Zombie Loot Drop Increase

The Zombie Loot Drop Increase mod corrects a common frustration among veteran survivors: the scarcity of loot drops during massive horde nights. It increases the probability of zombies dropping yellow loot bags, turning combat into a rewarding source of progression.

Combat-Oriented Progression

In vanilla 7DTD, looting is primarily done in POIs (Points of Interest). This mod shifts the focus toward active combat. By increasing drop rates, it rewards players who stand their ground against wandering hordes and blood moon sieges.

  • Standard Rate: Increased from ~2% to ~10-15%, making kills feel impactful.
  • Horde Night Rewards: A successful Blood Moon defense now yields enough loot to justify the ammunition expenditure.
  • Loot Quality: While the quantity of bags is increased, the quality still scales with your loot stage, maintaining game balance.

Impact on the Game Economy

This mod makes the early game significantly faster. You will find more ammunition, medicine, and mechanical parts early on. For server owners, this is an excellent way to keep players engaged who enjoy the "ARPG" style of loot-heavy combat.

Expert Insight: Use this mod if you find yourself constantly running out of brass and lead. The increased drop rate provides a steady stream of ammunition components from fallen foes.
