How To Use Bedroll 7 Days To Die

Okay, let's talk about the bedroll in 7 Days to Die. It's a simple thing, right? Wrong! It's a source of constant debate, strategic blunders, and existential dread.

Placing that first bedroll is exciting! You've made it through the initial zombie hordes. You're ready to claim your little slice of the apocalypse. Or...are you?

Choosing the Perfect Spot

First off, location is KEY. Ignore that tempting pre-fab house near town. Trust me, it's a zombie magnet. It’s like putting up a flashing neon sign that says "Free Brains Here!"

Instead, I say embrace the wilderness! Find a secluded corner of the map. Maybe a small cave or a cluster of sturdy trees. Just make sure you can defend it (eventually).

I have an unpopular opinion. Riverbeds are underrated bedroll locations. Clear the area of pesky stones. Now you have a natural choke point.

Deployment Tactics

Okay, you've found your spot. Now for the placement of the bedroll. Don't just plop it down in the middle of the room. This is amateur hour.

Tuck it into a corner, preferably facing a wall. Why? It makes you feel safer, okay? Don't judge me.

And for the love of all that is holy, clear the area around the bedroll. No one wants to respawn clipping through a table.

The Claiming Game

So, about that claim block. Some say you need it right next to your bedroll. I say, hogwash! Spread those babies out!

Place your claim block a little ways away. This lets you expand your base later without moving everything. Plus, it confuses zombies. They'll never see it coming!

I may or may not have triggered a horde by placing my claim block too close to a zombie spawn point. Don't be like me.

Bedroll Etiquette (Multiplayer)

Multiplayer changes everything. Suddenly, your carefully chosen bedroll placement becomes a point of contention.

Communicate! Announce your bedroll location. Claim your territory. Otherwise, you'll end up with a dozen bedrolls crammed into a tiny shack. It's not pretty.

Also, don't steal someone's bedroll spot. Seriously, it's just rude. Find your own apocalypse nook.

Advanced Bedroll Strategies

Let's get real fancy for a minute. Have you considered using your bedroll as a decoy?

Place a bedroll in a vulnerable spot. Then, set up a hidden base nearby. Zombies attack the decoy, you laugh maniacally from your secure location.

This might be considered "cheating" by some. But hey, all's fair in love, war, and the zombie apocalypse. Don’t @ me.

The Unspoken Truth

Here's the truth no one wants to admit. Sometimes, you just want to rage quit and delete your bedroll.

Maybe you died for the tenth time in a row. Or maybe a bear ate your entire stash of canned goods. It happens.

But don't give up! Take a deep breath, respawn, and build a better base. Your bedroll is your anchor. Your safe space. Your slightly smelly, fabric-covered refuge.

One final pro tip. Always keep a spare bedroll in your inventory. You never know when you'll need to make a quick escape. Or set up a temporary zombie-luring station… I mean, safe zone.

Now go forth, survivor! Place your bedroll with confidence. And remember, the apocalypse is a little less scary with a comfy place to respawn.
