hey guys what's up spartan85 here
welcome to
20 quick tips for the console version of
seven days to die
uh if you've seen my other videos then
you've probably seen some of these tips
i'm trying to throw in some new ones but
i wanted to compile a video kind of with
all of my tips all in one and we're
going to make these super quick we're
going to try to do this under 10 minutes
so i know you guys your guys time is
valuable so i want to show you this
first tip is to use the hatch trick
that's what i call it at least throw
down a hatch on a doorway like this if
you have a doorway in a house throw down
a hatch
uh get your
wooden axe upgrade it you can just use
wood and then iron to upgrade this thing
and now you have a doorway that you can
use melee against the zombies
you can whack them over the head like
that and you can kind of raid this in
peace you can also use it if you're
getting backed in you can put down a
hatch right here in the hallway in the
bathroom you know for hornet or
something like that just a quick easy
thing to do to protect you guys
alright my second tip is to early game
and i like to do this day one is make an
iron reinforced club stop using the
wooden club or whatever you're using and
make an iron reinforced club all it
takes
is you need a 100 iron and you need 20
pieces of the wood you can get iron
pretty quick from hacking at stones and
then scrapping the wrong iron or the
scrap and cans but once you can get 100
iron
you can craft the iron reinforced club
and it's right down here this is it here
compared if you just look at the block
the entity damage is 20.4 which is
really darn good early game if you can
get an iron resource club
make one early day one do that third tip
is when you're sitting at in a house at
night like after day one or day two i
like to call it nerd craft i think some
people call it bolt crafting but bolt
craft
wooden clubs
just you can click here and just click
let's just make let's say 10
and what this is going to do is you're
going to raise your weapon smithing up
and each one's going to get a little bit
a little better 377
378 you're raising your weapon crafting
so do that at night you can also do this
with arrows
and then you can also do this with the
wooden axe the stone axe too
make a whole bunch of stone axes if you
have plant fibers and stone and wood
make a whole bunch that's going to raise
your tool smithing up
you want to do that at night if you're
just sitting there and staring at the
wall nerd craft weapons and axes all
right my next tip and you need
schematics for some of these but day one
you can usually start making cloth armor
cloth leg armor cloth head armor cloth
chest armor you can start making armor i
recommend day one as soon as you get
your hands on some cloth like let's see
the chest armor takes eight pieces of
the cloth you can get that from
literally hacking a couch if you have a
couch in here
pack a couch
and you got some cloth you can make some
cloth leg arm once you get the
schematics i highly recommend making
these leather chest armor and the
leather gloves they're really good for
moving around they give you a little bit
of protection and you're gonna you're
gonna you'll move around you can also
start to make
um iron
scrap iron stuff uh here they are scrap
gloves scrap chest armor start making
those you need the schematic for those
two but these are really good too they
take they take some duct tape i don't
have that on me right now but
these are really good so i highly
recommend keep an eye on your armor and
make it super early if you can too it
will help you with this getting stunned
by the zombies okay my next tip and i
don't have any dogs here but i just want
to show something real quick if you're
in an area with a lot of dogs like the
wasteland or
you know something like that you can
carry barbed wire or barbed wire fence
in your tool belt and this also works
for zombies too if you're running at
night or you're just having trouble with
the zombies there's actually a zombie
over here let's do this real quick
okay we got our attention so if they're
coming at you you can lay down this
barbed wire fence
it's kind of out there and it's gonna
hook see how they're held up like that
you can also put down
this
actually just lost her feet so they're
gonna it's gonna make them walkers
so you have barbed wire
and barbed wire i just want to show you
barbed wire
takes
literally 15 iron to make make one and
then barbed wire fence takes iron and
wood so these are real easy to make
honestly the barbed wire just the one
that this one here works fine as you can
see it turned her into our fog so if you
have trouble with zombies
throw out some barbed wire
works great on dogs too
okay my next tip is to get the forge
down early get it down day one day two
day three is my
my
recommendation you need a 50 stone 50
clay a bellows and a short iron pipe
bellows takes either 20 leather or 20
animal hide and if you have animal hide
you can turn that into leather to make
the bellows and then one short iron pipe
you can usually get from just breaking
down a toilet
or something like that you can get one
pretty good lay it down as fast as you
can okay here's my forge i'm gonna lay
it down just right here um if you go
into it you wanna the first thing you
wanna do is the anvil you wanna get an
anvil crafted and then i would recommend
making
iron arrows
and forged iron i would make iron arrows
and forged iron that's what you really
need forged iron leads to tools and
weapons and iron arrows are just so much
better than stone arrows so that's my
recommendation i will be putting out a
more thorough force tutorial very soon
but get it down okay guys my next tip is
