driver, 5 hunting knife, and 6 fire axe by day 5 and 6 in wasteland. Motorcycle by day 5 as well. Knife/machine gun is my favorite build. Great for running through jobs and POIs FAST. Don't get the machete, the hunting knife is much faster, knocks down, and uses a lot less stamina. Shotgun is great for horde nights. I still can't believe you found a College Jacket on the first day!!! Best jacket in the game for the 10% faster run. that 2.2k run to the trader would have taken A LOT longer if you hadn't found that! Great video. 7 Days to Die is my favorite game. over 3k hours and still loving it. So much variety of builds and styles. Especially with all the different mods you can download. Have fun!
The orange skulls add to the difficulty of a poi, each biome has different orange skull levels and that would be why you'd want to go to other traders, to get higher difficulty biomes which increases loot. Also, the skill points you choose to invest in help influence the books you find.
yep.. it makes it more difficult but also raises your game and loot stage.. horde night in the wasteland is considerably harder but the loot is much better
A must have when you do higher tier quests are upgraded wooden frame blocks that you can place in doorways to create an instant choke. It saves a lot of ammo especially with a spear build. I did a whole tier 6 quest with only blocks and a fully maxed spear took forever but it's possible just requires a lot of retreating
When you bring up an item in your inventory, do you see the letter just next to the word “use” or “open”…that’s a keyboard shortcut…you can become so much more efficient using this. Select a book and press “A” for example.
You made me pick up the game again, been about a year since iv played, been a long time veteran and tbh i love the new skill change, it makes it seem more balanced, and i highly recommend doing a stealth build, they are realy fun to do, and once you get nvg's you'll feel like sam fisher 😂
worst take ever stealth is basically useless with specific queues in quests that automatically make all zombies Focus on you when entering a room no 1:26:56 matter how your stealth is. and the new skill system literaly just forces you to grind in the older versions you had the option to grind now YOU HAVE to grind what a Veteran you are😂👍
You can repair mid horde, and should. The nail gun repairs so fast that once you're up to steel, there's basically no chance of them out dps'ing your ability to repair. Also, you need to use explosives. Explosives are underutilized by most of the 7dtd streamers, but they're SO good. A single grenade cost compared to what it does is phenomenal. Even without points into the skill. If you get explosives 3 for the gunpowder perk (worth it for just that), a single grenade will clear a cluster of zombies. Time to kill and cost to kill cannot be matched. Also: exploding arrows/xbow bolts > hordes.
So after watching this and many other of your videos I'll say you work pretty damn hard for these videos. You deserve a lot more than you get but like everything it'll just take some time. I can honestly say I speak for everyone when I say thank you for making these so entertaining. Damn storms man, make sure you invest in a nice surge protector that's rated to protect what you have and a generator. I have a super small electric one hooked up to just my pc so if power ever goes out I have 5 min of power to save everything and power down. Keep up the good work man!
My first video of yours! I like the narrative style and carefree attitude too focus on fun. Technical difficulties are a shame, but overall, it's good!
It sucks that this happened but I'm looking forward to the next 100 days in 7 days to die! Im a big turret fan maybe you could automate the entire horde night (just an idea)
Wasn't even on normal settings he was doing way way more damage then he should of been...u shouldn't be killing zombies in one shot during a blood moon with an iron sledgehammer if he was to do it on normal settings instead of making it easier for himself he probably wouldnt have survived that long lol 🤣
You could have avoided dying on day 43 simply by just using your nail gun and some forged steel to repair the blocks during the horde night. It would have prevented them from busting through. Also Keep repair kits handy. So you can repair your weapons on the fly
It was so fun to watch and you leveling up and take on such difficult challenges and plowing thru them loved the content❤️ disappointing that the game rests your progress later on:
the difference between traders is their loot and their location dictates the POIs you take on up to T6 POIs. also if you want to sell things that the trader wont take, you can go to a different trader and sell it to them. its more useful late game than early game
by the way the quests reset the POIs loot which allows you to double loot anything. It takes longer but double loot is worth it sometimes if it's a really good POI
i really like to watch you play, you are funny and this is pretty funny :D but i got to say that your settings of the game are pretty mild so i wouldnt judge the game pretty difficult when you have zombie running turned of, difficulty at nomad or scavenger, loot abundance 200% and block damage at least 150 or even 200 %
man i really need some friends to do this with lol Tried doing this kind of thing on my own and it's so far been the most boring and solitary shit, and i'm only halfway through. Mad respect for you trying to complete all 100 days yourself!
