What to Expect in the Beta
So, what’s new in this experimental version? Tons! The new high-definition armor and clothing system is a game-changer. Imagine seeing your hands in the viewport, complete with details like gender, skin color, and the clothes you’re wearing. The game’s visual immersion just hit a new level.
You’ll find sixteen full sets of unique armor with both male and female variants, divided into four main clothing groups: headgear, bodywear, footwear, and gloves. Each set, except for the primitive one, comes with a bonus if you wear all four pieces. For example, wearing the Lumberjack Armor set doubles your wood harvest and reduces stamina use when using axes. It’s pretty sweet.
The customization doesn’t stop there. Most clothing mods have been reworked, providing various options to enhance your gameplay. Glasses now act as armor mods, each boosting different attributes. The cigar mod boosts your strength and bartering skills, while night vision goggles come with an updated screen effect.
Important Notes
Before you rush off, keep in mind that this experimental version is currently only for PC players via Steam. Console players on PlayStation or Xbox will need to wait for the full release on July 25, 2024. It’s just a month away, so the wait won’t be too long.
Also, if you’re playing the experimental version and decide to switch back to an older save from Alpha 21, you can do so by returning to the "Betas" tab and selecting Alpha 21.2 stable. Just remember that saves from Alpha 21 won’t work on 1.0 saves.
And there you have it! You’re all set to jump into the experimental world of 7 Days to Die Beta 1.0. Get ready to experience the enhanced visuals, new armor sets, and updated mods that make this game more immersive than ever. So, fire up Steam, download the beta, and start surviving! See you in the wasteland, survivors.
