[2023] How fun is the pvp?

8 players per server is what's supported officially.

7DTD is not a PVP centric game. The extent of support for pvp on the developer side went about as far as, when they implemented a friendly fire feature, extending that feature to being able to kill strangers/other players normally.

Nothing about the game is balanced or designed around PVP and likely never will be, as PVP is not a focus of the devs nor a particularly planned feature- It's just that the community made a request to extend friendly fire to be able to kill anyone, and it was a simple enough change that could also benefit PVE on some levels.


Nevertheless, there's a small but seemingly healthy subset of PVP players, and mods and server extensions to flesh out the PVP experience for those interested.

The game is, as Sylen said, built for 8 people; This hasn't really stopped PVP centric servers from upping to 20+ players.

But from what I've seen/heard, most/all of the PVP servers have insane loot and exp gain rate or downright start you with a kit of equipment, presumably to ensure you can defend yourself when attacked, so bear that in mind.

There's PVP in this game? :lunar2019laughingpig: Kidding. I don't think many people play with PVP in 7 Days. But as stated above there are probably some servers that offer it.

Yeah, the game is primarily designed for PvE. Only about 2-3% of the players use PvP mode.