Yup widening the path for zombies to attack your base might have been your biggest blunder for the 42th night. This means zombies have twice the block to attack and you have more ground to protect.
If you ever get a quest at an unlooted POI you think might have good loot. You can loot it, leave, and then start the quest. When the quest starts the chunk is reset which causes all of the loot to respawn. I find this is especially helpful in tool, gun, and book stores.
I think that method is too cheesy, and tbh uses up a lot of time, especially when you start getting higher up on the quest tiers, it could take hours depending on which quest you get
You know, I’m still in the beginning, but whenever he clicks on the books and clicks the use button instead of just selecting the books and pressing A, my efficiency mind goes ballistic, but my cautious mind praises him. There’s been a time or 2 that I accidentally scrap books. Cant blame him tbh
Just watched your video very entertaining I wish you knew or had a hammer or nailgun though 😊would save a lot of time on base building and would make you a more efficient builder
Farm tips you may have already figured out but for anyone else here goes. #1 dig down 1 block and then place your farm plot. The zombies won't destroy it as they can above ground plots. #2 mushrooms can be planted directly on the ground, a wall or a ceiling. They don't need a farm plot and can also be planted underground unlike the rest of the garden. #3 Hold R and there are 2 other shape choices..... well 1 other shape choice the other choice is a newer looking block.
Honestly the difference between day a day 7000 horde and a day 98 horde, as far as I know, is just the total amount of zombies that can spawn throughout the night. So if you can't kill the zombies fast enough to clear the entire horde before morning then there isn't really that much of a difference at all. However, if you really want to challenge yourself you should change the "24 hour cycle" to 2 hours and set the "Daylight Length" setting to 12 hours. With that your horde night will last an entire hour as opposed to the 15 minutes that it does normally. I wish you luck with designing a base that can survive a horde that is just as big but lasts 4x as long.
Just found your channel because of this video, and I loveddd the way you play. I was having so much fun with this playthrough and cannot believe that you just lost your progress. Hope you find some time to do another one of theses videos!!!
The whole fear of holes is justified.. one of my friends dug directly down then a Mutated Zombie just fell into the hole with him.. he died.. i couldn't stop laughing after witnessing it
I started playing this game at age 5 I'm 11 now and your skill really portrays what I was like at age 5. Jokes aside your content is very entertaining.
Every Trader has his or her specialty. Ther is a medic, a farmer, a mechanic, an arms dealer. The dude you were checking in at the beginning is an armor dealer
Some advice that seem to be a game changer for me. Increase your intellect so that you can max out the adventurer perk. Get to choose two rewards per mission
If you decide to do another 7DTD run in the future, I highly recommend the Darkness Falls overhaul mod - crafting system is way better; custom zombies/demons, new tier of ores in wasteland, and - yes - you do get a sword!
yo whenever you need leather pickup the black leather office chairs and I think they give around 8-10 leather every time. They’re super easy to get and if you pick them up everytime you see them you can have hundreds effortlessly
just a little pointer when doing the clear the zombies missions you can loot the building before you start it and when you start the mission it all reset all the loot so you get 2x more in one mission keep up the good work you doing good 👍
hah! fun! haven't watched it all yet, and you probably got better advice elsewhere in the comments, but... if yer gonna use hatches for your horde base why not add a second backup? + you can put some sort of thin wedge (i forget the name) or sheet on the ceiling above to stop em climbing over easily
honestly with so many dogs and ones that love to crawl I find double poles, bars, or even scaffolding ladder makes a good lower block.. if you use the double pole, rotate it to be horizontal
I know this was while ago, but watching this after how long been playing this game was entertaining. I was thinking, how much trouble he'd be in if tried this on Insane like I play it on, haha. As for info, the more points you put into something like a weapon, the more of that book type you'll find. Eventually you'll start finding 3x of same book. Once you max it, you'll stop finding them. Something keep in mind is the RNG when making/finding armor. Check the stats of them and compare to your old gear. Level 5 and 6 can actually have similar stats, sometimes level 5 crafted have better than a level6. Little trick to keep your base from being ripped out from under you, Dig a trench 2-3 blocks down and at least 2 wide, the pathing makes them avoid the trenches unless something pushes them in. Fill the trench with spikes can help get them if they do fall in, or least have a ramp for them to exit the trench or they'll dig. BUT, they'll always path the easiest route to you like how you had set up for them. Also, fun way help your damage out, the portable turrets are very useful. Though you'll have to fill them on ammo regularly, place a block just behind where your going stand, giving room for your maneuvering and place the portable on the block. It'll help make them head shot more. If get the skill points into robotics, you can have 2 active same time, It can really make difference with Drum magazine and other good attachments on them as well as AP ammo. You can get Shotgun ammo upgrades, which case you'd want a block closer so they can get max damage. GL, hope it helps :) ALSO, be ready as June 24th is the Release for normal players for version 1.0, which is going have a plethora of updates to make it much harder and some quality of life updates.
