Early Game HORDE BASE Guide for 7 Days To Die Version 1.0 & Console 

I like these down-to-earth tutorials for the new players. Just did my 7 day hoard last night and it went without a hitch. I am currently taking points into both Pummel Pete and Skull Crusher and deciding on if I like clubs better than sledges.. so far, it is about a tie but thinking I am going to focus on sledges.

Thank you! I'm already on day 42. I didn't build my own base, just started living an existing building. It's too inefficient to defend during horde night so I'm having a look at what a first hoard base should look like. Subbed!

A video with end game HB would be nice Thx for all the time and work you put in youre videos!🤙

This just gave me some really good ideas to add to the horde base I've been running. Thanks!

Another excellent video with good, effective ideas for dealing with the hoard. Thank you!

Thank you so much, I'm on day 28, and I keep forgetting to build a horde base! Wish me luck!

Yeah Man, these are the videos I love to see! Lots of base building vids out there . Lots of different designs. Lots of different techniques to use. I would also like to mention, don't feel ashamed using someone's idea because their idea may give you an idea to build on theirs. I used Pixel Life Gaming, Cautious Pancake and Two-five with a bit of my own ideas to get my current base.(which is on video). Beware of making it look cool in the beginning though. Awesome Vid 25!

In my experience 150% xp is just not remarkably harder and feels a lot more like Alpha 12 or so, a level or 2 more likely a day if you are working hard. Hordes are manageable as rewards tend to scale as well.

I'm a big fan of using a poi for the first few hordes, there are many that work fantastic with little to no work, great guide!

Awesome, concise video on the basic principles. Super well done, thanks!

This is a great video mate, hope you do more. Often the logic behind the AI is more important to understand than just giving people a template to follow.

Welcome to Two5's post-apocalypse community college. Great video :-)

Nice simple guide. Thank you.

TBH you don't need a base for the first couple Hordes - just find a sturdy POI and knock out roof access. You can spend the first few days doing more productive things like Rekt missions for a bike. That said, upgrading blocks is a very nice source of early XP, so there's still some incentive to build a bit.

I have mine 14 blocks above ground with stairs for them to run up. Then a 5 block „tight rope to me. When they fall off there are stairs on both sides of the stairs up to me so they can just run right back up to the main stairs that lead to me. Since I started doing it this way repairs are down about 90%.

An easy one for 1st. Horde is also just a 3x3x3 and then make a a trench 3-4 blocks away all the way around that is 4-5 blocks deep and fill it up with spikes not just 1 row of spikes but really fill it up.

IDK if the horde changed a lot since a21 or I just didn't get enough stuff done by the first horde, but the hordes I am taking on now are so much bigger then before.

On day 7 now got 5rank lever action from a ter 5 poi I spent 3 days there on 30 minute days but boy was it worth it😊

Yes for late game

Bro!.... i had no idea about the XP noob thing. dammit. game on pause to watch your vid. quitting/adjusting now! TY

Question i am new to the game but I been playing the game on warrior and I am in day 90 I have been pretty much going up from a house it’s pretty big knock off the ladder and stay in the attic but I ran into the problem of exploding zombie I am planing to go on top of the big hospital clear out the whole top and plan to be there till they pretty much break the hospital maybe even fight them off there the reason is because I wouldn’t have to spend resortes and I save it and all I have to do is move from location when they damage the place so if they break it down I move to the top of another building and repeat the process but I noticed that now is around the time where I need to build a nice base where I can fight them off something like this video for now I been saving all my resources I got bunch since I am almost at day 100 is there any base u recommend kinda like this to fight them off jw thanks

oh I remember those times at console when only hordebase style was "boxing ring" type of melee base. 😆

Character looks like angry joe!

hello, is "The Long Shock" base still viable? :D

Is it better to do just horde base or horde/crafting base

Cool video and nice base setup. However, it was too fast and you didn’t show enough of the actual building of the base, step by step. I’ll still leave a like for the work you put into the video for sure!

I can’t find the half blocks and stairs on my console. Am I blind????

How do we get half blocks and poles in console edition? I cannot figure it out. Even in creative I don't see them if I type in the search. I'm probably missing something very obvious but I am used to every possibilty just showing up in the crafting menu but it obviously isn't the same with 1.0.

I think you're overestimating how fast new players can get cobblestone, considering questing and other important early-game activities. I came up with a cheaper version of IzPrebuilt's newer design, lowering the fighting position from 5 blocks to 4 and having blocks arranged in a cross shape for support instead of filling it in, saving around 48 blocks. Sure, that means less support, but I added scaffolding ladders to the floor so you can shoot at zombies in destroy area mode, and even throw pipebombs down onto them.

I mean you could easily build a horde base on day 1 with a shovel and an axe

Good video but most of the blocks are not available on ps5

How do you get the scaffolding ladder to turn sideways on Console? I play Xbox and it just goes around in a circle

Dude I can’t even get shit to rotate like stairs are always always always upside down, what the fuck?

Where's the option at to turn on zombie health bar?
