Frequently Asked Questions
How does 7DTD calculate effective game stage in multiplayer?
The game uses a weighted blend: 50% the highest player's game stage + 50% the group average. This means one high-level player raises the entire group's horde difficulty.
How much do zombie counts scale with players?
Each additional player adds roughly 50% more zombies to the horde (square root scaling). Two players face ~1.4× zombies, four players face 2× zombies.
Should I play multiplayer with friends at very different levels?
Large game stage gaps (80+ points) significantly overscale hordes for lower-level players. Consider having lower-level players grind quests or kills to close the gap before horde night.