Late to the party... but horde night... health, repair hammer, mega crush and medical on hotbar. =) Repair as you can to stop entry break in. Awesome video as usual.
You could have easily crafted bullets with brass, lead, nitarte, and coal once you unlock workbench. Lead, nitrate and coal could be mined and brass could be get from car parts.
I dont think that quest glitched at 90:00.. I think you just failed to find all the necessary zombies, since when you were doing the loot room (that you only accessed by "cheating the path"), the quest still showed on the screen saying you hadnt cleared the area. Here are some tips for your next playthrough: Have the robotic turret with you at the hatches - even if you're not leveling into the intellect build to improve them. They help a lot even without skill points invested in them. Just place a block beside you and the turret on top (eye level) Use a 4 (or even 8) hatches system: oppositely facing each other, but when they're opened they touch - so it's like double the protection and if one breaks, you still have the second one in their path. If you run 6 or 8, its the same principle, but you place the extra ones on eye level. You'll keep them "opened", of course, and only "close" them on emergencies. It's important to make the hallway 2 or 3 blocks wide for the zombies to have a clear path to you, but you still should funnel them in a 1 block or 1,5 block (use a half block in one wall) corridor to your doors (hatches), it gets easier to deal with them and they wont cause much damage to your walls. And maybe the most important tip: use throwables. Molotovs and specially pipe bombs make a huge difference when dealing with big waves - and I mean on quests too. Just funnel the zombies (like you were doing at doors) and throw them. It will help you save a LOT of ammo. Also, a bit disappointed that you went through this entire playthrough and didnt figure out one of the most important changes made to A21: you can now shoot and hit zombies through the cracks/holes in the doors. Makes such a huge difference.
Syzen, a big hint eith quests. If it's a clear, don't start it right away. Go through, kill zombues and loot then do it. It'll startover and refresh all loot and zombies
people talk about how far technology has come but the whole power outage corrupting and breaking your pc and deleting all your game save data tells me that technology hasn’t come far enough if we haven’t figured out some way to protect our saved data from something as simple as a power outage then we still have alot of work to do my personal advice is to get a surge protector if you have not already and this goes for everyone even if you don’t have a pc a surge protector will protect all of your devices from a unexpected and sudden power surge and my other word of advice is if it’s storming or even just raining and windy if you are unsure about if your power will shut down i would save all of your stuff shut down and unplug your device from the outlet to prevent any possible issues my first ps4 died during a storm do to a power surge and i have also lost a tv to the same thing i don’t have a surge protector and i don’t really have the money to spend on one cause for a decent surge protector it can get a little pricey but saving and unplugging your devices is free only takes a few seconds and is very simple and will do just what a surge protector will do
I know this is like several months late but it might help you in future playthroughs... don't underestimate throwables. Pipe bombs and molotovs can clear a whole group of zombies when they pile up on your killing area.
Come onnn isyzen other shops have different stock, so you wanna check them all every shop cycle really, which is usually three days if I’m not mistaken, it tells you at the top of the shop menu, great 100 day video as always!
I know I'm late, as I'm watching the full 100 days episode Next time you want to try Sledgehammer, I recommend you go FULL on heavy armor. You need to get close and personal with Zombies, so it is good to carry extra protection. This build also works great with fist weapons. Extra fun if you mix it with full stamina foods (stews) and some consumables. Other than that. There is no right or wrong build. The important thing is to have fun, and if it works for you, even better. Personally I go light armor (military), spend most of the day using BAT and bow to save as much ammo as possible, and the light weapons+armor allows me to RUN faster if needed. Also, always try to open loot boxes with lock picks instead of breaking the container. By breaking the lock it reduces the loot and/or quality of what you get from them.
