Firearms Expansion 4 (FE4)

Firearms Expansion 4 (FE4) is a massive content mod that injects over a dozen new, lore-friendly weapons into the 7 Days to Die loot table. From tactical submachine guns to heavy-duty sniper rifles, FE4 bridges the gaps in the vanilla weapon tiers.

The FE4 Arsenal

FE4 doesn't just add 'more guns'; it adds distinct roles. Each weapon features custom sounds, high-quality textures, and unique handling characteristics.

  • Modern Rifles: Adds 5.56mm variants that offer a middle ground between the Pipe Rifle and the M60.
  • Custom Attachments: Specialized scopes and suppressors that are unique to FE4 weapons.
  • Tier Integration: The weapons appear naturally in loot bags and trader inventories based on your Tech Level, ensuring they don't break early-game balance.

Impact on the Combat Meta

With FE4, the 'correct' choice for a horde night isn't always an M60. The new tactical rifles provide better burst-damage for taking out radiated ferals, while the new shotguns offer superior crowd control in tight POI corridors.

Did you know? FE4 weapons can be scrapped for 'Custom Parts' which are used to craft even higher-tier versions of the expansion firearms.
