At night, things get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/7-days-to-die\/beginners-tips-guide\">a little more difficult<\/a>; not only is your visibility limited, but the forests are rife with zombies &#8211; and in the darkness, they can run! This definitely makes it harder to stay alive, and harder to get things done. Here&#8217;s <strong>what to do during the night in 7 Days to Die<\/strong> to make the most of your time in the dark, even while the zombies are on your tail.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1hld61e295\">What To Do During The Night<\/h2>\n<p>Surviving the night in 7 Days to Die requires some strategy, and crafting certain items can help you out substantially. Because the nighttime is more challenging to navigate than the day, you&#8217;ll need some items to help you get around.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1hld61e296\">Use A Light Source<\/h3>\n<p>There are <strong>multiple light sources<\/strong> in 7 Days to Die that will help you see in the night, allowing you to more efficiently get things done. You can use either a<strong> Torch<\/strong> or a <strong>Flashlight <\/strong>to help you here. Making sure you always have at least one of these items on hand can help you make sure you&#8217;re never caught out in the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Another workaround for the darkness impeding your vision is simply to<strong> turn up your brightness<\/strong>. This makes it a lot easier to see at night, but if you&#8217;re looking for an &#8220;immersive&#8221; survival experience, you might want to avoid this tip.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/UMpueuFh1ddzi3h6VAKiWjwp4aMtbRqjxnoeGtvumVs\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82NTUzN2QyZTAwOWU3LTdEYXlzX2ExOV9pbnRlcmlvcl8wMWEucG5n\" alt=\"7 days to die night\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Nighttime is much more difficult to navigate in 7 Days to Die.

It&#8217;s best to stay in fenced-in areas and keep to yourself during the night.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1hld61e298\">Organize Your Camp<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Nighttime is a good opportunity to organize your camp and items<\/strong>, since you shouldn&#8217;t be going out and trying to kill zombies. You can spend the evening setting things up, so you&#8217;ll be ready when the sun rises to become a killing machine and gather those resources you&#8217;ve been waiting all night for.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1hld61e299\">Mine Underground<\/h3>\n<p>While venturing out into the world after dark isn&#8217;t a good idea, you&#8217;re safe from hostiles underground. <strong>The nighttime might be a good idea to get started on a mine<\/strong>, giving you access to resources that you can use the next day and even onwards. You can start the mine beneath your base to keep yourself safe and ensure you&#8217;re near everything you might need.<\/p>\n<p>While nighttime can be difficult to navigate in 7 Days to Die, we hope these tips and tricks will help you survive the night and make it through another day in this tough survival game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents What To Do During The Night Use A Light Source Avoid Looting Organize Your Camp Mine Underground 7 Days to Die, like&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12834,"featured_media":60107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-7-days-to-die","genre-horror","content_type-guide-tutorial"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