I haven't played since A17 and I'm not planning to again til 1.0, so seeing this at the height of the post A20 overhauls and knowing there are EVEN MORE CHANGES OTW is absolutely *wild*
Repairing in the middle of a horde night is key. If you had some steel on you, you could’ve repaired those blocks and maybe survive night 43. You had the nailing ready. I still think you did great!👍
I was thinking the same! I was watching him get worried over the blocks breaking and wondering why he didn't just repair them. Did he think repairing was turned off during horde night or somethin'?

Yeah always hoped they added unique items to each trader. For a solid reason to travel.
The main reason is that it gives you another chance to get tier 5 and 6 completion rewards
Plus you get more choices when the traders restock.
I think the main reason for the death on day 43 is the extended path and extra fence in your fighting position, it makes zombies group up together and break quickly. More easier horde night base design should narrow the path down outside the position, so that zombies would fall down to the ground and circle back later
also best to raise your base at least 4 off the ground to avoid them being able to hit your floor directly.. personally I go up about 12.. this will make the zombies not enter rage mode when they fall

Dang, that jank at the ending was so sad! Glad you were able to salvage it still! I think another co-op run would be amazing!
Hi, just wanted to let you know, if you chop down tree stumps, it has a chance for honey, which cures infections. I don't know percentages, but ones that spawn within POI's do have a higher chance than ones that spawn within the wild.
I absolutely loved what they did with the skill books. It means that you can now focus your points on making yourself stronger without having to sacrifice points to make better tools, weapons and armor. Sure it can sometimes feel RNG based when trying to find them, but they seemed to balance parts of the game around it and for the most part nailed it. Focusing points on improving your character’s lethality is much better balanced so depending on what difficulty you take it doesn’t feel nearly as grindy as it did. Zombies seem like they hit harder and can cripple you bit easier, but the loot system sort of compliments this. You find better loot sooner without feeling like overkill. And then there are just tons of other little quality of life changes that would take me hours to go through so the only way is to experience it for yourself. This game has become much more accessible for newcomers and adds a fun balanced challenge for veterans. This game has come such a long way with some changes not always being so great and the rest absolutely cementing this game into GOAT status.
PS I hope if there is any change at all in A22 it’s not going to be skillbooks. This part of the game should be finished and stamped because this was a game fixing change in my opinion at least.
Putting a point in skill will increase the chance of getting a book related to that skill so its very worthwhile to put points in advanced engineering and vecile early to accelerate into later game
You've gotten a lot better, only advice I'd have is get more familiar with throwables and or exploding arrows/bolts. It really thins out hordes when their stacked up.
Glad to say this is the video I found your channel through, loved it man
The traders now specialize in different things. You can get a little bit of everything, but for a better selection of medical supplies you want to build up that trader rep with Jen. Joel is armor, Hugh is weapons and ammo, Bob is tools and vehicles, and Rekt is food and farming supplies. If your map has duplicates of a given trader, your rep for that trader transfers over.
FYI Spears are a lot better than they used to be. They have longer range, which is very useful early if your difficulty is turned up, but they don't really come into their own until you get the Penetrator perk leveled up a bit. Penetrator allows your spear thrusts to go through zombies and hit the ones behind them, which is extremely useful for your hatch defense. I still think the knockdown from clubs is very powerful, but if you add a weighted head mod to your spears it helps even out the knockdowns.
As to your hatch defense, add a second hatch in the square behind the first -- you can then have a trap door match up with the other side of the same wall. It just gives you a fallback in case the first door takes too much damage.
Once you have power, make the powered hatches or drawbridges, and you can use that on your zombie walkway wired to a switch inside your base -- then use the switch to open up a section where the zombies will fall through if you need a breather to repair blocks or weapons, reload, etc...

LIAR
I just recently started A21 for the 1st time. I gotta admit I originally hated the changes to magazines and leveling
but after a couple week in. I'm ok with them
I still miss the OLD way, but is just extra steps for the same results. So even though I'm ok with the extended challenge, I can't help they artificially extended early mid game for the sake of adding content.
Other than that, I've been having fun, and I appreciate some of the visual changes
Man 40 mins in and i'm really enjoying you playing this. 7 days has been a favoritre of mine since A14 but havent played it really lately.
