[@alyonnapv3268]

You should dedicate a locked slot in your inventory for the Nerd Outfit instead of carrying all your mags back to base so you will only be sacrificing one slot instead of many.

[@KushAidMan]

Or keep one in your vehicle

[@Shadow-xc9ip]

Any idea how you make a locked slot?

[@Kevlin0069]

Stealth mechanics used to kind of suck in 7DTD, but with 1.0, they're actually pretty good now. I've been playing a stealth character, with the stealth perks and assassin armor, and I've found that two of the most important things a stealth character can do in 1.0 is never stop sneaking, even if something is attacking you, and ALWAYS carry a stack of stones on your hotbar for distracting zombies. These tactics work even in infested clears, if you're methodical enough. If you get attacked and you're not in immediate danger of being overwhelmed, just keep sneaking and kill them, because as soon as you stop sneaking to try and maneuver with speed, you're likely to get the attention of a whole lot more trouble than you already have. On top of that, even if you wake up zombies in a POI, they usually won't know where you are because of your stealth bonuses (even while you're fighting other zombies as long as you stay crouched), so even if you see the red markers moving around on the compass it doesn't mean they're coming right for you. In this situation, you can use those stones to lure those active zombies into places that give you more advantage, often where they will have their backs turned to you for a big sneaky backstab, or lure them out in the open for you to get sneaky headshots with your bows or pistols. Tossing stones is also GREAT for wandering hordes that you come across, because even though they're active, they won't know where you are, so the entire group will tend to run straight for the stone you threw, making them prime targets for something like an explosive arrow or bolt or molotovs if you're close enough, and when there's a demo zombie in the group, you can just pop their button to do tons of damage to the entire horde while they're dogpiled on that stone you threw. On the other hand, you can just toss a stone to lure that group of zombies away from you while you sneak off some other direction.

[@missy-tk]

I love that stealth is back in a tangible way

[@burntjoint]

as long as there's no freaking ladders in the POI...

[@TheCrocodilhunter]

Have I ever told you how much I love the style of your videos? they are so great to watch!

[@tiny_tunas]

"Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?" Z: **💀** "He must be imitating" Tem I'm dying 😂😂😂😂

[@sophiamarchildon3998]

Gotta honour the classics when they come along.

[@Nexadon]

For some reason, over half of my tier 3s and every tier 4 I have done so far has had awake "wondering" zombies... is this a new feature? Keep up the great work!

[@mechanicer3105]

A tip i have is bring the nerd outfit around with you when you go looting, or at least keep it in your ride. It will save you many slots vs carrying all magazines to base

[@DekuDango]

Hey Tem, I can't confirm this but I believe there are "wandering sleepers". Those zombies in the attic did wake up but they just patrol once you are in range.

[@derrilking83]

Agreed. My theory is that those zombies are triggered when you enter an area, but the high sneak bonuses won’t let them sense you.

[@Blitzcreeper239]

Oh, so they did implement something decently new this update, heard about those eventually being a thing but having those makes POI clearing a little more dynamic, nice

[@tiny_tunas]

I noticed this as well but wasn't 100% sure if that's what it was! Seeing others noticing it too, I bet that's exactly what it is.

[@michaelg.8062]

The production quality of your content is just amazing. Your sense for details is great. Keep it going Tem!

[@alexandriagrimm888]

The... base of the base- the lil off shoots lookin like a star wars at walkers feet. Kinda a cool look tbh, really fulfills the brutalist look you seem ot be going for.

[@kylewarner5142]

You had me boppin my head fr when you were upgrading those blocks to the timing of the beat. 😆

[@riptide6161]

Senor Dragos residence has a hidden weapons bag at the top of the stairs leading to the loot room. When you reach the top of the stairs, go forward 2 - 3 meters, turn left and break down that wall. It also serves as a "zombie closet". After that first wall is gone (revealing the zombie closet), break down the back of the zombie closet to reveal the hidden weapons bag.

[@justaguyjeff2257]

I laughed pretty good this morning watching the opening montage…felt like I was on hold with my dentist office with that music. Nice curveball!

[@monsutanokage9639]

Interesting mix of grim-dark intro logo and a happy building toots melody, aka “there is hell out there, but We are in a happy place” 😂😂😂

[@BigStewGaming1]

Your editing never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@kingofthezeds]

kicking off with some funky tunes, I like it! 😎😎

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I dunno, I was feeling quirky I guess 😂

[@samblaladu]

Sniper rifle with silencer is as quiet as the pistol and does way more damage. My favorite stealth weapon

[@GamingAfter50]

Mine, too.

[@mathewstenman3417]

Not long started playing 7 days after watching your videos, been enjoying the older series while waiting for the next in this series, was so hyped when I got the notification for this!

