    Drinking from a lake: Sometimes you can do it, sometimes you can't

    I've found drinking from a lake to be very difficult.  I have to move around a lot to find the 'sweet spot' where the prompt to drink from it will appear.  Just now I spent about 3 minutes trying to drink from my local lake now that I have my fancy water filter helmet but I couldn't get it to...

    PC Padded Armour Is Best In Game

    Of course, gotta look good when you're chopping up zombies and scrounging around in garbage bins.

    PC Padded Armour Is Best In Game

    You might be surprised by how much "stealth" you can pull off in the heaviest armor with no skill investment. Zombies in PoIs don't wake up from noise for the most part, so you can sprint up to a closet and smash it open from maximum melee range (just outside the trigger for the jump scare...

    PC Padded Armour Is Best In Game

    The speed penalty from heavy armor is less punishing than the numbers lead you to believe. In a straight foot race yes padded armor wins but once you have vehicles, how many foot races are you getting caught up in? In your base and in PoIs you probably aren't sprinting much and outside you're on...

    PC Broken bow mechanics

    It's mostly been an early-game concern for me so I feel like it's independent of how many arrow types you have in your inventory? I admit I am slightly second-guessing myself now, though. At any rate I don't have to enter the ammo type menu in these cases, as it automatically loads in an arrow...

    PC Broken bow mechanics

    Of course there's no arrow "loaded" when you pick up a bow. The point however is that 1) There would be no lost time grabbing an arrow with your main hand while grabbing the bow with your off-hand the way you do in literally every other game with bows and 2) The game is inconsistent because you...

    PC Broken bow mechanics

    Did you read the other posts about it? That's not how bows work so it makes no sense and there's no other game that works like that so it's completely unintuitive. Whether or not it's a "bug" is irrelevant. I figured I wouldn't be the only person so bothered by it but I guess I was wrong. I've...

    PC Broken bow mechanics

    In real life, bows aren't "loaded" when you aren't holding them.  But when you ready a bow, you're going to grab an arrow with your other hand. Therefore switching weapons after firing is irrelevant to the process. There's no advantage in 7DtD to running around with the bow with no arrow. And...

    PC Broken bow mechanics

    Thank you theFlu, I can't believe all these bow users are unaware of the bug that arrows pass through zombies.  It is a real thing affecting both arrows and thrown spears.  However, I believe it's only at point-blank range, which makes sense.  Common theory is that the projectile is generated in...

    PC Spears Are Overpowered

    Clubs are better, no contest. Faster, similar damage, and still have knockdown, stagger, and slight AoE. I've done sledge playthroughs and its AoE doesn't make up for its lack of speed against groups of zombies. The club both controls them more efficiently AND kills them faster, while also...

    PC Rain through ceilings

    Yeah, getting wet when I'm inside my house makes me a little crazy. Even though it doesn't affect anything, I see that icon and I'm like "How dare you?"

    PC ChatGPT Feedback and Advice about 7D2D

    In the limited time we have left before AI destroys us all, we might as well enjoy it. Have you guys seen the images people are making with Stable Diffusion? It can create people who look 100% real, and original art that wins contests against real artists. You can't just say "Create...

    PC Thoughts on the look of the grass

    Good points. Also if you didn't have to harvest grass, we wouldn't have the situation where whenever you dig in the ground your shovel keeps harvesting grass and requiring an extra swing to hit dirt.

    PC Is alpha 21 going to make a bookstore the most important find in the game?

    Zombie loot bags are super rare outside of horde night, so I would never think of them as a source of ammo other than to replenish during/after a blood moon. But since every PoI has a loot room I can still count on oodles of ammo everywhere I go.
