In the clip, you’ll see a few zombies endlessly jumping to attempt to get to OP, except they’re stuck beyond the barricade and can’t get in. OP can still damage them, however.

Normally, these monstrosities would attempt to get past by breaking through. For some reason though, all they can do is jump non-stop.

From a few explanations in the replies, the barricade looks to be a fence with a bar rotated on top of it, and another bar one block above.

Be Careful, As You Won’t Be Safe Forever

As nice as it would be to use this7 Days to Dieexploit on all the different zombie types you come across and grind them with your eyes closed, OP warns that this doesn’t work all the time.

They explain that it’s a “partial” cheese more than anything, as it only works on a few zombies.

Gathering what OP has said across a few comments, it looks like biker zombies can get you, larger hordes will break walls, and cops will attempt to spit instead of jump. Other replies mention that radiated and explosive zombies also have a chance of damaging you.

Regardless, watching these7 Days to Diezombies mindlessly jump with no attempt to change strategies has people cackling to no end.

Even though it won’t work 100% of the time, some people are finding use in the strategy. One player mentions replacing the barricade with an electric fence, which would help a lot with hordes.

The beauty of7 Days to Die‘s crafting and building mechanics give players an endless amount of creative space to try out any kind of strategy they want.

On that note, we’d like to ask you if you’ve discovered any similar “partial cheese” tactics in7 Days to Diethat aren’t exactly exploits, but aren’t the most head-on ways of fighting the zombies either. Drop your strategies in the comments below!