[@chrischristensen108]

Your montages are always so on point. Loved the one to start the episode. The song was a vibe.

[@mike5177]

Really glad you upload 40 , minute videos. Alot of people do like 21 minutes and it doesn't give me my fix.

[@SoulStormZero]

thx for listing the mods in description, especially the quick stack seems wonderful

[@BizantyjskiBorsuk]

This series is awesome. I don’t comment often but I do need to catch up with the rest of this series’s. The cinematic cuts are on another level 🤩👊

[@GamingAfter50]

Great loot haul today! Love the sneak, you're doing very well with it.

[@BIGxSAM]

And I also wanted to say keep building keep having fun that will keep people coming back for more. I appreciate your videos.

[@FINSTREAM]

That base of yours looks really great and you are a gift and creative to make great bases.

[@reallybadgamer]

Have been waiting for your next video. The hoard night was awesome. This may help a bit for QuickStack. Alt-X twice quickly will transfer your unlocked inventory to storage (for existing stacks in containers). Alternatively, Alt-Z (one to replenish stack twice to pull full stack) will PULL from storage to your inventory. Have to be careful to not use Alt-z when unloading as it will pull from your storage containers to your inventory and then it's a manual unload. I like to leave one of an item in storage to quickly put stuff away. Dude, you are going to be so HOOKED on this mod. :) If you can design your parking to within 7 blocks (I think) you can unload immediately when exiting your vehicle. I am just starting my first 1.0 playthrough and I can't believe how much harder it is than A21. I can go 50 days w/o a death and on day 7 I already have two. lol

[@truthunit]

The beginning of the video is so satisfying

[@syphon583]

Wandering sleepers are definitely a thing. To what extent is not known, but it was confirmed on the forums that they have been implemented and this is just the start of what's to come. Can't wait!

[@brittniginger7684]

I love the beginning music. Sends chills! Love the videos

[@MiriQLMovies]

Base looks so good! Can't wait to see how it performs on horde night

[@darkkiwi69]

I look forward to these vids my nightly watch here in AU

[@petemoss8245]

That base is absolutely cool. My mind meanders at the auto turret capabilities

[@BIGxSAM]

Yooooo that into work TUFFFF🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@gameherogameingchanal7964]

YAAAAA Lets keep the 1.0 train coming!!!!

[@mechanical_chaos]

LOVE this fighting position design. Not sure I've seen anything like it before. It's both simple and secure. Also love that we are finally in a base that isn't cramped again. I ain't looking to play Rust 😂

[@WyoSavage1976]

You inspired me to try the stealth mode and I am loving it. I usually go loud and proud with heavy armor.

[@a.s.l7981]

love it! ❤

[@Str8Shot81Gaming]

Doing the Johnnytown mission with half life towards the end was causing the anxiety levels to hit maximum lol. Great vid!

[@arcobarelds1025]

Hey, I haven't watched this one yet. I'm not here yet in the series, but I've been really enjoying the series! Good vibes, and I am learning a ton with the new update! So, thanks for this cool playthrough!

[@FokiHun]

All the base building gave me an idea - can't you theoritically link a pressure plate to a powered vault door and automatically throw zombies down? Put another plate next to you so you can close it back up sort of deal, saves you the hassle from having to do it manually when things are chaotic

[@Shiriaru612]

Zombies can activate trigger plates, but it will mess with their pathing. The moment the door opens, the zombies will start attacking the base supports.

[@FokiHun]

@@Shiriaru612 In that case just use the plate on the inside so you don't have to fiddle with opening the door manually - saves time and reduces stress during horde night if you need to repair a bit Same idea as now, just less cumbersome

[@Shiriaru612]

@@FokiHun Typically he ends up connecting the door to a switch

[@Domocus]

If you have multiple entrances, this can be an easy way to make an afk base, which takes the fun out of horde night

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

That's a great idea! Just need to get the magazines to unlock the automated doors

[@michaelburnell7102]

I have been kinda watching you for tips and tricks, here and there. Your intro to episode 7 on Vanguard won my sub!

[@michaelburnell7102]

When I get money I will donate.

[@michaelburnell7102]

Promise.

[@julienmonette3553]

Love your vids!!!

[@GarrettMetzler89]

Love the convenient break to reset the quests lol, Hugh needed the break as well ;).

[@DarkSunGameplay]

24:00 Wandering sleepers were sneakily added into 1.0, I've encountered it myself plenty of times. :) When a sleeper spawns, there's a chance it will go into wander mode, but without knowing your current location.

[@villijuusto]

Amazing base!

