7 Days to Die is the go-to choice for many players, mixing base-building and crafting with traditional FPS action, giving the player all the tools they need to survive this zombie apocalypse. Despite the hordes of undead already in the game, some players will inevitably demand more. Here's everything the player needs to know to spawn more zombies in the game and make the end of the world a little harder.

How To Spawn Zombies

7 Days To Die - Spawn Menu

Thankfully, though the game has many excellent mods, they aren't needed to spawn zombies. The first step to spawning zombies is to enter debug mode. To begin this process, press "F1." This opens a console on the screen, allowing the player to type commands into it. Type "dm" (this stands for debug mode) and hit "Enter." Now hit "F1" again, and finally hit "F6" to open the spawn menu.

The player should make sure they are facing the place they would like the zombies to spawn since spawns will appear in the position marked by the player's crosshair. The spawn list includes dozens of different enemies, from Wolves and Bikers to Burnt Ferals and Radiated Zombie Vultures, so the player has plenty of choices to stretch even the best perks to their limits.

Once the player has chosen their desired spawn, they only need to select it from the menu and then press either "Escape" or "F6" to close the menu. Zombies spawned through the debug menu default to facing away from the player. If the player wants the zombie to spawn facing them instead, there's an easy solution: a button marked "Look At You," located in the upper-left corner of the spawn menu. Now the zombie will at least get to look at whatever cool modded weapon the player decides to blast them with.

How To Spawn More

7 Days To Die - Spawn 25

For many players, spawning just one zombie isn't enough. Players who want a zombie horde could spawn them into the game one by one, but doing so is a tedious process. Fortunately, the game comes equipped with an easy solution for generating massive hordes of the walking dead on which to test the game's best weapons. Located in the upper-left corner of the spawn menu, just below the "Look At You Option," is a button marked "Spawn 25." This does exactly what the player would expect, spawning 25 copies of the currently selected creature.

Spawning a horde of zombies in an instant is a fun and easy way to get some target practice in, but it's important to remember to turn off the "Spawn 25" option once it has been activated if the player moves on to other spawns. Since this option doesn't automatically switch off between spawn selections, it's easy for the player to accidentally spawn a gaggle of NPCs or more motorcycles than they could source the gasoline for.

7 Days to Die is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