Grease monkey and lockpicking will get you a bunch of vehicle books. Hit the Pass n gass POIs, best bet for vehicle books. You can get 2-3 workbench books in trader workbenches, so it's a good thing to do trader runs, especially if you have respawn loot on. Making runs into the wasteland and looting cars and POIs there will net you great tools and parts, police cars will net you good weapons too. I got a level 6 auto shotty on day 5 there on my last playthrough. Current play got a level 3 impact driver, 5 hunting knife, and 6 fire axe by day 5 and 6 in wasteland. Motorcycle by day 5 as well.
Knife/machine gun is my favorite build. Great for running through jobs and POIs FAST. Don't get the machete, the hunting knife is much faster, knocks down, and uses a lot less stamina. Shotgun is great for horde nights. I still can't believe you found a College Jacket on the first day!!! Best jacket in the game for the 10% faster run. that 2.2k run to the trader would have taken A LOT longer if you hadn't found that!
Great video. 7 Days to Die is my favorite game. over 3k hours and still loving it. So much variety of builds and styles. Especially with all the different mods you can download. Have fun!
YES! I loved your 1st 100 7 days to die vid
perfect time for me Bday (Halloween)
love this video man deff subbing cant wait for future vids...
The orange skulls add to the difficulty of a poi, each biome has different orange skull levels and that would be why you'd want to go to other traders, to get higher difficulty biomes which increases loot. Also, the skill points you choose to invest in help influence the books you find.
yep.. it makes it more difficult but also raises your game and loot stage.. horde night in the wasteland is considerably harder but the loot is much better
A must have when you do higher tier quests are upgraded wooden frame blocks that you can place in doorways to create an instant choke. It saves a lot of ammo especially with a spear build. I did a whole tier 6 quest with only blocks and a fully maxed spear took forever but it's possible just requires a lot of retreating
Been watching your 100 days serious on ark and I have just just been so addicted to your content keep up the good work
When you bring up an item in your inventory, do you see the letter just next to the word “use” or “open”…that’s a keyboard shortcut…you can become so much more efficient using this. Select a book and press “A” for example.
21:10 the calander with the girls on u was scanning 😂 i added a mod i can grab that and put it in my base 😊
You made me pick up the game again, been about a year since iv played, been a long time veteran and tbh i love the new skill change, it makes it seem more balanced, and i highly recommend doing a stealth build, they are realy fun to do, and once you get nvg's you'll feel like sam fisher 😂
only annoying thing with stealth is the trigger rooms where they attack regardless of how quiet you are
worst take ever stealth is basically useless with specific queues in quests that automatically make all zombies Focus on you when entering a room no 1:26:56 matter how your stealth is. and the new skill system literaly just forces you to grind in the older versions you had the option to grind now YOU HAVE to grind what a Veteran you are😂👍
@@padischliyou sound mad af my guy only because you wanna cry about the game and not enjoy it doesn’t mean he can’t.
with the main entery way to your base you could also put blade traps on both sides before the turrets to weaken them even further
lmao you just said what i thought and just posted right after i posted it on the vid . thats great good playing though man
You can repair mid horde, and should. The nail gun repairs so fast that once you're up to steel, there's basically no chance of them out dps'ing your ability to repair.
Also, you need to use explosives. Explosives are underutilized by most of the 7dtd streamers, but they're SO good. A single grenade cost compared to what it does is phenomenal. Even without points into the skill.
If you get explosives 3 for the gunpowder perk (worth it for just that), a single grenade will clear a cluster of zombies. Time to kill and cost to kill cannot be matched. Also: exploding arrows/xbow bolts > hordes.
Amazing video, the effort that must have gone into making this, loved every second thank you :)
So after watching this and many other of your videos I'll say you work pretty damn hard for these videos. You deserve a lot more than you get but like everything it'll just take some time. I can honestly say I speak for everyone when I say thank you for making these so entertaining. Damn storms man, make sure you invest in a nice surge protector that's rated to protect what you have and a generator. I have a super small electric one hooked up to just my pc so if power ever goes out I have 5 min of power to save everything and power down. Keep up the good work man!
My first video of yours! I like the narrative style and carefree attitude too focus on fun. Technical difficulties are a shame, but overall, it's good!
It sucks that this happened but I'm looking forward to the next 100 days in 7 days to die! Im a big turret fan maybe you could automate the entire horde night (just an idea)
If he somehow managed, the devs would nerf turrets to uselessness. Just like everything else these hack devs do.
@tefnutofhoney2832 you ready had to spew your rage into some random guy's comment didn't you
He defiantly failed this challenge it's called 7 days to die not 100 Days to live
🤡
And be didn't success at that either
I can agree with that. Cheers!!
