The impact of an open-world game always feels big, and it gets even bigger with horror elements. Today we will take a look at one of those kinds of games where your skill matters most. Yes, we are talking about 7 Days to Die. This game was released back in December 2013. 7 Days to Die is set in an apocalyptic world where various creatures roam for human flesh, and you are their favorite snack of all. So just survive as long as you can, but somewhere along the road, you will realize that you now need a more advanced tool for acquiring more loot. So what is that tool, actually? Well, the focus of this guide is the Impact Driver tool. This is one of the essential tools that a player needs to acquire more scrap materials. Since it’s a rare thing to find, getting it won’t be easy at all. We took the liberty of making it super easy for you. Let’s learn what it is and how to find and use it.
7 Days to Die Impact Driver: What is It & How to use
The Impact Driver in 7 Days to Die basically looks like a big electrical screwdriver. It’s an excellent tool for disassembling mechanical and electrical blocks. Technically, you can use a wrench and ratchet for this, but they require more hits to disassemble. Disassembling those blocks using the Impact Driver is significantly more efficient, and you gain tons of scrap materials for future upgrades. If you are lucky enough, you can find one of these lying around in one of these locations:
- Working Stiff crates/tools
- Military bases
- Local houses
- Airdrops
If your luck ain’t that bright, then you can always craft it on your own. However, first, you will need to get hold of its Schematic. Also, just like any other tool, the Impact Driver will also deteriorate over time. The more you use it, the more quickly it’ll need repairing. So in that case, grind as much as you can and make sure to craft a Quality 4 or 5 Impact Driver. At max level, it’ll have a durability of 1100, so just aim for Quality 5 for now. Here are the materials required to craft a Quality 5 level Impact Driver:
- 15x Motor Tool Parts
- 48x Forged Steels
- 18x Mechanical Parts
- 3x Springs
- 9x Duct Tape
The crafting materials required for the rest four levels are as follows:
| Quality 1 | Quality 2 | Quality 3 | Quality 4 | |
| Motor Tool Parts | 5 | 7 | 10 | 12 |
| Forged Steels | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 |
| Mechanical Parts | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 |
| Springs | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Duct Tape | 3 | 4 | 6 | 7 |
Once you have access to these materials, you will also need the workbench to craft the tool. Crafting a Quality 1 Impact Driver will take 4 minutes and 23 minutes to complete, and it’ll have a durability of just 500. Now, it’s up to you, whether you want the lowest-quality Impact Driver for a test run or a full-fledged Quality 5 for more loot and durability. We hope this guide provided you with all the information you needed. Keep following Android Gram for more exciting guides like these.
