How to Level Up HECKIN' Fast! - 7 Days to Die Tips and Tricks

Ty

Hi GNS, back playing 7D2D and back watching this super useful video as a refresher, thank you.

I cant watch all of this, it just makes me depressed that I can’t use most of the exploits/strategies. Console version just doesn’t have most of them 🥲. Good video though, great tips for the PC version.

Works on ps4 version?

I always play with 300%. The game takes too long to get fun otherwise. Harder zombies, bigger hordes, etc. The game just takes too long to progress otherwise, especially when you don't have items that can do some of the workload you want early on because gamestage is still too low for the stuff to spawn.

Admittedly, it's probably why trying insane nightmare runs always end up being extra difficult though...

Use the loot and Xp multipliers. The end game is where most of my lack of knowledge exists and using those two settings helped my end game know how and base knowledge immensely

Any tips on alpha 18 for consoles?

Actually . With all the videos I have seen on games , I think yours is second best and decent from all the others

Fun fact: augers and chainsaws give significantly less xp than manual tools.

An hour ago I lost my character when my game crashed. Me and my friend were kicked out. Luckily his gear and our cars were saved. Also our base. But I lost my 70lvl dude with lvl 6 gear.

I may have just started playing this but i love this, thank you

There was a strat that I found specifically regarding the selling of goods.

I noticed that putting ANY mod on any weapon or outfit increases it's sell value, and it seems to increase it more effectively depending on the grade of the mod. So naturally what I did was collect any bulk armor or weapons at grade 5 or higher, make whatever mods that can be equipped onto them, then with the aforementioned consumables, be able to sell them at nearly 5 to 6k each (and this seems to be the case regardless of the item, I've gotten leather armor at grade 6 to sell as much as grade 6 steel or military gear).

The only problem with this strat is that you'll be hard pressed to find any sewing kits and/or springs since making the mods requires a good heft of those. And maybe scrap plastics as well.

Don't forget about the cheese cake. It has a bartering buff when eaten

Does this work on xbox?

God I wish I looked these up sooner would have saved myself so much time

this channel is insane

Th shear amount of LIKE N SUB gives the reverse effect for me mate, seems far too pushy thanks for the info but aint gonna sub due to pushy nature of it.

In all my days I never considered buying xp lmao and now it just seems SO obvious

If you play 7dtd and your not subbed to GNaS , your not playing it correctly.

Jokes aside , between GNaS and JaWoodle , its your 2 stop shop for 7dtd , both are worth a sub.
Also I like how GNaS is always Business ! no filler - info in the least amount of time possible. I respect that massively.

How much of this changed with A20?

I had no idea about the xp gains on these things or that I had 20k worth of xp waiting in coins in my base

whats the keybind to sell a whole stack quickly

Music name plss i cant find anywhere

Nah just click F1 then type "dm" and "cm" then type "giveselfxp 99999999999999"

Pump and dump no longer work :(, could you confirm perhaps? Items cost 10x more even with all buffs in place

Great vid , helps alot

Is this all still applicable for alpha 20?

Thanks. I was Level 14 before watching this video. I am now Level 109

I guess I dont understand the point of leveling and increasing your game stage faster. If you want to increase the difficulty adjust the difficulty. Oh, but you get better loot? Yeah, but that increases your game stage thus the enemy difficulty. I guess I dont understand. To each his own.

Me having started playing in Alpha 20: What's rebar? xD

Now you get a lot more XP in wasteland biome. I build a bedrock workshop in the wasteland immediately. That way I don't get pestered in the more dangerous area in the beginning.

I hope you update this for alpha twenty!

wow, looking at this older vid, they really id do quite the update on zombie models didn't they.

Your math is wrong:
If you have two seperate bonuses in a game, e.g. barter and xp, you need to calculate them seperately and then multiply them.