if you come across the forge a workbench
chem station cement mixer or even a
bird's nest you can actually take these
things apart and you can carry them in
your inventory except for the bird's
nest now the forge can be found in some
of these small uh kind of starter houses
i call them you know entry-level houses
how you do it is you want to first hack
them with a pickaxe you can use a steel
pickaxe an iron pickaxe you can even use
your stone axe
so let's hack this a little bit
uh and then we'll switch over to our
stone axe
and we need to take it down pretty low
about probably 15 ish or so because the
wrench doesn't do hardly any damage is
the reason i do this
once you get it low enough switch to the
wrench and you have to take it apart
with the wrench to carry i just put the
forge in my inventory let's go ahead and
go to the workbench now that's in my
inventory the kim station is now
mandatory and same for the cement mixer
although i need to take this down a
little bit
more now that's in my inventory and then
bird's nest once you search them i
already searched this one but yeah get
the feathers and the eggs out and then
you can actually rinse this thing apart
and get more feathers so if you're on
the on the hunt for more feathers and
you actually get cloth on it too you can
rinse them apart
just the fyi workbenches can be found in
some of the gas stations some of the
auto shops
and chem stations can be found in the
popping pills normally and there's a
cement mixer in a cave somewhere but i
don't know exactly where that is okay my
next tip is if you come across a whole
bunch of electrical parts and you can
find these in light fixtures a lot of
these houses have light fixtures like
this one right here
um if you take this one apart you'll
start getting electrical parts and so if
you just want to take these apart let's
see how many i think we're going to get
about five or six from this one so
and and you go inside there's light
fixtures in here if you want to start
taking these apart you're gonna get
electrical parts
if you can have a workbench you have to
have a workbench for this but click on
your electrical parts go to recipes
and you can make ceiling lights porch
lights and street lights now you need
four steel for the street lights you get
the same amount of money for making all
of these so let's just make and you need
forged iron so you gotta have four
desire for this let's make um
let's just make 10 porch lights real
quick
okay let's check our workbench we got
five done so far the others are still
crafting so let's bring those down uh
let's bring down this other one that's
six and if you highlight it all these
are worth 950 coins so
if you can just craft these porch lights
out you can kind of sell them to the
trader i mean sell as many as you can
but that's an easy way to make coin in
this game real easy way to make some
coin is just craft those out okay my
next tip is if you have a wall sieve
like this so you don't have an easy way
to get into it and you don't want to
beat in it
you can actually drop the save
and what you do is you hack
out the block that the safe is in
and sometimes this takes something
like see it's not going to drop right
now so sometimes you got to drop some
blocks around it let's hack out this one
here
there we go sometimes you got to hack
out a couple blocks around it so now we
dropped it and we have a loot bag
and then you can get to your loot
there's some rifle parts in there so
just a quick tip
especially with wood frames around the
around it just hack out the blocks
around it and a lot of times you can get
that safe to drop the one thing to
remember about this is it will not
respawn so if you're all about loot
respawn in like 30 days it will not
respawn just keep that in mind
okay guys my next tip is if you're on
the hunt for mechanical parts where the
heck do you find them i'm in the brother
theater the big theater movie theater uh
you can get them from
these chairs these are a great place to
get them i got one from that one
and one from that one you can also get
them from these filing cabinets too if
you want to rip these filing cabinets
apart
okay just from that i got four
mechanical parts so keep that in mind
the best place in my opinion to get
mechanical parts is gas pumps if you can
find a passing gas or a place that has
gas pumps uh you can get a whole butt
ton
of mechanical parts from there okay my
next tip is what to do early game with
skills in my opinion it is best to go
sexual tyrannosaurus right off the bat
you it replenishes your stamina and
makes you not burn as much stamina
especially when you don't have a mini
bike for the first you know 10 to 15
days
put as many points in the sexual
transforms as you can and you can get
each level by leveling up athletics so
as you can see i got it maxed out the
next best thing in my opinion is to go
into panel pete uh which is right here i
get a level four out of five and you get
that by doing blunt weapons and blunt
weapons goes up by just whacking zombies
with sticks and bats and stuff but pedal
peak you know entity damage plus 45
percent and stamina d degradation is
negative 40
so that's huge you don't lose when
you're getting a battle with a bunch of
zombies that's a big big deal so if you
if you level that up it those two will
get you through the first you know 10 to
20 days of the game
and that and archery put some points in
archery those two are great
uh and speaking of skill points the next
thing that you want to do is also put
some points in unlocking the workbench
and you have to unlock that in this
alpha i know pc you just have to
basically found the schematic but it
costs 15 points and you have to get
construction tools to level 20.
so there's your construction tools so
you do get construction tools by you
know beating down rocks beating down
doors and stuff like that and then you
can unlock the workbench so
other thing you can do is what i showed
you earlier is wrench a workbench apart
and then you have one so you don't worry
about putting points in but if you can't
find a workbench
put some points in the workbench perk so
you can unlock the recipe for it
okay guys my next tip is if you're not
riding around or walking around you come
across these little kind of gravel pits
so what do you want to call them these
are we're going to get coal and nitrate
so if you're after coal and nitrate hack
these apart let's see this one is going
to be nitrate powder
and if you combine nitrate powder and
coal you're going to get gun powder so
if you have for gun powder like making
the blunder bus or something like that
that's where you're gonna get it i just
came across another gravel pit here so i
think this one's gonna be coal so
there's coal here
and then
you know you can take coal and nitrate
powder if you want combine them into gun
powder so it's a two and two you can get
if you use the kim station it's one and
one so it's a little better than the kim
station so just fyi if you're out
running around pack these things apart
for some easy
coal and nitrate powder okay guys my
next tip is if you happen to have the
workbench and you need this for it you
can combine um
gun parts in the workbench to make them
better so and you have you cannot
combine actual guns together you have to
combine the parts so let's say
we have some hunting rifle parts here so
let's combine the hunting rifle receiver
and and i'm pushing down on the right
joystick to do this it quickly adds to
that so level 216 level 492 makes a
level 502 receiver this will also fully
repair it so if you have a part that's
you know half dead
throw it in here with another part and
it'll be fully repaired so you can do
that it's that's what's really nice
about having the workbench early is once
you find these parts throughout the
world bring them back to your base and
just keep combining them keep combining
them and make better and better parts
and then you can make a hunting rifle
like this with a really good level 530
so when you when you have a when you
have this
click on it go to a symbol
you can pull the let's say
let's say you have two stocks you'll
pull this stock out and then combine it
with the stock you found in the world
even in the stocks like a level four
stock it will repair this level 491
stock a little bit so just keep that in
mind
get the workbench combine gun parts you
can also do this with tools
you can combine hammers you can combine
uh pickaxes
you can combine everything to repair it
use that way to repair all your items
and make them better okay guys my next
tip is to keep an eye on your wellness
and keep raising that wellness so if you
go into character you'll see wellness
mine is 115 of 240. so
things you do in the world keep raising
the wellness and the best way to raise
wellness is eating bacon and eggs in my
opinion it gives you one plus one
wellness let's go and eat that so it's
going to raise your wellness and if your
wellness gets full you'll get a point
into your max health and your max
stamina
by doing that so the other one that's
really good is
the golden raw teeth i know it's a
little bit less but if you can make
golden raw tea
and just keep drinking those and eating
bacon and eggs your wellness will go up
and keep doing that there's a perk also
that's really handy called the survivor
it's the very top one basically if you
put points into that
everything you do your all your wellness
will go up so eating bacon and eggs
makes you have let's go through a point
of that i don't think it shows up in the
bacon and eggs but
basically everything you do that you're
trying to raise your wellness with like
bacon and eggs and golden raw tea it's
going to be more now everything you do
is going to make your wellness better so
you want to get your max health and your
max stamina up high and by doing that
you raise your wellness
okay so my next tip guys is
i would recommend making cobblestone
frames now you can make wood frames by
using those but make some cobblestone
frames and you're gonna need cobblestone
rocks to go along with this also so
let's make some cobblestone frames bring
these down their inventory and they just
place down like regular frames
yeah just place them down like this
like that so and then you upgrade these
with cobblestone rocks and what's nice
about these is you can stand on these
and shoot arrows through them if you
