Play in harder biomes

The harder the biome, the better the rewards

There are 5 biomes in total 7 Days To Die. Each biome has its own list of pros and cons. As the player progresses through the game, they will naturally enter more dangerous biomes. Each biome, except the pine forest, gives the player a loot level increase. This boost only applies when the player is within the boundaries of that biome. The difficulty of each biome can be seen below.

• Pine forest – very easy

• Burnt Forest – Easy

• Desert – medium

• Snow – Hard biome

• Wasteland – Very hard

Wasteland provides players with the best loot leveling. However, it is also by far the most difficult area in which to survive. Players who feel confident venturing into the wasteland should be sure to go in well-armed and loaded with meds.

Invest in the right skills

Lucky Looter is great for boosting

There are several perks that can help players find more/better items. However, of the perks that affect the items the player finds, the Lucky Looter is by far the best. While not particularly useful in the early stages of the game, it quickly becomes a must-have skill. Regardless of a player's preferred build type, it's always worth sticking at least a few points into Lucky Looter.

This skill does two things. First, it gives the player a permanent boost to the loot phase. Second, it allows players to loot significantly faster than normal. You can see the benefits of this benefit below:

• Level 1: 5% loot bonus. Loot 10% faster

• Level 2: 10% loot bonus. Loot 20% faster

• Level 3: 15% loot bonus. Loot 40% faster

• Level 4: Loot bonus 20%. Loot 60% faster

• Level 5: Loot bonus 25%. Loot 80% faster

Take On The Tough POI

The most challenging points of interest offer the highest level loot

Much like biomes offer players a temporary increase in loot levels, POIs (Points Of Interest) do the same. For those who don't know, the difficulty of the POI can be seen on the top right of the screen. Each POI is divided into layers. The level can be calculated by the number of skulls in the picture at the top of the screen. 1 skull equals 1 level point. The more skulls, the more difficult it is to clear the place.

After entering any point of interest, the player's loot will change to match the difficulty of the building or area. So simply by being within the confines of a challenging POI, the player will naturally encounter higher quality loot.

Wear The Treasure Hunter's Mod

Stylish And Useful

The Treasure Hunter's Mod is one of the best mods in the game. This does three things for the player:

• +10% XP gain

• +5 Loot Stage

• Treasure radius 1

These three benefits make a powerful combination. But the main thing this list will focus on is directly increasing the player's loot level. While a +5 loot phase may not seem like much, it can be surprisingly beneficial, especially in the early game.. If a player is lucky enough to come across one of these during the first few days of playing, they should definitely wear it. Provided the player is wearing the mod, they will be able to enjoy the above benefits.

Since the rate at which a player levels up is tied to their overall loot level, the XP boost included in this mod is great as it helps level up loot faster over time.

Searching for specific books

Some books increase loot yield

There are plenty of books and magazines that players can find while playing. Each book the player reads gives them a unique and permanent bonus. Whether it's increased damage output for a specific weapon or a buff to armor, there's a book for almost everything. With that in mind, there are plenty of books that help players get more out of their loot. Some of the best books for getting better/more loot can be found below:

• Grand Heist Volume 3: Find 10% more Dukes and Cash in Vaults and ATMs

• Lucky Looter (All Books): Find Extras, Dukes, Ammo, Brass, Food and more

• Wasteland Treasures Volume 2: Harvest coffins for bones, jewels, and previous gems

• Wasteland Treasures (Complete Set): Find more legendary pieces

• Art Of Mining Volume 1: Adds a small chance to mine rare gems from ore

Chew some eye paste

A tasty and useful loot boost

Eye Candy is a snack that can be purchased from merchants and vending machines. It can also sometimes be found inside various loot containers. This tasty treat gives players a 10% boost to their loot bonus. It also adds a flat +5 to their loot phase total. These effects last for 6 minutes and they are perfect if you take them just before opening the loot crates at the end of the points of interest.

Players should try to get their hands on as much Eye Candy as possible, as it significantly affects any loot the player finds. This is especially good for those who like to complete clear missions, as the loot available at the end of these missions is usually quite good.

Always dig up the treasure

Pay attention to the maps

The player's treasure maps will always lead to some pretty rare and valuable loot. Although these maps are quite rare, players should always spend some time reading the map and digging up the treasure. While the loot inside is tied to the player's overall loot level, they will almost always find a healthy mix of weapons, ammo, dukes, and more.

When digging up treasure, players don't have to dig very far to find it. Buried treasure is usually buried no deeper than between 3 and 4 blocks. Also, by default, every 10 blocks the player digs up will decrease the search radius, making it easier to find the container.
