In 7 Days to Die, there are multiple threats to consider, aside from the numerous zombies lurking around every corner. Survival is your number one priority in this title, so players will need to maintain important factors, such as their health, hunger, and thirst.
However, while managing these factors players will eventually start coming across a series of buffs, de-buffs, and niche effects that can be gained by ingesting certain food or drinks, engaging in combat, and other scenarios. While some effects may be beneficial to your playthrough, others can be a huge hindrance. For this reason, knowing each effect in the game, what it does, and the cure for negative effects will come in very handy. Players seeking this information can find everything they’ll need in the guide below.
