7 Days to Christmas | A20 Cowboy Challenge Run

Howdy people! I am back with another challenge and because we finally got lever action rifle and early game revolver it's Cowboy challenge!

It's 7 Days to Christmas (well 7 Days to anything - it's just that it lined up perfectly to the Christmas for me)

Me playing this challenge

The base rules are:

You can't use any major exploits, glitches or bugs.

You can only use Wild-West themed weapons. In short:

Lever action rifle

Pipe Rifle

Pipe Pistol

.44 revolver

Pipe shotgun

Double Barel Shotgun

Pump Shotgun

Bone knife

Hunting knife

Club (wooden)

Primitive & wooden bow

Crossbow

Molotov

Dynamite

* You might give yourself some headstart - I gave myself Lever action rifle, revolver, some ammo and food just to make it fun as many of the guns are more of a midgame stage and thus won't be available to you during the first few days.

Maybe I forgot some, but rule of thumb is that anything that is remotely wild-west themed is ok.

To make it more interesting you may opt-in for these rules as well:

Only hat/helmet you can wear is cowboy hat

Only overcoat you can wear is poncho

Only boots you can wear are Cowboy boots

Perma dead (once you die your character & world is gone)**

*If you decide to play with these rules you should give yourself these items on day with with cheat mode.

**This is challenging yet fun to do. It makes you think differently and value completelly diferent stuff.

Goals:

Survive for 7 / 14 / 21 days (I don't think it's fun to survive more than 21 days as it's quite challenging)
Construct something (I am going for christmas-tree base) and then defend it against Day 7 Horde

Anything you would like to do ...

World settings:

I recommend going with Warrior, 60 minutes per day, 18 hours Daylight, Zombies sprinting during horde & night and jogging through day. Although it's perfectly fine to pick whatever settings you like :)

Also higher XP multiplier is reccomended

I think that maybe playing with friends would be even more fun.

Feel free to give me some feedback on the challenge & rules as I am pretty much tired of the base game and I don't like mods that much (although each alpha makes it fresh again) so I'll be making more challenges in future. Also if you decide to stream / make video of this challenge (like I am doing) make sure to post the link here, I'll be more than happy to check your progress :D

Good luck survivors and remember! It's always high noon somewhere around the globe!

 
Interesting concept Tesak,

      Something I may do a run through of, once A20 goes stable. Have you thought of getting into modding and work on projects like this and other themes you have in the works? Could be a small community around the corner just waiting for something like this, to keep the game interesting and fresh.

Food for thought, if this seems popular 😀

Good Luck & Have Fun!

Thanks! Hope you gonna like it if you decide to give it a try ... :D

As I said I don't like mods that much (mainly as it messes with balancing and the art does not fit the game usually) - but I (and couple of my friends) already did some modding to 7DTD in past for our own server in simmilar way to this challenge - just tweaking the game to make it more interesting for certain scenarios. I might give it a try once the game enters beta phase or when I'll get more spare time on my hands. I am also curious what tools Fun Pimps might present for modding community as I remember the statement about "big mod support" some time ago (the support already seems to be one of the best out there for mod creators).

 
Just stopping by to say that I finished the serie on my YouTube channel. The horde was kinda scary and fun at the same time.

I am also working on new challenge that I'll reveal during this week. I'll make sure to make new topic here on forum & share the link once I have atleast the first episode out! :)
