Dead Hot Summer V3.0 Update Release Notes
The apocalypse just got hotter. Amid the chaos of the Dead Hot Summer, we’re happy to deliver this ambitious systemic update. Built around a core philosophy of player agency, V3.0 gives survivors more freedom than ever to shape the apocalypse their way.
Version 3.0 introduces 150 sandbox customization options, giving players greater control over their survival experience. Survivors can fine-tune a wide range of settings to emphasize the parts of the game they enjoy most, or reduce and even disable systems they prefer to avoid, with the goal of letting players craft the survival experience they want. Player-made presets can also be shared with others, and we’ve created a selection of special preset modes of our own for players to experience.
Moment-to-moment survival is expanded through the introduction of Item Magnitude, a new system that reshapes how weapons and gear scale, alongside an optional Repair and Degradation settings that ensures every battle leaves a lasting impact. Together, these systems make loot more varied, meaningful, and rewarding to pursue, adding greater depth to progression and itemization.
The world itself has evolved. A full overhaul of POI signage powered by the new Sign-Tech system brings hundreds of new environmental signs to towns, compounds, businesses, and ruins, enhancing atmosphere, readability, and immersion across the wasteland.
Alongside these updates, Version 3.0 delivers a redesigned main menu, over 60 new POIs, and a customizable crosshair system. A new cosmetic outfit will also be available alongside the V3.0 Stable release. 
A new scorched season of survival awaits. Read on to learn more:
Take Command of the Sandbox 

•
A New Era of Control arrives. The V3.0 “Dead Hot Summer” update transforms the game into the ultimate survival simulator with 150 sandbox customization options. Whether reliving the tension of classic play styles with no magazines, turning off zombie digging, diving into a brand-new official preset like Undead Matinee, or forging entirely custom worlds through player-made presets, the power to define survival is now fully in your hands!

•
Your Rules. Your World. Your Survival Story. V3.0 introduces full sandbox preset creation and sharing, allowing players to build personalized survival experiences unlike anything before. Name your creations, fine-tune every setting, and unleash limitless gameplay permutations designed entirely around your vision of the apocalypse. 

•
Along with the Classic Difficulty Presets, V3.0 comes with these brand-new Official Presets, including:

•
Undead Matinee – A melee-focused vintage movie-inspired mode with slower zombies, swarming numbers & scarce ammo. Includes the new headshot finisher setting.

•
Madmole’s Mayhem – Fewer supplies, harsher penalties, including the new item loss and item durability loss on death, along with constant pressure. Madmole… It smells good!

•
Almost Creative Mode – The apocalypse, minus the actual apocalypse. Because Dying Is Inconvenient.

•
Bite Club – Respawning is for cowards in this hardcore, perma-death mode. One life left; use it wisely.

•
Legacy Survival – Old-school survival with modern consequences. Play like it’s 2014.

•
7 Days Later – Modern movie-inspired with chaotic hordes of fast-moving zombies. 

•
Caveman’s Life – Survive an apocalypse where tools peaked at sticks.  

•
Dumpster Diver – Turning Garbage Into Greatness. It’s not hoarding if you use it. 

•
Dying World – Resources are fading, and you’re not far behind. 

•
Disaster Film – Catastrophes stack faster than you can fix them. 

•
Chibi Mode – Not only are they cute… They’re fast, too! Good thing you have some speed of your own.

•
For notes about Sandbox server configurations, V2.6 server save game compatibility, and a complete list of all Sandbox Options, see those sections below.

The Arms Race Begins with Magnitude

•
Powerful new Magnitude variants are changing the face of survival in V3.0, bringing boosted stats to looted weapons, tools, workstation mods, and more. An orange star will highlight the special stats along with a % in teal. You might find a Pickaxe with boosted block damage, a Shotgun with boosted range, a Machete with increased damage, or a Cooking pot with faster cooking time. The permutations are endless!

•
All tools and weapons will have a chance to roll boosted stats when found in loot.

•
Tools and weapons still have a chance for random stats and may show a teal percentage, but they are not considered boosted stats unless the stat is marked orange. This could allow combined items to cross over into a boosted range.

•
A wide variety of mods for armor, tools, vehicles, weapons, and workstations will now have progressive quality levels.

•
Higher-quality mods provide stronger bonuses. A Quality 1 Grave Digger mod adds 5% dirt damage, while a Quality 6 version adds 30%.

•
Not every mod benefits from higher qualities. Mods with simple on/off effects, such as the Helmet Light, are still limited to a single version.

•
Survivors can now use the new Combine Station to merge attributes of similar items to incrementally increase their power until they reach their full potential!  It also provides an alternative method for repairs! Traders will now carry Magnitude-enhanced equipment such as weapons with special boosted stats, creating a new high-end economy for serious survivors.

•
The highest percentage stats will be moved to the combined item regardless of quality.

•
When a boosted stat from a Quality 1 item shows 20%, combined with a Quality 6 item, it will have more impact on the Quality 6 item’s higher base stat.

•
With the various degradation and repair options available, players can now choose how punishing the apocalypse can be on items. Repair Method options include no repair, repair kits only, combine repair, or use both kits and combine. Permanent Repair Degradation can be set to 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25% of the item’s max durability per repair (the first repair is free). Death Degradation allows players to choose how much durability items will lose on death or even permanent max durability loss.

•
A new M60 turret has been added to help with those late game hordes. Uses all 7.62 ammo types.

Signs for the End of Times

•
A complete POI signage overhaul arrives in V3.0 thanks to the new Sign-Tech system delivering thousands of signs to the POIS in the game. This brings a richer atmosphere and deeper immersion to every corner of the world. Streets, shops, compounds, and ruins now feature dramatically improved environmental signage designed to make the wasteland feel authentic, coherent, and alive. POI creators will gain access to the Sign-Tech tools through the level design editor at launch. 

