7 Days to Die: Tokyo Drift

Clear the Roads

Doing missions you'll often find yourself following the same routes. Problem is there are abandoned vehicles and strangely durable shopping carts strewn all over the roads. Grab a wrench or impact driver and take some time to clear the debris out of your regular paths.



Wasteland Driving

Driving cross country in the wasteland biome doesn't work out well. If you have to cross country it's often faster on foot. Getting your bike caught on those metal pieces sucks to get out of and the concreate blocks eat away at its durability. Seriously, just take the roads. On a side note, cut down those crappy burnt trees and replant pristine saplings. Sure, it's purely aesthetic, but it might impress Jen. She's hot.



Organize Your Loot

You can label storage crates. Do. Give them useful labels, unlike me. The longer you go the more you'll accumulate, so it will behoove you to separate them more and more specifically. Suggestions: Gear (Weapons, Armor, Mods), Food and Medicine, Crafting, Ammo (eventually you'll have enough to fill a crate, just trust me.)


I'm glad you know which way to go

The quests as I've mentioned have an intended path. Figuring out the path takes observation and a little meta-gaming. You can still break the sequence, but I wouldn't recommended it. To clear quests you gotta hit each encounter point eventually, and the path takes you through them all.

Deterrents 

If there are barricades or spikes, you're meant to avoid going through there.


Indicators 

Usually if there's a flashlight, it's oriented toward the proper way to go. Other times locked doors will be a clue to look for another way around.




Open Windows

Sometimes on quests you'll see an open window. Usually this means you're intended to go out there, but not always. Take a peek. If there's a ledge or a spot you can jump to, you should. Just make sure you don't leave the quest boundary.



You Ever Take It Off Some Sweet Jumps?

Pick up your bike before you enter a mission or dangerous area. That way you don't lose it if you die. You did the sensible thing and turned off the lose all your crap on death option, right?  When you finish an area that ends on some sort of building roof, whip out the bike and ramp off the edge. It'll take some damage (yourself as well perhaps) but it's worth it. 



Within reason of course... unless you maxed out Agility and Parkour.

Max Out Agility and Parkour

Forego damage and toughness for a while for the sake of increased maneuverability. It will serve you well.


Jen's Still Hot

Dream Weaver... I believe you can get me through the night...

Enemy Down? How do you know when a zombie is down for good?  Look for the XP popup in the bottom right. During quests, zombies related to the mission appear as red dots on your compass. If they go down, check the compass to see if they're out. It's rarely a bad idea to double tap... just to be sure. Ankle Biters There are a few enemies that will hurt you and you won't be able to see them immediately because they're gnawing at your shins: Dogs, Snakes, and Spider Zombies. Make it a habit to use the "armadillo defense" and jump away when you get hit. Ideally try to get on top of something, then look around the floor for the sucker. Were you raised in a barn? Shut the doors! When backing up from zombies shut doors in their faces. This gives you a few seconds to heal or reload. After a few seconds they should knock holes in the door you can shoot through. ๐… Don't Stop... Readin'๐…  Even when you max out your skills or learn all the perks, read the magazines...

The Quest for the End

Our phone woes have been remedied by a little box called a OBIhai (reminds me of Obad Hai, Grayhawk's nature deity) which was $50 to allow us phone calls through Google Voice.... for free. So we reconnected the internet, dropped the landline, and are looking into saying sayonara to AT&T entirely with alternate DSL providers. It's what they get for lacking grace. You don't value a customer and stick with them in hard times, you lose them. Something that annoyed me about seeing my adventure maps played on Youtube was the crappy attitude exhibited by some players. They cheated with abandon, complained about the requirement of reading to know where to go or to solve quests, and were generally ungrateful. It's as if being challenged or taking risks offended them. The coherent and thought-out story elements were dismissed as unnecessary dressing. Why do these people play? I really wonder. Is it just the Minecraft aesthetic that appeals to them? To be doing something ...

7 Days to Survive Dying

This game has come a log way since the version I called "Die Every 7 Minutes" Here are some of my tips: 1) Drop Nothing Before starting the game, in the Advanced options, set Drop on Death to Nothing , unless for some reason you like doing corpse runs. Personally my time is too valuable to waste on that sort of thing. What? Miraculously coming back to life is fine, but not losing your stuff if so immersion breaking? Come on, bro. 2) Do Quests Trader Rekt is insufferably douchey, I know, but this is the best way to get better gear. Eventually he'll send you on to the next trader (Jen) and you won't have to deal with his cranky A anymore. Plus she's nice on the eyes. Fetch - Retrieve a bag from a location and return. Clear - Kill all the zombies within a location and return. Fetch/Clear - Both of the above. Infested Clear - Same as above but more zombies and significantly better loot. Turn On Power - Night only for some reason, and only between 22:00 and 1:00. That...