If the seperate bonuses for themselves are additive (not multiplicative), you would calculate like that:
.44 Drawn (5%), Sugar Butts (10%), Cigar (10%), Awesome Sauce (20%) and the Better Barter perk (25%) are bonuses to bartering. Add up to a total 70%
Nerdy Glasses (10%) and Learnin' Elixir (20%) to XP. Add up to a total 30%
... and then multiply them:
(1+0.05+0.1+0.1+0.2+0.25)*(1+0.1+0.2) = 1.7*1.3 = 2.21 -> 121 %

An Illustrating example:
You sell goods with a standard price of 100 conins and get 170 coins because of the total barter bonus. If you get 1 XP per coin, that are 170 XP. Because of the 30% xp bonus, you get 170 XP * 1.3 = 221 XP
Thus the total XP you get from having all bonuses, compared to none are 221, compared to 100. Thus a "bonus" of 121%.

If adding the percentages for one bonus type matches the games calculation, also depends on how the programmer chooses to combine the bonus percentages. In our example for the barter bonuses, it could work that way:
Bonuses of 5% and 10% and 10% and 20% and 25% combine that way ...
(1+0.05+0.1+0.1+0.2+0.25)=1.7
to a total 70% bonus.
That's what we would call additive percent bonuses.
(As stated above, the combined benefit from two seperate bonuses is always multiplicative.)

But in many games it works multiplicative:
Bonuses of 5% and 10% and 10% and 20% and 25% combine that way ...
1.05*1.1*1.1*1.2*1.25=1.91
to a total 91% bonus.
That's what we would call multiplicative percent bonuses.
The total bonus in that case would be: 1.05*1.1*1.1*1.2*1.25*1.1*1.2 = 2.52 -> 152%

Some games also use a mix of those two methods of combining percantages. Be it unintentionally, because several programmers work at it, or intentionally, to optimize the balance of the bonuses.

So mathematically, assuming perfect accuracy, the total bonus could be somewhere between 121 and 152%.
However, how the game code rounds, can also have a big influence, on how efficient bonuses are applied. Let's say you sell a lot of 1 coin value items with a barter bonus of 10%, thus a nominal 1.1 coin value, but the game code rounds down to 1 each time, then the bonus is totally lost. Only if you sell more expensive items, it helps. If the gamecode, only rounds after adding up the values of the items, this is not the case.

Yeah I suck at 7 Days to Die. Only thing I've managed to master. Die all the time.

F1 giveselfxp 100000000. 😜

I personally always set my xp multiplier to 150-200% since the base one just makes it feel so boring and slow, the later stages of the zombies make it feel more interesting

Does this work in the ps4 edition (the selling items one I'd what I'm most excited about)

What do you mean by trading set up? Like you need to eat sugar butts candy? have it in your inventory or sell it to get the perks???

still relevant for A20?

Add another one on there for the dig quests. You can milk the spawns by continually not finding the item until it hits a 1 wide ring. The rings for the tier III are enormous, you can get more zombies than a clear run of the same tier.

The math on your xp gains seems a bit off. As the xp bonus adds to a different multiplier than the money gain. It should be 1.8 x 1.2 or 216%, with a little rounding from the game in the form of whole dukes. That's why you saw +110% not the 100% your math suggested.

#6 is my go-to for fast level-ups

watched 2 of your vids and subscribed. your explanations make sense and you put a lot of effort into your videos!

this is a two prart question now part 1 is it true that the devs from 7 days are trying to keep players from taking over a poi and making zombies spawn in the poi even though the landclaim block is down? and 2 when your supply drop or said treasure chest from a treasure map does the loot bonus from the biome it spawns in affect these 2 items for better or worse loot or does the game stage effect that as my last 3 supply crates have yeileded the sniper legendary bundle in back to back to back drops part 3 are u experimcing any game glitches like seeing a wall of marble paint that ist there when u walk towards a door? or the ground u rip out is still showing there even when its not?

The school Jock: Heh. Look at that nerd.

apocalypse happened.

Why is this nerd a badass?!

So do you drink the stuff or does just holding it work?

Sorry this is super super late. But i'm not understanding how you keep your base up on the ground. We tried this, albiet not exactly as many support beams and made of wood. But they either went on the fire, or went under our base and attacked the supports.

A stack of 20k dukes I ain't never had that much 😔
