How to Get Wheels in 7 Days to Die 1.0

 

     Hey survivors! If you’re itching to upgrade your ride in 7 Days to Die 1.0, you’re gonna need wheels—lots of ‘em! Whether you're aiming to cruise around in a Bicycle, Minibike, Motorcycle, 4x4 Truck, or even a Gyrocopter, wheels are your ticket to sweet, speedy freedom. But where do you find these vital components? Let’s dive into the best strategies for scoring wheels in the game.

 

 

Scavenge and Loot

 

     Your first port of call for wheels is to loot and scavenge. Wheels can pop up in gas stations, garages, and some other nifty spots. While you might get lucky and find them lying around or as part of loot piles, they don’t drop like candy. Check out the mechanic shops and wrecked vehicles—these places are gold mines for vehicle parts.

 

    

     The catch? It’s a bit hit or miss, so you might need to explore a bunch of these locations to gather enough wheels. Sometimes, you’ll find wheels in crates or barrels too. Keep an eye out for those sweet loot drops!

 

 

Craft Your Own Wheels

 

     Feeling hands-on? Crafting wheels is a solid strategy, especially if you’re not having much luck with scavenging. Here’s what you need:

 

     - Forged Iron (3 pieces)

     - Scrap Polymers (24 pieces)

     - Oil (2 bottles)

     - Coal (15 pieces)

     - Bottle of Acid (1)

 

    

     Crafting wheels requires you to have a high level in the Grease Monkey Perk—specifically, Level 5. You’ll also need a crafting station to put all these resources together. While some materials like Forged Iron and Scrap Polymers are easier to gather, Oil and Bottle of Acid can be a bit of a challenge. Oil can sometimes be bought from traders or found in industrial zones, while Bottle of Acid is rarer and might require a bit more searching.

 

 

Visit the Traders

 

     Traders are a fantastic source for wheels. They sell wheels quite frequently, so make sure to visit them often. The trader’s inventory resets every three days, so swing by every fourth day to check for wheels. If you’re strapped for cash, you might need to complete more quests or trade valuable items to afford those wheels.

 

 

     Sometimes traders might not have wheels in their stock, but they might sell essential components like Oil or Acid. Keep your eyes peeled and your Duke’s Coins ready!

 

 

Disassemble Vehicles

 

     If you’re lucky enough to have a wrench, you can try dismantling vehicles to get wheels. This method isn’t the most reliable, but if you’re already taking apart cars, you might find wheels in the process. It’s a bit of a gamble, but sometimes you just need that extra wheel or two to complete your vehicle.

 

    

 

Loot Special Locations

 

     Explore POIs (Points of Interest) that are likely to have vehicle parts or mechanical items. Some special locations or lootable containers might have wheels or the components you need to craft them. These locations can vary, so explore thoroughly and check every nook and cranny.

 

     Finding wheels in 7 Days to Die 1.0 isn’t the easiest task, but with a bit of strategy, you’ll be rolling in no time! Whether you’re scavenging, crafting, or trading, each method has its perks. Combine these approaches to maximize your chances of getting those precious wheels. Keep your eyes sharp, your wits about you, and get ready to hit the road!