•
Canvas & Decal signs of various dimensions (e.g. 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, etc.)

•
Add Text, Shapes and Noise

•
RGBA color picker

•
Layer Masking (Color Only, Color And Mask, Mask Only, Punch Out)

•
Layer Warping (Skew, Pinch/Bulge, Twirl, Kaleido, Perspective, Arc, Stretch, Grid)

Points of Interest (POIs)

•
60+ new POIs, adding expanded depth and variety to the world.

•
Tier 5 – “Champions Coliseum” (soccer_stadium_01)

•
Tier 4 – “Granddaddy’s Cable Regional Service Center” (industrial_60_01)

•
Tier 4 – “Ironwood Paper Mill” (industrial_60_02)

•
Tier 4 – “Beanthere Coffee Company” (industrial_60_03)

•

•

•

•
Tier 4 – “Green Hill” (army_camp_10)

•
Tier 4 – “McOivey Farms” (farm_18)

•
Tier 4 – “Sprout & Sons Nursery (farm_20)

•
2 new RWG tile variants adding more spawning opportunities for 100×100 commercial and industrial themed POIs.

A Fresh Interface for a Brutal World

•
Survivors will be greeted by a newly redesigned Main Menu UI featuring upgraded visuals, improved presentation, and a darker post-apocalyptic aesthetic. While the front end has entered a new era in V3.0, the full in-game interface overhaul is still to come in a future release.

In your Crosshairs

•
Survivors now have complete control over their combat visibility with the new customizable crosshair system. Adjust crosshair scale, opacity, and color to match your personal playstyle, while expanded display settings let you decide exactly when and how your reticle appears. All new customization options can be found in the dedicated Crosshair tab within the General Options menu. 

Sun’s Out, Guns Out!

•
The new Beachwear Pack cosmetic DLC brings tropical chaos to the apocalypse with stylish new outfits built for survivors who refuse to let civilization’s collapse ruin their summer plans. From sandy shores to blood-soaked boardwalks, the wasteland has never looked this relaxed. And remember, when the world ends, the tan begins!

Modding

•
The WebDashboard code was integrated with the core game code, meaning it will always be up to date. For mods there is only two changes:

•
You no longer need to reference additional assemblies, but only the game’s core Assembly-CSharp.dll

•
Due to the code being run through the code publicizer process you might have to adapt some of your code that overrides vanilla methods to also be public

•
“Localization.txt” was renamed to “Localization.csv” to properly indicate its contents and make it easier to open it with spreadsheet tools

•
Changed entitygroups.xml format back to proper XML elements

•
Previous text based format is currently still supported for backwards compatibility

•
The XUi framework has received a massive internal overhaul and code cleanup

•
New binding system moving more control from code to XML. Documentation can be found on the official Wiki (https://7daystodie.wiki.gg/wiki/XUi)

•
Heavily reworked XUi views to reduce code duplication, provide more common features (attributes) across different view types and increase compatibility

•
E.g. tables and grids have more similar attribute names, window anchor names and view pivot names use the same values

•

Server Admin notes for Sandbox Options and legacy property removal

•
With the addition of over 150 Sandbox Options, some of the legacy options previously set in serverconfig.xml have been moved to a new SandboxCode XML property.

•
For server admins that wish to continue their V2.6 save game, you will need to recreate your legacy serverconfig.xml settings using the in-game Sandbox Options menu.

•
Copy the code, and then paste it as the SandboxCode property value in the updated V3.0 serverconfig.xml file.

•
Although we have done our best to communicate with server providers, you may need to work with your specific provider to help setup these options.

•
The name and default value for the new property is:

•

•
The SandboxCode above is an equivalent setup of the legacy default GameDifficulty setting of “Adventurer” or 1.

•
The following is a list of the legacy properties that have been removed/converted:

•
GameDifficulty

•
BlockDamagePlayer

•
BlockDamageAI

•
BlockDamageAIBM

•
XPMultiplier

•

Few things in games are as agonizing as the feeling that something would be right up your alley if you were just able to change that one annoying part. Maybe the movement feels slow and lethargic, or the grind is too long, or you find yourself frustrated by item degradation. 7 Days to Die update 3.0 puts complete control in your hands, offering you a huge collection of modifiers that let you transform exactly how the zombie game works. It's a feature I'm very thankful for, although there are still some notable absences.

Behaviour Interactive have announced today that they've acquired 7 Days to Die developers The Fun Pimps.
Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/behaviour-interactive-have-acquired-7-days-to-die-developers-the-fun-pimps/

Survivors, 

We’re excited to share some big news. The Fun Pimps have officially joined Behaviour Interactive. 

7 Days to Die started back in Thanksgiving 2012, when two brothers cooked up a game idea at the dinner table. Thirteen years later, that idea has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined, with over 20 million copies sold and a community that’s been with us every step of the way.  

There is still so much we want to do, and we’ve always believed the future of our game could be even greater than what we’ve shipped so far. This partnership means more support for 7 Days to Die moving forward. We’ll continue to lead development, just as we always have, but now, with Behaviour’s help, we’ll be able to grow the team and deliver even more for the game and our community.  

Nothing about the heart of the game is changing. Our vision stays the same, our team stays the same, and our focus remains on the community that has carried 7 Days to Die for over a decade. This is simply the next step in a long journey, and we’re excited to take it with you. 

More details are coming soon, including a Reddit AMA on 3/25/26. Feel free to submit your questions ahead of time at r/7daystodie and we’ll answer them live during the session. 

In the meantime, check out this message from Richard about the new partnership:
