Gamers are always looking for more zombies to kill, and the industry has been generous, offering up a seemingly endless wave of games that let players slake their thirst for undead extermination. Whether the player wants an FPS, survival crafting game, or psychological horror, there's something on the menu to suit every zombie fan's taste.
7 Days To Die: All Console Commands
Here are all the console commands and cheats in 7 Days to Die to make your survival easier.
7 Days to Die is the go-to choice for many players, mixing base-building and crafting with traditional FPS action, giving the player all the tools they need to survive the zombie apocalypse. Despite the hordes of undead already in the game, some players will inevitably demand more. Here's everything the player needs to know to spawn more zombies in the game and make the end of the world a little harder.
Article updated on August 27, 2024, by Benjamin Joe: The release of 7 Days To Die Version 1.0 has given the game a new lease on life. New players on PC and console are opting to download and dive into all that the game has to offer. While there aren't a lot of modding options for console players, there are lots of things that players can add to the game on PC. Not only that, but just like most other PC games, 7 Days To Die allows players to enter console commands to change their gameplay.
Spawning extra zombies is great for fun and for testing. By having a world dedicated to console commands, players can spawn zombies to test out their base designs and traps without running the risk of dying and losing valuable progress.
How To Spawn Zombies
Step:
- Press F1
- Type DM And Hit Enter
- Press F1
- Press F6
Thankfully, though the game has many excellent mods, they aren't needed to spawn zombies. The first step to spawning zombies is to enter debug mode. To begin this process, press "F1." This opens a console on the screen, allowing the player to type commands into it. Type "dm" (this stands for debug mode) and hit "Enter." Now hit "F1" again, and finally hit "F6" to open the spawn menu.
The player should make sure they are facing the place they would like the zombies to spawn since spawns will appear in the position marked by the player's crosshair. The spawn list includes dozens of different enemies, from Wolves and Bikers to Burnt Ferals and Radiated Zombie Vultures, so the player has plenty of choices to stretch even the best perks to their limits.
Once the player has chosen their desired spawn, they only need to select it from the menu and then press either "Escape" or "F6" to close the menu. Zombies spawned through the debug menu default to facing away from the player. If the player wants the zombie to spawn facing them instead, there's an easy solution: a button marked "Look At You," located in the upper-left corner of the spawn menu. Now the zombie will at least get to look at whatever cool modded weapon the player decides to blast them with.
How To Spawn More Zombies
For many players, spawning just one zombie isn't enough. Players who want a zombie horde can spawn them into the game one by one, but doing so is a tedious process. Fortunately, the game comes equipped with an easy solution for generating massive hordes of the walking dead on which to test the game's best weapons. Located in the upper-left corner of the spawn menu, just below the "Look At You Option," is a button marked "Spawn 25." This does exactly what the player would expect, spawning 25 copies of the currently selected creature.
7 Days To Die: Best Ways To Level Up
Players can level up much more efficiently in 7 Days to Die by following a few simple strategies and tips.
Spawning a horde of zombies in an instant is a fun and easy way to get some target practice, but it's important to remember to turn off the "Spawn 25" option once it has been activated if the player moves on to other spawns. Since this option doesn't automatically switch off between spawn selections, it's easy for the player to accidentally spawn a gaggle of NPCs or more motorcycles than they could source the gasoline for.
Useful Command Tips
Being able to spawn 25 enemies at the press of a button is a great feature that can save players a lot of time. That said, there are some other useful things that players can utilize thanks to console commands. First, if the player has activated the debug menu (the prompt that is needed to be able to spawn zombies), then they will automatically have access to some special features on the pause menu.
Provided debug mode is enabled, players can go into the pause menu and toggle effects like god mode, fly mode, invisibility, and more. These are great as they don't require any codes, simply toggle the buttons on and off to get your desired effect. Also, from here, you'll have access to the POI Teleporter. As its name suggests, this feature allows the player to instantly travel to any location on the map.
All you need to do is type in the name of the building or location and select the place you want to visit. This is great for those wanting to explore certain areas while in god mode. While doing all of these things is a lot of fun, it's important to note that you won't be able to unlock achievements while in debug mode or creative mode.
