7 Days To Die – Cheats and Console Commands

Here are all the guides, tips, and strategies to enjoy playing 7 Days To Die with cheats and console commands. How to Use the Console Simply press "F1" on your keyboard to open the console window to type in and activate server commands. Keep in mind that entering the console window will not pause the game. If you're in the middle of a field, zombies can still sneak up and smack you. Hitting the "ESC" key, or entering the menu, while playing solo is a wise way to pause the game so you can use the console window in peace. When in the console, type "help" without quotation marks and hit the "Enter" key to view the list of commands. Many commands have subcommands, viewable by typing "help" and pressing "Enter" — again, without quotation marks. Press "ESC" to leave the console and return to the game. Cheats The console window in 7 Days to Die allows you to apply cheats to yourself or other players. You can summon zombies from the ether, give yourself god mode, or fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Getting to friends is easy with a teleport command, and it's something any good server admin would want if there are concerns over troublemakers. For these functions, you'll need to activate Debug Mode. To do so, open up the console and enter "debugmenu" or "dm" for short. Pressing "ESC" will bring up the menu screen showing you a set of new options. Checking the box next to "God Mode" gives you invincibility, flight, and removes collision, allowing you to pass through all barriers. You also have sliders that let you change the day, the time, and alter the speed of the clock (Speed). When Debug Mode is active, you can open a menu to spawn entities like NPCs, zombies, vehicles, and more. Press "F6" on your keyboard to open up the Spawn Entities menu. You can spawn up to 25 entities, from zombies to animals, instantly. The NPC Traders can also be willed into existence in the middle of the road if you so desire. Buffs and Debuffs You can give yourself or others buffs or remove them using the Console Window. After opening the console, type "buff" and hit "Enter" to view the list of available buffs. God mode can be activated with "buff god," granting you immortality. Typing "pegasus" gives you incredible speed. There are dozens of buffs available. To remove buffs, you need to use the "debuff" command. Using god mode as an example, to return to the mortal realm you must enter "debuff god." If you want to give another player a buff, type "buffplayer " followed by the name of the buff and press "Enter." Use "debuffplayer" with the player's name and buff to remove the buff. Item Codes You can create new items out of thin air using console commands. The best method is to open up the console window and activate Creative Mode. To activate Creative Mode, open the console window and type "creativemode" or "cm" and hit "Enter." Once you return to the game, press the "U" key to open the Creative Menu. Use the search function at the top of the menu to seek out the item or items you desire. You can also directly create an item via the console window. To do so, open the window, and type "giveself" followed by the item ID. You can also specify the item's Quality (if applicable), how many items, if you want it in your inventory, and if you want it to spawn with mods. Teleport Commands The Debug options include a Teleport function with boxes to insert values. Check the map and use the cursor to see the coordinates. After typing them in, press the "Teleport" button to instantly move. You can use the Console to teleport anywhere and to any player. Open the Console Window and type "teleport" or its shortcut "tp" followed by X and Y values. You can also include a third value for Z. To teleport to a player, type the teleport command followed by the player's name or Steam ID and hit "Enter." Feel free to scream "BOO!" Console Commands There are around 150 console commands for 7 Days to Die. As mentioned, many of these also have additional options that can be viewed using "help" followed by the command name. The game provides further information on said commands, that way you, as the admin, can enact better control over the server.