Wasn't even on normal settings he was doing way way more damage then he should of been...u shouldn't be killing zombies in one shot during a blood moon with an iron sledgehammer if he was to do it on normal settings instead of making it easier for himself he probably wouldnt have survived that long lol 🤣
🙄
I enjoy your playthroughs a lot so much fun.
I love this video and with good quality and jokes good job
You could have avoided dying on day 43 simply by just using your nail gun and some forged steel to repair the blocks during the horde night. It would have prevented them from busting through. Also Keep repair kits handy. So you can repair your weapons on the fly
I had fun watching this! Great video man, keep up the good work.
Thanks!
It was so fun to watch and you leveling up and take on such difficult challenges and plowing thru them loved the content❤️ disappointing that the game rests your progress later on:
what do u mean rests your progress later on?
the difference between traders is their loot and their location dictates the POIs you take on up to T6 POIs. also if you want to sell things that the trader wont take, you can go to a different trader and sell it to them. its more useful late game than early game
by the way the quests reset the POIs loot which allows you to double loot anything. It takes longer but double loot is worth it sometimes if it's a really good POI
i really like to watch you play, you are funny and this is pretty funny :D but i got to say that your settings of the game are pretty mild so i wouldnt judge the game pretty difficult when you have zombie running turned of, difficulty at nomad or scavenger, loot abundance 200% and block damage at least 150 or even 200 %
man i really need some friends to do this with lol
Tried doing this kind of thing on my own and it's so far been the most boring and solitary shit, and i'm only halfway through. Mad respect for you trying to complete all 100 days yourself!
Yup widening the path for zombies to attack your base might have been your biggest blunder for the 42th night.
This means zombies have twice the block to attack and you have more ground to protect.
Turning up the speed of the zombies from walk to run (at least at night) changes the game.
Let’s goooo❤❤❤ 7 days to die is one of the best if not the best zombie game
Yes i will
Two words: Impact Grenades. Use them, and it will prevent zombies from bunching up and overwhelming you.
Dude...one tip. AP Ammo and Penetrator perk under Perception. When they all pile up in a small space, that M60 would have shredded them all.
Penetrator only applies to rifles. 🤷🏻♂️
2:02:19. "Is this all you can conjure Saruman?"
If you ever get a quest at an unlooted POI you think might have good loot. You can loot it, leave, and then start the quest. When the quest starts the chunk is reset which causes all of the loot to respawn. I find this is especially helpful in tool, gun, and book stores.
I find preclearing really only useful on tier 3+ but absolutely, book store - every time lol.
I think that method is too cheesy, and tbh uses up a lot of time, especially when you start getting higher up on the quest tiers, it could take hours depending on which quest you get
watching him click each book then click the read button.. INSTEAD OF JUST PRESSING ' A ' REEEEEEE
At some point I’d love to see a 100 days where every night is a blood moon (I’ve done it and it was ludicrously fun)
You know, I’m still in the beginning, but whenever he clicks on the books and clicks the use button instead of just selecting the books and pressing A, my efficiency mind goes ballistic, but my cautious mind praises him. There’s been a time or 2 that I accidentally scrap books. Cant blame him tbh
Love the Vids man
Just watched your video very entertaining I wish you knew or had a hammer or nailgun though 😊would save a lot of time on base building and would make you a more efficient builder
Farm tips you may have already figured out but for anyone else here goes. #1 dig down 1 block and then place your farm plot. The zombies won't destroy it as they can above ground plots. #2 mushrooms can be planted directly on the ground, a wall or a ceiling. They don't need a farm plot and can also be planted underground unlike the rest of the garden. #3 Hold R and there are 2 other shape choices..... well 1 other shape choice the other choice is a newer looking block.
Honestly the difference between day a day 7000 horde and a day 98 horde, as far as I know, is just the total amount of zombies that can spawn throughout the night. So if you can't kill the zombies fast enough to clear the entire horde before morning then there isn't really that much of a difference at all. However, if you really want to challenge yourself you should change the "24 hour cycle" to 2 hours and set the "Daylight Length" setting to 12 hours. With that your horde night will last an entire hour as opposed to the 15 minutes that it does normally. I wish you luck with designing a base that can survive a horde that is just as big but lasts 4x as long.
You should play stealthy when going inside buildings, Its more easy to take down zombies.
