I jumped into a friend's game for the first time on day 39 i think. My own game is on day 41. Being the nice guy I, and wanting to gain levels.by crafting my own stuff, I didn't take any of their crafted items save the mini bike the loaned me. On top of that, they play with never running zombies and i play with running on default.

 

They have a base and they have cleared out every town they found I the map already, so I decide to go and hit the random POIs between cities, which seem mostly overlooked. I get to one such cabin at night, and I'm confronted with some zombies.

 

I get hit. Stunned. Hit again bleeding. Take out three before I go down. I respawn make new weapons and back. Their is four more zombies. I get hit. Bleeding out. Take out those four. Die do to blood loss. Respawn and run back to get the bike, and there are more zombies.. i have come to the conclusion that along with the standard POI spawns, there must have been a wandering horde.

 

I chalk this run up to being used to having iron armor, and higher level weapons only to thrust myself into a mid to late game situationnwith start weapons and armor..

My funniest death:

 

Night 35 horde (A14)

standing on wall Shotgun, Magnum & Sniper Rifle

Fall down into the pit, feral jumps in after me, manage to murder it's ass and get out, only to get you know, about 3 more ferals in my face, and even after that, i made it onto a crak-a-book just across from my base and then, i jump down thinking i escaped them..... 3 cops, 4 ferals, 54 zombies & being out of shotgun shells PLUS out of 44 ammo...

 

even after that, i respawned, grabbed my backup gun & ammo (Shotty & Shells) went out and bam, 5 cops puking on me...

The old hordes on this game were ruthless. There was a reason my first few bases had 3m thick walls.

I miss those huge hordes - they were so intense, but so much fun!

[Dead Guy]

Found my first bear early in the second week of a new game. Easily killed him with a sniper rifle I'd gotten from an airdrop. Got mauled by a second bear while I harvesting the dead one. Got killed 2 more times trying to get my backpack.

 

Got my revenge though. No weapons or armor left at my base to use for a third and maybe final try, but then I remembered I had a chainsaw somewhere in my tools storage. Went back in my underwear and killed that bear plus a third with the chainsaw while I collected all my stuff. One of the few times playing I really wished there was a 3rd person viewing option.

[Jimmy the Tulip]

about 3 nights ago, my fiancee and I were playing. We've taken control of an Adult Cinema in the central city and reinforced it with double thick walls, wood spikes and hard iron doors.

 

I came in from outside, closed the door behind me and began upgrade our second line of defence at the counter. Next thing I know there's growling and I'm dead. Apparently a Z-bear had gone into stealth mode, followed me home, smashed through the outside door and walked right up behind me without making a single sound. I got eaten to death before I knew what had hit me.

 

Lesson here; don't turn your back, folks. Not even on a hard iron door...

I was out scouting run with my girlfriend and I nerd poled up about 50 wood boxes to check the terrain. While up there I taunted her, shot bolts and was being a pain. The breaking straw was when I threw the poop at her. She pulled the bottom box and down I went. I had a long walk from home to get back there to my backpack and my minibike.

[Pablodiablo316]

In new play of seed Pablodiablo316 (entered my psn as a joke and kinda liked the map), died day 2 to a wandering horde while trying to clear a house as temp base. Rsn back following day and sorted that issue. few days later going through new poi in town one that looks like a survivor camp find an amoury, spot the mines back of shooting arros get the first one, try for the second....... die! was too close I guess

[FloatedSpark]

So this is long because it is a death I should have avoided but because I was noob at the time I messed up. So because i was a noob and sucked at combat I avoided bears and the city like the plaque. But in about the second or third week of our play through we needed the workbench and thusly mechanical parts. We already looted a nearby town to extinction however there was a city nearby. I was with my brother and told him " we are going to the city get ready"

I quickly explained that cities have the highest spawn rates and toughest zombies. I left with a flashlight, 9 medkits, my spiked club, a bow with some iron arrows, and my pistol with two shots. My brother is a bit slow so I quickly got ahead of him. When I did we were already at the edge of the city and were separated by a horde of zombies.

 

Luckily they didn't spot us but we had to go our own way until we could meet up again. After about six or so cars I had not found one mechanical part but the city chose to smile upon me that day as I found a hotel.

 

Now at the hotels the rooftop is easily accessible and have ac units which, as I read, produced what I was looking for. After dispatching the one zombie guarding the front I quickly climbed to the roof and got the mechanical parts.

 

But I got greedy hoping to find more ac units in an attempt to build a surplus, but then it happened. I spotted a crack a book. There were absolutely no zombies and it was the first one I had found so I informed my brother and smashed through the windows to get in. My brother was enroute as well so i decided to loot half and give him the other half.

 

"Oh no a dog" "Do NOT bring him here" "I'm here how do I get in" Through the window in comes my brother followed by a dog, a burning corpse, and several other zombies. My brother is immediately killed by the dog and I take some damage but manage to put the dog down with my last two pistol rounds.

