However, players are not happy about everything as there are many issues found by them, as they play through the content. One of the most frustrating issues is with the Screamers and its ability to call other zombies.

7 Days to Die Players Want Developers to Nerf Screamer

In 7 Days to Die, players’ main goal is to survive and build a strong base. But to collect resources for survival like food, building materials, etc requires players to roam around the world (during the daytime), where they will encounter various enemies.

One of the most frustrating enemies to encounter is the Screamer, not only because they have a higher HP but they also can summon more zombies when they scream. Players goal when encountering these is to kill them before the scream.

However, not everyone is powerful enough to kill them before and that’s a reasonable experience. But what’s not reasonable is screamers calling in other screamers, this is not only dangerous for the players but also disrupts the gameplay experience.

Reddit User, butiamnotabadperson, recently found themselves in the same situation but their experience was worse as they summoned 24 radiated screamers back to back. After seeing the post, other players also shared their experiences.

They’ll *have* to nerf screamers. I’ve just had 24, yes twenty-four, radiated screamers in a row. Twenty four!

Some players agree with the user and say that these screamers are bad.

This whole thread shows that Screamers need to be fixed but first developers at The Fun Pimps need to respond to the matter as well, reassuring players that the studio has noticed the issues.

Developers Need to Address the Issues

In the gaming industry, bugs and issues have sadly become a regular occurrence but usually, developers admit the issues and communicate to the players that they are working on the fixes and ask for more feedback. With 7 Days to Die, developers at The Fun Pimps are dedicated to the game and want to enhance the player experience.

However, issues like screamers are already in the last patch and the studio can’t fix them at the last minute, meaning players who are playing the latest Version 1.0 are experiencing these issues right now.

The only course of action for The Fun Pimps is to admit its faults and offer players a quick patch fixing these issues.

In the end, players are still enjoying the game with all its upgrades and now can only hope that developers fix the random issue as quickly as possible.
