you do know a lvl1 pipe pistol has less damage than a lvl 3 bow and you can't craft more ammo on the fly without a workbench. Sure its nice, but also draws in zeds for blocks.
Regarding difficulty, you where complaining about it being too easy, so I told you how to make it too hard. Be a clever human and find settings in the middle. You only have yourself to blame with SO MANY OPTIONS. most games dont even let you mess with 1/10th the options for gameplay that 7d2d does, and still you aren't satisfied.
If you got more than 8 hrs of fun out of it, you have already gotten what you paid for. lol.