[@Colonel_Frosty]

Infested clears seem to be more of a flex than for the reward. You burn lots of ammo and first aid for little reward. Seems like a loss to me but idk. I won't do them anymore. Atleast not until they beef up the rewards. It's just not worth it. Not enough buck for my bang... 😂

[@darenvalnys7718]

Your uterus base looks mighty fine ! ^^

[@logiczchance101]

your video editing psychology needs to be lauded

[@Dayshan]

That heavy armour looks interesting 😅. Just found your channel last month & been binging the playlists. I thought about waitin til this series was a supercut but I'm not that patient 🙈

[@syphon583]

I can't believe we've gotten to a point where eminem lyrics are old enough to be used in dad jokes 😆. Keep up the great work, Tem! Loving the series!

[@mikearge23]

19:00 that’s my favorite POI to transform into my base. So much room and it usually has a fence/wall around it already built. Just needs a little TLC

[@leenomedal-lafon5994]

That is one extremely cool base design.

[@Marc_von_Hoffrichter]

Thanks Tem, cheers cobber.

[@codywise549]

I like how the red dot on your pistol is attached to the barrel

[@Mrdevs96]

You had such good loot today

[@jamesyamamoto5155]

your current playstyle is how I always play haha. I always go stealth and parkour for stealth kills. Also as a heads up, the laser sight lowers your steath same as flashlights do. That's why I never use them.

[@Damian125id]

32:35 that was the first time i see the headshot dismemberment on that spitball there. pretty cool.

[@Jeffs40K]

Ive only found 2 Legendary parts so far, I used them on Preacher gloves and Rogue Hood, Next will be on my steel Spear, and then on my Commando Boots and Chest. I like how you added 2 Fighting positions, But I havent had a problem with it , because I can repair it, I have 2 ramps up, they did take out one, Now mine are 1 Block Wide, so I may in crease this for the next, but I will still keep double Ramps I think for security. (This said it was opn the 2nd Horde night and it wasnt a 12+ Block Drop), it will be for next Horde, But plan on Moving to Desert Next. Keep up the videos !

[@lsswappedcessna]

I've done some testing with the machete in a regular survival world with creative menu enabled so I can experiment with builds for a regular run that I want to do once they aren't pushing out 7 GB updates every day, and it's really good in 1.0. I'm running a stun baton build but even with no points in knives, it does a ton of damage. With a power attack and level 6 preacher gloves I can one-hit kill most zombies by aiming for their head. I've been using it as a one-on-one weapon with the stun baton against stronger zombies and crowds where the repulsor mod is most useful. I might have to run an Agility build because of how good the machete is.

[@MatJason-xe6hm]

You should put a sledge turret at the top of your kill place! Good video my dude!

[@ima8500]

Damn that intro was amazing xD

[@Slingblade2040]

Love these videos for builds and that you take chances on new base designs. I tried to do that and man it turned out so bad but that's part of the fun. try out new builds, see if it works and if it becomes a massive failure well that's part of the fun. weird how base designs that fail and have us running around for our lives and trying to survive end up being fun horde nights.

[@davidmay8285]

If you find the Hyde residence the garage has some old fashioned gas and oil signs inside. It is a T3 that has a catwalk connecting the garage and house.

[@wizzardrincewind9458]

The Assassin Outfit is OP. With my

[@TPguard5]

They'll not beat through the melee spot but they'll prefer going 2 blocks left and beat through the solid wall. To fix it, make a gap between the ramp and your base's wall.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Not sure what you're thinking of.. They do prefer to beat through the melee position and there is a gap between the ramp and the wall. A few of them have become snagged on the plate strips that i'm using to attach the ramp so those need to come off though.

[@mrsnevar]

GG boss.

[@thanksfernuthin]

If you do the nerd armor thing just keep it in your inventory. Grab a few books and slap it on from time to time to clear them from inventory.

[@Triad_Orion]

I think the Pistol is criminally underappreciated as a stealth tool because of its near silent operation when suppressed. The crossbow will probably put down ferals or rads more reliably with a single headshot, but as you can see, the followup shots with the pistol make finishing a surviving zombie off significantly easier. Plus, it's not only the quietest firearm when silenced, it generates the least heat. It's an excellent all around weapon and probably the only Tier 1 ranged weapon worth keeping once you start finding higher tier handguns or even the SMG. I often carry a crossbow, a suppressed pistol, and suppressed SMG while stealthing. The SMG is mostly there for the heaviest resistance, but the pistol and crossbow do most of the wetwork.

[@panda93247]

God, the intro is creepy af. I love it.

[@TheVikingProject]

Love the video’s! Maybe you can add water around the base to make sure about the rage and slow them down?

[@KushAidMan]

Horde nights get so much more difficult when moving through biomes i noticed. Feels good imo

[@jurgendieter5238]

Bringing back all books to base sounds like suffering. I just always had the nerd body on. Only switched out for the bartering head once a week.

