What are your strategy for the 7° day?

[Crepitus]

I like to make my house and base at big places, and I day by day keep improving and cleaning to be perfect base, but on 7° day zombies simple break all sides, traps, and all stuff, at some point I realized I could hide in big places on top without fighting them, and my base would be intact, and then I would survive easily, and the next day I could go on top trader missions without having to farm and repair everything like weapons, making bullets, ciment, steel, iron, and then keep even repairing farming broken by zombies, and while the night 7 it's happening I see tutorials and come here to exchange info with community.

I would like to know how do you pass the day 7?

Speak softly and carry a big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ steel club.
That's how I survive.

[Warlock]

I just take over a POI with a solid-enough foundation, and reinforce it. I put my actual base on the 2nd or 3rd floor, and then make a "rumble room" on the 1st floor. Eliminate all stairs of course.
I kill Z's through the openings of the rumble room, and maintain those few squares during the horde. Every so often one squeezes through, so I knock them down and then scoot up my ladder to the 2nd floor if needed.
If the rumble room gets compromised, I just go up the ladder, turn around, and pipe bomb / machine gun etc. what is now a kill box.
I can fall back to the attic if things get out of hand further.

RIght clicking 7 days clicking manage then uninstall best strategy ever :D

These days I sit on top of a 2-3 story building that has cobblestone/concrete walls, knock down the ladders and stairs, and just wait out the night.
I couldn't be bother building and repairing until I have decent perks and equipment.
Late game I build a zombie dropper on top of high concrete buildings or just run around with an m60 and mega crush (if I can be bothered).
Game settings are insane nightmare 64.

Early game - log off, do IRL stuff for a bit, then log back in, basically skipping the pain.

Late game, Farm them all using traps and turrets.

Since they changed the AI to go for the weakest point in a structure, it's become so easy to cheese them with a melee hatch. I pretty much build the same cube every time with a melee hatch they will always navigate to, and sit there hitting them all night with melee weapon of choice. Just gotta keep up repairs on two blocks, and maybe sometimes toss the odd pipe bomb.

Don't forget to buy the learning elixirs for extra XP, you need 2-3 of them to last all night on 60 minute days. Also, try to aim for cobblestone first horde night, should last for 2 maybe 3 horde nights easily before you need concrete. By the time Demolishers come round you should easily have enough firepower to take them down before they explode, you probably want to be sitting behind steel blocks when they do come though. Again, easily done as by that point I have tons of all mats and are pretty much bored of the playthough anyway.

Build simple melee horde base anywhere... farm zombies, earn XP, profit.

I am not good enough to fight in the open, otherwise I would.

Not into trader quests, they are boring and too linear (traders are still OP).

[Tennguy72]

Create a tower or take over a building where they can't even touch you.

[Dreaming Prince]

i was just gonna kung fu them out in the open on one of those small bridges but instead i accidentally found a (mostly)safe spot lol..

turns out just a few zombies come at first, then they all eventually get stuck under those bridges.

my heroic last stand was totally ruined by sub par AI T.T
had to jump off the bridge in the end

Find a quest POI with a strong foundation and flat roof. Clear it out of enemies and loot, and destroy stairs and ladders. Use building blocks to get to the roof. This will be your perch.

If you have a turret, place it to cover the roof with some AP ammo loaded, but not the ground below. It will exclusively help with vultures.

Do the blood moon. Let enemies swarm below you before you use Molotovs and explosives. Once done, loot all the bags and only then start the quest. The area is now reset after the horde destroyed a large portion of it. You can do the quest, or safely log out to reset the quest status. When you log in the next time, you can safely leave the area.

Set BM zombie count to max if you run the server, to speed up leveling. Using POIs is a mostly safe tactic, even with sprinting zombies. If you happen to clear out all the spawning zombies before 0400 when the BM ends, you can spawn more by logging out and in. Not tested in multiplayer, and it did work in solo pre-v.1.

Just be a doom slayer nothing to organize JUST REAP AND TEAR

As of today, I will no longer be turning on Horde Nights since my killer base, which I spent 10 days building, collapsed in about 10 minutes, as nearly every zombie in the horde went into rage mode for some reason. This is all due to egos clashing between the fun pimps and Jawoodle and others who spend all their time trying to beat the devs, and the devs let their egos run amuck and do things to the zombies to defeat Jawoodle and others.

I get it but still, it fubars the rest of us who want to play a game, but since they give us so many options I will just let them battle it out with each other, and I will just stealth my way to easy infested tier 6 victories.

No one agrees with you more. Zombies that can be smacked down with a club, have the ability to break steel blocks is tough to comprehend. It's part of the crazy, I suppose.

And turning off horde night is a practical choice, at least in my estimation. Other things a player can do, it turn the day length to very short for the horde night, then resume normal day time after the event. Some might say that is a cheese. I don't happen to think so, but to each their own.

When I am on the third week, I will empty out Dishong Tower or similar, tear out the stair ways and fight the horde there. Bonus of no damage to my base.

[Dr. Rockso]

- Wait until 18:00 on Day 7 to start building my horde base.
- Realize at 18:01 I don't have enough time.
- Drink a Mega Crush at 21:59
- Run around mindlessly asking for help from Tom Cruise.

i prep some mega crush and pretend im playing doom or something, bases are kind of irrelevant if zombies literally cant reach you while you blast a couple hundred of those bullets you havent used a minute.

seriously, top priority is just to prevent stamina loss while sprinting, once thats done mega crush will literally do the rest, fortitude is kinda janked the ♥♥♥♥ out like that, defensive fortifications are just not necessary.

... its actually gotten so bad that the horde for horde night usually ends before the night does.

thats not to say i dont have anything prepped though, but i cant really call flat land with some spotlights shining up through bulletproof glass and steel bars a defense.