like if you watch my last ford night in
the vagabond series you can shoot them
out it's pretty pretty easy so and
they're gonna need cobblestone rocks to
upgrade these so just go
we'll go upgrade this one real quick
and right there it's it's already 1500
points so compared to
let's i have some flags on rocks let's
bring those down real quick
if you lay down
flagstone this is only 500 so now this
is 1500 points really easy to upgrade
doesn't take a lot of resources
and you can stand on top of them and you
can move these too
now next question i'm sure is how do you
get cobblestone rocks that is going to
be clay soil
and you find clay soil by going to the
map and all these brown spots this is
all clay so we'll go there and dig it up
with your shovel and then you need stone
and stone can be found i mean i could
probably turn around and find a stone
somewhere but just find the big boulders
i think there's one way over there but
yeah cobblestone rocks and
uh stone i'm sorry clay soil and stone
make cobblestone rocks there they are
right there uh lump of clay and small
stone so make those and use these these
are great for building horde bases check
out my vagabond series day seven i used
i built
i built a quick pit base out of these so
check that out if you guys want more
details on that and speaking of the
vagabond series um
let's go and jump over to the day seven
horde i'll show you guys that real quick
so
basically i built a really quick pit
base in one day i was challenged by my
community to build
a horde base in one day and i chose to
do a pit base
so
these are rules to make i dug three deep
and about probably
six wide
three by six
um you know kind of a pit
and then i just built these cobblestone
frames
up and i upgraded them
and you just rain down arrows on them
all night so try out a pit base if
you've never tried out a pit base
they're very easy and simple
um and you can do more and more to them
and then put spikes at the bottom let
the zombies fall down into him and you
can also put barbed wire fins or
anything like that down there too and
let him just fall down and rain down
arrows on them all night
it's a great great chord base
okay guys my next tip this is a little
later in game usually not till day seven
or eight you'll be able to make this but
you need forged iron you need 20 pieces
of forged iron and 20 wood to make the
spiked club this thing is
just decimates the zombies so it causes
bleeding damage you knock off the limbs
like crazy but so i highly recommend
making this spiked club
i'm using that currently my pla my
present vagabond series so check it out
if you if you don't know anything about
it but
and and you can you can repair it with
forged iron or you can just make new
ones with forged iron so i hop that's
kind of goes back to the forge laying
down the forge early and getting forged
iron early will allow you to make these
spiked clubs which are just
amazing you can also make the iron
sledgehammer too which are a lot of fun
i will say okay and my last tip guys is
i want to recommend kind of a
recommendation almost try it if you've
never tried a knife build and i mean
like a knife guy build
try it it's actually a lot of fun i did
it in my sheriff series so if you want
to go back and watch that you can but
the hunt it's actually a lot of fun and
you get a lot of decapitations so
hunting knife only takes eight forged
iron it doesn't take a lot and eight
would and then you'll go into your
skills and there's actually a perk
called knife guy and you want to start
throwing that up so it just like pummel
pete it lowers your stamina and it
causes more entity damage and it's
raised by blade weapons so the more
blade weapons you use it the higher it's
going to go if you can find a machete
either by looting or at the trader those
are awesome too
so try out all those you can also go
into the decapitator you can put points
into that
which your blade weapons has to be 20
and it just raises your dismemberment
chance so
i highly recommend trying a knife build
if you haven't yet
and just go for headshots it's a blast
well guys that's it that's 20 quick tips
um hopefully it went by really quick
we'll see but uh if you want more
content i have a lot of tutorials a lot
of how to's and stuff on my channel so
if you want to subscribe and check those
out and i also have a current xbox
series called the vagabond so if you
want to check that out
um i also am playing the forest right
now and i also have a darkness falls
series coming up really quick so anyway
guys thanks for watching love all the
feedback be sure to let me know any more
tips and tricks you guys want to see and
i will see you guys later bye
you
