8 Best Base Defenses In 7 Days To Die
Surviving a Blood Moon in 7 Days To Die means building a base with strong defenses, and using the right defenses is critical.
This is especially true in some of the large buildings. There are a handful of locations that are very difficult to clear. This topic will take a look at some of the most difficult places to clear on the Navezgane map.
1 Dishong Tower
A Deadly Desert Maze
- Location: 1660 East 1812 South
- Loot Room Location: In An Apartment On The Top Floor
Dishong Tower is one of the tallest buildings in 7 Days To Die. Before the outbreak, Dishong Tower was a huge complex that contained apartments, offices, stores, and even a nightclub. However, due to the zombie infestation, it's no longer a desirable place to call home.
Clearing this place is easier said than done. Not only is it filled with the undead, but it is also pretty tricky to navigate. It's not uncommon for newer players to get lost inside Dishong Tower while trying to clear it.
2 Higashi Pharmaceutical
A Deadly Skyscraper With Lots Of Secrets
- Location: 529 West 453 South
- Loot Room Location: On The Roof, Behind A Steel Door
Higashi Pharmaceutical had a lot of shady things going on behind its walls just before the outbreak. Here, players will encounter feral zombies caged in tubes for testing, lots of Wights, and a team of undead medical staff.
7 Days To Die: The Best Perks, Ranked
Picking the right perks will not only make playing 7 Days To Die a lot less stressful, but much more rewarding.
This POI is located in the Wasteland on Navezgane. This makes it even more challenging since the Wasteland spawns tougher enemies. The roof of this building is where the largest number of enemies can be found. Because of the way this building was designed, trying to make a quick escape is almost impossible. There are only two options when reaching the top: fight the undead or jump off the building and hope for survival.
3 Minotaur Theater
A Small Yet Deadly Tier 5 POI
- Location: 552 West 1846 North
- Loot Room Location: In The Main Theater Room In The Center Of The Building
This building, although big, is one of the smaller tier 5 POIs in the game. Because of its size when compared to many of the other top-tier locations, it's easy to underestimate just how difficult clearing this place can be. It's located in the snow biome on Navezgane, so the area around the theater is usually crawling with bears and lumberjacks.
Once inside the building, things seem relatively calm. However, once the player reaches the main stage, zombies start dropping in from all areas. Because the building is relatively small, there aren't a lot of places where the player can hide for cover, so it's important to come in well-armed and prepared for a tough fight.
4 Grover High
A High School Filled With The Undead
- Location: 1733 East 1529 South
- Loot Room Location: Right In The Front Entrance. However, The Front Entrance Is Locked
Grover High was a regular school before the outbreak. As things started to go south, survivors tried to stay safe inside the gym. However, this was short-lived as the undead made their way inside and turned all survivors into zombies. The main loot area can be seen from outside as it is located right inside the front door. Unfortunately, the front door is locked, so players will either need to break it down or head around and through the building.
No matter what decision the player makes, the second they step foot inside the loot area, chaos erupts. Dozens of zombies will hop to their feet and do their best to take down the player. Since it's a high school, there are lots of long corridors that can be used as escape routes should things go bad. That said, navigating the halls in a hurry can be tricky, as it is all too easy to take a wrong turn and be greeted by more enemies.
5 Red Mesa Compound
A Longstanding Military Base With A Huge Underground Complex
- Location: 601 West 1929 South
- Loot Room Location: In The Above Ground Tower To The Left Of The Complex
The Red Mesa Compound has been in 7 Days To Die for many years. It's a military outpost that has been completely overrun by the undead. Players will encounter lots of undead soldiers while attempting to make their way through this location.
The majority of this POI is located underground. This makes things more difficult as there are only a couple of ways in and out. If the player gets followed in by a couple of Screamers, then the chance of them making it out in one piece is slim at best. While the main loot room has the largest number of enemies, there are big sections within the facility that have small armies of undead enemies just waiting to pounce.
6 Shotgun Messiah Factory
A Hard Building to Navigate
- Location: 927 West 587 South
- Loot Room Location: On Top Of The Two Connected Pipes That Extend High Above The Roof
This Shotgun Messiah Factory is located in the Wasteland. Since it is a building dedicated to making weapons, it has top-notch security. Unfortunately, during the outbreak, the infection managed to turn all of the security within the building into zombies.
7 Days To Die: Best Base Locations For Navezgane
When it comes to Navezgane in 7 Days to Die, the following locations are ideal places to build a base.
Now, any player who sets foot inside will be greeted by the former employees alongside an army of undead cops and soldiers. There are lots of narrow passageways inside this building. Narrow passageways and hordes of undead enemies are rarely a good combination. Clearing this one can take a couple of days, so it's worth bringing a drone to carry some extra ammo and meds.
7 Navezgane Corrections
A Secure Building With Lots Of Undead Cops On Patrol
- Location: 683 East 1836 North
- Loot Room Location: In The Central Room That Has A Large Antenna Sticking Out Of The Roof
With it being a corrections facility, players can expect to find lots of law enforcement inside. Since this game is all about zombies, every cop is undead. Undead cops spit a toxic vomit toward any player they see. Not only that, but once injured, a cop can explode in a gory mess that can instantly kill a player if they get too close.
The one upside to this POI is the large outdoor area. This gives the player plenty of space to run around, dodging attacks while firing at enemies from a distance. That said, it is still one of the toughest places to clear on Navezgane.
8 7 Days Suites
From A Paradise To A Nightmare
- Location: 1176 East 2206 South
- Loot Room Location: Facing The Front Of The Building, The Main Loot Room Can Be Found On The Second Floor On The Right-Hand Side
7 Days Suites is a hotel complex that would be a pretty nice place to stay if it weren't for the hordes of undead that reside within its walls. This location is very tough because players will need to make their way up to the roof to then head down to the main loot room. Since it's such a large complex, it's easy to get lost once inside. Newer players should consider taking a friend with them, as there is a lot of loot to grab along the way.
The main loot area, just like the other entries on this list, has the highest concentration of zombies. While it is possible to break down the wall from the outside, the zombies in the main loot room will still activate, meaning that no matter how the player approaches this place, they are going to get into a pretty intense battle.