Just found your channel because of this video, and I loveddd the way you play. I was having so much fun with this playthrough and cannot believe that you just lost your progress. Hope you find some time to do another one of theses videos!!!
The whole fear of holes is justified.. one of my friends dug directly down then a Mutated Zombie just fell into the hole with him..
he died..
i couldn't stop laughing after witnessing it
The bike cracks me up how you mount it then it stands up😂
When you shot at point blank range and missed saying *WhAT??* I cracked up!!! I feel your pain! lol 😝
I started playing this game at age 5 I'm 11 now and your skill really portrays what I was like at age 5. Jokes aside your content is very entertaining.
Every Trader has his or her specialty. Ther is a medic, a farmer, a mechanic, an arms dealer. The dude you were checking in at the beginning is an armor dealer
Some advice that seem to be a game changer for me. Increase your intellect so that you can max out the adventurer perk. Get to choose two rewards per mission
Flying Balls Part got me when you get the motorcycle 😂😂😂
very cool. i love watching how other people play 7d2d. when the game starts to get boring or feeling repetitive, don't forget, there's MODS!!
Watching gamers like you, NeebsGaming and Glock9 always have me in the mood for 7dtd ❤️👍
Woah I got a lot of work to do! Thanks for the fun and informative video!
If you decide to do another 7DTD run in the future, I highly recommend the Darkness Falls overhaul mod - crafting system is way better; custom zombies/demons, new tier of ores in wasteland, and - yes - you do get a sword!
yo whenever you need leather pickup the black leather office chairs and I think they give around 8-10 leather every time. They’re super easy to get and if you pick them up everytime you see them you can have hundreds effortlessly
If you pick the lock, you now get better stuff.
just a little pointer when doing the clear the zombies missions you can loot the building before you start it and when you start the mission it all reset all the loot so you get 2x more in one mission keep up the good work you doing good 👍
hah! fun!
haven't watched it all yet, and you probably got better advice elsewhere in the comments, but...
if yer gonna use hatches for your horde base why not add a second backup?
+ you can put some sort of thin wedge (i forget the name) or sheet on the ceiling above to stop em climbing over easily
honestly with so many dogs and ones that love to crawl I find double poles, bars, or even scaffolding ladder makes a good lower block.. if you use the double pole, rotate it to be horizontal
that’s the luxury of a good game even when you are kitted up and doing really good the game can still throw a curve ball and get hit in the face
I know this was while ago, but watching this after how long been playing this game was entertaining. I was thinking, how much trouble he'd be in if tried this on Insane like I play it on, haha.
As for info, the more points you put into something like a weapon, the more of that book type you'll find. Eventually you'll start finding 3x of same book. Once you max it, you'll stop finding them. Something keep in mind is the RNG when making/finding armor. Check the stats of them and compare to your old gear. Level 5 and 6 can actually have similar stats, sometimes level 5 crafted have better than a level6. Little trick to keep your base from being ripped out from under you, Dig a trench 2-3 blocks down and at least 2 wide, the pathing makes them avoid the trenches unless something pushes them in. Fill the trench with spikes can help get them if they do fall in, or least have a ramp for them to exit the trench or they'll dig. BUT, they'll always path the easiest route to you like how you had set up for them. Also, fun way help your damage out, the portable turrets are very useful. Though you'll have to fill them on ammo regularly, place a block just behind where your going stand, giving room for your maneuvering and place the portable on the block. It'll help make them head shot more. If get the skill points into robotics, you can have 2 active same time, It can really make difference with Drum magazine and other good attachments on them as well as AP ammo. You can get Shotgun ammo upgrades, which case you'd want a block closer so they can get max damage. GL, hope it helps :) ALSO, be ready as June 24th is the Release for normal players for version 1.0, which is going have a plethora of updates to make it much harder and some quality of life updates.
Good luck with the ninja instant head movers :P
I love it! Over and over and over!
a lil tip for doing a quest you can loot the poi first then start the quest and the loot will respawn
Late to the party... but horde night... health, repair hammer, mega crush and medical on hotbar. =) Repair as you can to stop entry break in. Awesome video as usual.
What's next? Grounded ASA btw I recommend waiting till November if you play grounded because that's when it updates
Dude that’s an awesome thumbnail.
