How to Unlock New Quest Tiers in 7 Days to Die

Quest progression is a fundamental part of 7 Days to Die’s gameplay experience. Whether you’re new to the game or looking to advance your current playthrough, understanding how quest tiers work is essential. This guide will walk you through the straightforward system for unlocking new quest tiers and what to expect as you progress.

Understanding the Quest Tier System

The quest tier system in 7 Days to Die is based on a simple progression model: to unlock a new quest tier, you must complete 10 quests from the current tier you’re on. This means if you want to access Tier 2 quests, you’ll need to successfully complete 10 Tier 1 quests first. The same rule applies to all subsequent tiers—complete 10 of Tier 2 to unlock Tier 3, and so on.

Completing Your Current Tier

Start by working through the quests available in your current tier. Focus on finishing 10 quests to trigger the unlock for the next tier. Each completed quest brings you one step closer to progression and opens up new gameplay opportunities.

Accessing Higher-Tier Quests

Once you’ve completed 10 quests from your current tier, return to your quest giver (such as Jen in your settlement). Speak with them to check for newly available quests.

After completing Tier 1, when you talk to Jen, you’ll see that Tier 2 quests are now available. The dialogue will confirm the new tier is unlocked, and you can begin accepting these new quests.

New Features in Higher Tiers

As you progress to higher quest tiers, you’ll notice that new quest types become available. For example, Tier 2 quests introduce quests that can only be completed at night—something that wasn’t available in Tier 1. These exclusive, tier-specific quests add variety and new challenges to your gameplay experience.

Summary

Unlocking new quest tiers in 7 Days to Die is straightforward: complete 10 quests from your current tier, then speak to your quest giver to access the next tier. Higher tiers unlock exclusive quest types, such as night-only missions, keeping your gameplay fresh and challenging as you progress through the game.