 

The burning corpse set me ablaze but I manage to stop him as well. The rest were weak body and ended them quickly, saving the door from destruction.

 

My brother respawned and was on his back for the second time. After healing I decided to go to the back and break open the safe.

 

"OMG another dog" " Stop joking it isn't funny" "They're everywhere" "You're just f****** with me now" "This zombie just spit green stuff in my face!" ... Oh no. I hurried to finish the safe. Not gonna lie was planning to loot what I could and be gone before he arrived. However the city chose to smile on me yet again. Inside the safe I found a fully loaded short barrel shotgun with three extra shells.

 

I quickly made room and ran to the front as my brother entered followed by two spider zombies and a third trying to get in. I began firing like a mad man unable to get a clean shot because they were quick. I killed two before running out of ammo. I turned to the third with my spiked club.

 

"They're coming through the window what do we do?" I turned to the window to see a zombie cop, then to the door to see another cop breaking in " READ THE F****** BOOKS" I shouted repeatedly. I dispatched the spider and turned my attention to the cop who sprayed me in the face.

 

I kited them through the aisles to get good shots in with my bow. Shortly after they both blew destroying eight bookcases... it was over. My brother had looted and read the rest of the books and all was quiet. At first I was depressed at losing the bookcases but then it hit me.

This is my first time in a city and I nailed it. Filled with confidence and bravado I lept through the window and sprinted to the edge of the city. I sucked before but I managed to stealthy move past one horde and fight two more head on! I was a bad*** back there.

 

As I reached the edge of the city I watched in horror as my characters head and arms turned to a read mist. Shortly after greeted by the respawn screen. As the shock and confusion subsided I realized I came across my first land mine.

[Th3SaltySancho]

So a very good friend of mine got me 7DTD for Christmas last year. On the first world spawn we had we spawned within eye sight of each other. So naturally I ran towards him and blew up. Both my friend and I laughed until we cried. I didn't learn until later that we spawned near a small military outpost in the burnt forest. Ever sense this game as been my PS4 Dashboard all year. Awesome game.

[Dead Guy]

I was having a hell of a time going after a treasure map treasure a couple days ago. I'd been searching long enough to wear out the steel shovel I'd gone out with plus at least a half dozen stone ones I made as I needed them. I'd dug out a 5 block deep hole that covered the entire red chest area except for 2 small areas on opposite edges. One was water and the other was a section of poi path with a car on it. I thought I was being careful checking the area under the car right up until the ground collapsed and the car flattened me.

[tozqo]

First game, first day, finish the first quest line. Hanging out at traders thinking this is a pretty cool spot. Had played with a friend and they mentioned trading posts are invincible so I think, "it's getting late, I'll stay here and be safe for a few days while I explore around and get a good place to build. A few zombies are stuck in his barb wire and I easily dipatch with my 1st stone axe. I hear over a PA, "Attention survivors, we will be closing soon." I think, " I'm cool with being locked in here until they open." 2200 rolls around, 3 zombies outside the front gate, suddenly I'm out there with them. WTF? I start running, then run out of stamina.

[Cobra22]

A white walker attacked me my first day in a game I killed him as he died I die from not using bandage fast enogh

[ALamAnT42087]

Phew.... remember seeing this forever ago... glad it's still here...

So, any who... onto my tragic story.

It was bright sunny day, my 6th to exact... not too worried about the coming blood moon I heard was rumored too come. Stumbled onto a pistol and have taken a liking too it on day 3, so let the Zeds come... I,m shocked up in a large condo top floor of a city.. coords are close too 0,0.... was also fortunate enough too find all the parts for a mini-bike the day prior. Built, had it gassed up and good too go... and was feeling a little caged in from grinding away hours in that apartment building. So, I venture off into the sunset... regret and worry behind me and a small dirt road ahead of me...

I come too a large building seemingly in the middle of no where, says booty trap. Hmmm.... what could this be.? Park my mini near the sign, in a empty parking lot, venture too the front long behold it's a girls xxx club... anticipation building. My sweaty hands grasp my iron pick axe, I break the door in... I'm instantly greeted by two crawling ugly Zeds, pull the ol pistol out two shots, two dead zombies... then this big fat nasty bastard comes at me... one head shot... he's still coming... I'm nervous pull out my bat, (Susan) smack him in the head that's the end of that... soo, where are these ladies.... hmmm... check the stage, there's a mine sitting mid stage. Weird shoot it, boom... good times right.... continue too make my rounds, find the kitchen. Break that door in, first thing I see is another mine... on the other side of the kitchen. Ehh, eff it I'll deal with it when I get there. Start looting, hit my last cabinet... take two steps back. BOOM..... you've got too be kidding me. Lol smdh that's my story I'm sticking too it.

