7 Days to Die A21.2 Update Patch Notes: Perma Death, Twitch Actions, & More

Are you a hardcore 7 Days to Die player? If so, the latest 7 Days to Die update, A21.2, is perfect for you.  This update adds a new perma death penalty setting, which means you're only ever one mistake from a new game! Here we'll dive right into the 7 Days to Die A21.2 patch notes and all of its big changes and additions.

7 Days to Die A21.2 Update – Patch Notes Highlights

Following the A21.1 update, the 7 Days to Die A21.1 patch adds a new Death Penalty setting. As its name implies, you can change the level of consequence when your character dies. For instance, you can set your instance to have no penalty upon death, such as XP and food loss. On the other hand, you can set the Death Penalty setting to the maximum. If so, your character completely resets when you die. It’s similar to starting a new game since your entire progress for your previous character disappears. Apart from the new death penalty setting, this update also brings new bit actions for Twitch streamers. These new actions include #cacti, #mixup, and #spoil_boxes. Note: This patch is still experimental, so players will likely experience some bugs and glitches when installed.
