Creator Spotlight: @WaywardEko
WaywardEko is a long-time 7 Days to Die creator known for deep-dive base design, horde testing, and technical breakdowns that focus on understanding why things work — not just copying a build. His work blends function with form, proving horde bases can be both mechanically sound and visually striking. His content regularly examines zombie AI, pathing, rage mechanics, and structural design, especially after major updates like 2.5.
On YouTube, Eko produces long-form, step-by-step base tutorials and clear breakdowns of core game mechanics, helping players learn how to design, upgrade, and adapt their builds across different stages of progression.
Live on Monday and Friday nights, he streams 7 Days to Die, stress-testing designs in real time and teaching tools like the Prefab and World Editors. Friday streams occasionally shift into a more relaxed build-and-chat night — including live cocktail sessions at the bar.
Outside the apocalypse, WaywardEko is also deeply involved in charity streaming, regularly raising funds for children’s hospitals through Extra Life.
If you enjoy smart base design, thoughtful mechanics breakdowns, and live testing when the rules change, this is a channel worth watching.
Anyone can survive the apocalypse. Doing it in style takes planning.