You could have easily crafted bullets with brass, lead, nitarte, and coal once you unlock workbench. Lead, nitrate and coal could be mined and brass could be get from car parts.
if you ever do another 100 days on this game I reccommend the Daring Adventurer skill! Once maxxed out it lets you choose 2 rewards from your quests
1:23:28 bear out the window was like" whats goin on over here?" lmfao
I dont think that quest glitched at 90:00.. I think you just failed to find all the necessary zombies, since when you were doing the loot room (that you only accessed by "cheating the path"), the quest still showed on the screen saying you hadnt cleared the area.
Here are some tips for your next playthrough:
Have the robotic turret with you at the hatches - even if you're not leveling into the intellect build to improve them. They help a lot even without skill points invested in them. Just place a block beside you and the turret on top (eye level)
Use a 4 (or even 8) hatches system: oppositely facing each other, but when they're opened they touch - so it's like double the protection and if one breaks, you still have the second one in their path. If you run 6 or 8, its the same principle, but you place the extra ones on eye level. You'll keep them "opened", of course, and only "close" them on emergencies.
It's important to make the hallway 2 or 3 blocks wide for the zombies to have a clear path to you, but you still should funnel them in a 1 block or 1,5 block (use a half block in one wall) corridor to your doors (hatches), it gets easier to deal with them and they wont cause much damage to your walls.
And maybe the most important tip: use throwables. Molotovs and specially pipe bombs make a huge difference when dealing with big waves - and I mean on quests too. Just funnel the zombies (like you were doing at doors) and throw them. It will help you save a LOT of ammo.
Also, a bit disappointed that you went through this entire playthrough and didnt figure out one of the most important changes made to A21: you can now shoot and hit zombies through the cracks/holes in the doors. Makes such a huge difference.
Syzen, a big hint eith quests. If it's a clear, don't start it right away. Go through, kill zombues and loot then do it. It'll startover and refresh all loot and zombies
you can do it on any poi.. even fetch.. not worth it for most pois though.. crackabook and a few others as the exception
people talk about how far technology has come but the whole power outage corrupting and breaking your pc and deleting all your game save data tells me that technology hasn’t come far enough if we haven’t figured out some way to protect our saved data from something as simple as a power outage then we still have alot of work to do my personal advice is to get a surge protector if you have not already and this goes for everyone even if you don’t have a pc a surge protector will protect all of your devices from a unexpected and sudden power surge and my other word of advice is if it’s storming or even just raining and windy if you are unsure about if your power will shut down i would save all of your stuff shut down and unplug your device from the outlet to prevent any possible issues my first ps4 died during a storm do to a power surge and i have also lost a tv to the same thing i don’t have a surge protector and i don’t really have the money to spend on one cause for a decent surge protector it can get a little pricey but saving and unplugging your devices is free only takes a few seconds and is very simple and will do just what a surge protector will do
The halo music is so perfect
I know this is like several months late but it might help you in future playthroughs... don't underestimate throwables. Pipe bombs and molotovs can clear a whole group of zombies when they pile up on your killing area.
Come onnn isyzen other shops have different stock, so you wanna check them all every shop cycle really, which is usually three days if I’m not mistaken, it tells you at the top of the shop menu, great 100 day video as always!
That wildcat reference is hilarious😂😂😂
I know I'm late, as I'm watching the full 100 days episode
Next time you want to try Sledgehammer, I recommend you go FULL on heavy armor. You need to get close and personal with Zombies, so it is good to carry extra protection. This build also works great with fist weapons. Extra fun if you mix it with full stamina foods (stews) and some consumables.
Other than that. There is no right or wrong build. The important thing is to have fun, and if it works for you, even better.
Personally I go light armor (military), spend most of the day using BAT and bow to save as much ammo as possible, and the light weapons+armor allows me to RUN faster if needed.
Also, always try to open loot boxes with lock picks instead of breaking the container. By breaking the lock it reduces the loot and/or quality of what you get from them.
ive played for a long time and never knew that using lockpicks increases loot! Awesome to know
@@tempestindustries9446 is the other way around. Breaking them down decrease the loot and quality
I haven't played since A17 and I'm not planning to again til 1.0, so seeing this at the height of the post A20 overhauls and knowing there are EVEN MORE CHANGES OTW is absolutely *wild*
Repairing in the middle of a horde night is key. If you had some steel on you, you could’ve repaired those blocks and maybe survive night 43. You had the nailing ready. I still think you did great!👍
I was thinking the same! I was watching him get worried over the blocks breaking and wondering why he didn't just repair them. Did he think repairing was turned off during horde night or somethin'?
Please post more. This is one of my favorite games and I love the game play.