[@OriginalShroom]

Jawoodle showed a trick for preventing cop spit from getting past the bars in his infinite Zombie Run Horde base the other day. You may want to look at that.

[@Gochen86]

The additional blocks on the bedrock-connection pillars kinda resemble the feet of the AT-AT walkers from Empire Strikes Back. And given that the base is in the snow biome... appropriately thematic if ya ask me. That said, the base as a whole is coming together quite nicely, and I can't wait to see it get its first paint job. And an idea that struck me as I was writing this out... why not add a couple railings to the flat sections of the approach ramp for the zombies? Give them another literal hurdle to clear before they reach the fighting position.

[@thunderbird8661]

Yayy finally

[@russellcharlton7814]

I think the new armour makes multiplayer servers highly competitive in terms of loot distribution.

[@feldamar2]

The music at @21:00 really reminded me of the OG XCOM. It had some TENSE atmospheric music. Also, you NEVER knew when/if the enemy would just WIPE half your team. Yikes

[@katumankaiku9319]

Hey Tem, thank you for the great content, you really set a high bar for all the other creators. You might like the Survivors Katana Mod (when it gets updated to 1.0). The Katana is stronger and has more reach than the machete, so more suitable and enjoyable for the late game

[@metalrockgaming]

walking sleepers wink added in sneaky fun pimps

Early vid yes pleaaaseeee ❤

Now that's an early vid 😁

[@dreamyriver]

"Killer Joe" is really "Killer Jack" from The Shining (is my theory, anyway) - coincidentally, Jack limps in the movie because he injured his ankle falling down the stairs.

[@nickclark6236]

If you're wanting to stack bleed. You can do it with a spear and the serrated blade mod and never get hit yourself because of the reach of the spear.

[@AeroSW]

I hope this gets to you before the horde night. Zombies can climb those ramps you have at the bottom of your base. @Guns, Nerds, and Steel. Also, you should go back to the previous tier traders to pick up their "Trade Route" quests. You have to pick up the trade route quests from the specific trader normally associated with the tiers completion. I found that out when I finished my Tier 3s in my playthrough. You do get rewards from them now after all.

[@the1ucidone]

Covert Cats. I believe all players are overlooking this one buff. It really can make sneaking so much easier and more powerful. I'd recommend if you are going for stealth to carry these with you everywhere.

[@gasad01374]

the armor set that i have personally been running is Nomad Headgear, Enforcer Outfit, Preacher Gloves and Commando Boots. -60% Food/Water Use, +40% Crit Resist, +60% Undead Damage and +20% Run Speed

[@mikeriley2475]

Jawoodles been wondering about roaming sleepers.

[@josephfarley6905]

You are about 80% to a Van Halen horde base. looks good

[@sisbonetta]

I love that you play the game, not speed run. Izprebuilt is great but I like to see someone that loves to play the game

[@johnchambless3389]

Awesome video! Could you put trap spike pit at bottom of fight window for them to fall in? Make it like a razor maze back to steps? Or do they break easy? Oh wells loving your adventure.

[@tydiscloud]

@GunsNerdsandSteel You should check out the new Pole 4 Way block for the fighting position, combined with a catwalk block to stand on. It's the perfect size to melee through and blocks cop spit, as well as being easy to toss throwables through.

[@girall.]

I agree, i’ve been using that setup and it’s really good. my only issue is i don’t know how to make it very strong, i find doubling the block up on the fighting position is worse because then the catwalk can’t be flush and i can’t reach far enough if it isn’t flush, maybe it’s a just a me problem?

[@tydiscloud]

24:00 I got some real Splinter Cell vibes here lol

[@redknight793]

Concrete explosions resistance has dripped to 20% in the last patch. Was 25% at release. Steel is up to 75%

[@runninK]

With a level 3 nerd outfit, I tend to get 23ish out of 20 books for magazines.

[@JustIn-mu3nl]

If I play a sneak build I always use a silenced pistol for sneak kills and D eagle for general, I usually am all guns by day 10-14, provided I have the chem station.

[@davecisneros5285]

Those POI zombies didn't wake up, they are part of the new roaming sleepers AI. Kinda cool huh.

[@craigsewell8692]

Tem, by putting the ramps at the corners you're just giving the zombies a direct line to another weak point of those columns.

[@user-hf2jg8hs6j]

Have you noticed that the completion reward for wasteland book series has changed, it is now find more legendary parts.

[@screaminsilence81]

if u pick full assasins set, the sneak effect will help u lots for a sneaky buiuld

[@nickyriley2917]

The new 4 way pole is excellent for avoing spit plus you can mele threw it and loot zombie bags