Drizzt Do'Urden

The Lone Ranger.

 

Edit:

The Boobie Trap

Also, too make matters worse... I make all haste too return, and grab my much needed gear prior too nightfall on day 7, also my lovely mini bike... you know in case I gotta high tail it out of town during the hoard. Grab my last weapon, a smg... have about 200 rounds and feeling confident. Make it back too this dreaded place, find the sign... relize I said it was wrong. Back up too take a quick screen shot, BOOOOOM!!!!! Fml lmao i cant win, this should be an interesting night... consodering I don't have time too make it back there and roughly 2 hours till this blood moon starts.

[Csigrissom]

I was running away from zombies in the dark and fell into a deep cave, but didn’t even break my leg. Got out of that mess and my friend killed me when he collapsed a bunch of dirt on me while digging for a treasure chest.

Done that collapsing soil death to myself god knows how many times lol

 

Nearly had a darwin moment last weekend, screamer called in ferals, while I dealt with those a Zbear spawned I legged it crapping myself as I could not climb my ladder into my base all of a sudden!

 

Then thought "I am not getting hit" climbed up turned around and realised the cop puking noise I heard as I ran from the bear was the cop hitting the bear and now the cop and zbear were having a deathmatch

[Nootcaase]

Day 12 on my latest world. I knew the dogs were coming, so I decided to run to another town in the hopes the dog horde woild spawn while I was traveling.

 

I get to said town with no incident. I stop at a car deal and collect the gas barrels. Travel around a a couple corners and stop at a pass and gas for the gas barrels there.

 

I'm clearing zombies out from in front of the gas station, making sure to spin about to make sure my back is clear. There isna zombie a bit away slowly meandering my way, so I decided to check the bodies of the fallen while I have a moment to breathe. I gather the loot and look up and my zombie friend is at the corner of the building. Which is still a good bit from me as I'm half way across the road in front of the gas pumps. Imthis is one of the smaller stations. His corner is the front side without the garage.

 

I do another spin no other zombies and then go and check a body further away. And whack! I get hit from behind. I turn expecting it.be my friend that.is been watching, Nope! This is a different zombie. My friend was just getting to me, and then the black and brown wi th flashes of sharp teeth.

 

"Where did that dog come from!?" I scream in my head. Of course, until this point the dog, and as I soon found out, the dog's twin didn't make a sound until they were taking chunks out of me.

 

So I go to jump on my bike to get away, but wouldn't you know it that friend is there. I'm ine full on panic mode. I wack the zombie with my club, he drops. I don't check to see if he is done as I now habe the triangle option to get on my mini bike. And I start my escape, feeling limucky that all I ended up with was an infection. That was when I ran into a destroyed car and one of the dogs caught up and applied the bleeding effect.

 

I'm down to 20 hp and dropping. I take a deep breath get a couple blocks away, and decide to stop to apply a bandage. The dogs were still on me. Instead of applying said bandage to gain up and stop the bleeding, I'm on wood frames apparently trying to place them in the dogs faces. Guess what? The game does not allow you to place blocks on the faces of dogs...

 

Every zombie between me and my bag died.

[Un-BeatabIe]

Changing the difficulty from nomade to maniac believing my prebuild house with 1 layer of wooden spikes and two layer of other wood spikes can protect me from day 70 horde. I take the award

[Pablodiablo316]

Had one today we decided (myself and Damselx1) to play on Navezgane for a change, day 1 I find the lone POI porn theatre, go inside see the cooking pot and think "Cool already got a grill and hunting rifle on day1 in a tree stump, now cooking pots", went to pick it up and BOOM! turned out it was sat on a mine or was rigged as one, either way dead shaped, thank the zeds I left my bedroll on the roof of the same POI lol

Was out looking for a good cave to mine in when I came across a good size one. Got off my bike only to be attacked by a bear (made no sound) knocking me down the cave and breaking my leg. I looked up to see the bear coming after me so I turned around to run out another near by opening only to see a 2nd bear. I then figured that I'd pillar up the wall and start shooting the two bears, only to have a 3rd bear fall on me knocking me back into the cave. One can only assume that I became meat stew after that.

You are not nominated but I still like it

[MadArchitect]

The entrance to my base is a 4 block wide ramp to a second floor drawbridge entrance. At the time, it had no side guards, so I gunned my minibike up the ramp and careened off the side of the ramp into the wooden spikes below. The minibike remained unscathed while I bled out to death in a matter of a couple of seconds. Lesson learned.

[Gazz]

Congratulations on an effective defense!

[TendaFoot]

I started a new map yesterday. My starting spawn placed me on the top of a pine tree. I noticed I could move on the branches som so I figured hey maybe I can back up a little bit and catch the lower ones so I won’t hit the ground... didn’t work probably one of the quickest deaths in the game I’ll ever have.
