The 7 Days to Die guide hub: every guide in this column in one place, from first-night survival to the deep systems that decide late-game nights.

7 Days to Die is an open-world zombie survival sandbox from The Fun Pimps, in early access since 2013 and at version 1.0 since July

2024. This column is written against V3.4.0 Stable, released 26 October 2026 with the 28 October b9 hotfix, and it is an ongoing-update column: new versions and DLC-scale updates are covered with new or updated guides rather than by rewriting the whole column. The next major version, V4.0, is in development with bandits as its headline feature, and no release date has been announced, so this hub records it only as a future trigger and contains no speculative content about it.

There is no formal boss in 7 Days to Die. Blood moon nights, which arrive every seven days, and special infected such as feral, radiated and building-damaging zombies are the equivalent endgame challenge, and the guides below are organised around the decisions and choke points players actually hit, not around a boss ladder.
