Best Weapons in 7 Days to Die

7 Days to Die is a well-known survival game where you have to shoot hordes of zombies and set up life in an inhospitable post-apocalyptic world. To make the task easier, we will talk about the most useful guns and melee weapons that will definitely help in the walkthrough.

Melee weapon for close combat. The game has many other items for «close contact,» but the club stands out from other tools because it has a chance to deal a critical hit to zombies. When hitting the head, you can instantly destroy the enemy. In addition, the club does not consume much stamina and deals significant damage.

An excellent choice for the early stages of the game. The pump shotgun has good ammo capacity and penetrating power, but low shooting accuracy. Fortunately, this can be fixed by attaching an extended barrel and a muzzle brake. Over time, you will be able to unlock an improved version of the pump shotgun, and ordinary enemies will die with one shot.

Another good weapon for short distances. The standard revolver has enormous penetrating power, but there is a clear downside — only 6 bullets in the magazine. The weapon reloads quite slowly, so make sure not to get surrounded at this moment.

One of the most popular guns among survivors. This rifle is quite easy to craft in the early stages of the game, but to unlock its full potential, a number of modifications are required to increase the magazine, damage, and a good sight. Moreover, thanks to a perk, you can unlock its improved variation, which will be even more powerful.

A submachine gun with high accuracy, rate of fire, and damage. It is perfect for those who do not like to sit in cover and constantly move. Even in the later stages of the game, this gun is very useful, and its magazine can be increased, which significantly compensates for the problem of long reloading.

A wonderful weapon for stealth missions. Unlike bows, the crossbow has increased accuracy and damage, and can also be improved with a scope. This weapon should always be kept in reserve if the situation escalates and you need to take out enemies quietly. In addition, the crossbow can be loaded with explosive bolts, but they are quite rare.

Another shotgun on our list, suitable for the later stages of the game. First, it has high penetrating power and 16 rounds in the magazine. Second, the ammo capacity can be increased to 24, significantly boosting its efficiency. Moreover, a whole range of upgrades is available for the shotgun. For example, you can attach a muzzle brake, an additional grip, and an extended barrel. Plus, you can easily find or craft ammo as you progress.

One of the most effective weapons in the later stages of the game. Finding ammo for the grenade launcher is a big problem, but it's worth it. You can load it with fragmentation or high-explosive grenades. Each type of ammo is suitable for different situations, so experiment to find the optimal use scenario for yourself.

As expected, the sniper rifle is especially good for long distances. With it, you can take down almost any enemy, but you will need to learn the «Dark Eye» perk. Additionally, we recommend installing a number of upgrades: an extended magazine, bipod, and an 8x scope. All this, combined with fast reloading, makes the sniper rifle one of the most useful tools for killing zombies.

High damage, rate of fire, and large ammo capacity — what more do you need against hordes of zombies? An extended magazine for 120 rounds, a bipod, and a scope are perfect for the machine gun. This way, you can take advantageous positions and further increase the weapon's efficiency.
