Horde prep
As is suggested in the game title, every seven days you are faced with a deadly horde of zombies. All of the scavenging and tips mentioned above are important components of setting yourself up for survival, but you’ll still want some specific tips for surviving horde night.
You can design a home with heavy fortifications to battle the horde on your own turf, but horde nights get messy and can create a lot of damage to repair. I recommend making yourself a nice base with defenses for daily threats, but then having a separate “horde house” for surviving the weekly onslaught of zombies during the blood moon. This can be a house or structure meant to fight off the wave of undead on day seven.
The first week’s horde will feel like it comes fast. You likely won’t have the best weapons or resources yet, so you can pick a random house or POI to use to survive until you can build a better structure.
Build as many wooden spikes as you can, and if you can dig holes for spike pits, that will work even better. However, this is a beginner tip for earlier weeks, and you’ll need more advanced strategies as the game progresses and the strength of the horde grows.
