These are all the weapons that can be crafted in the current version of 7 days to die at the time of writing. Players can craft any of these weapons simply by reading the required magazine within the game for their character to have learned how to craft it and then having the required materials. Once a player reaches a workbench, they can craft any weapon they want.

Players will want to make sure they have the best weapons possible so they can expand their base or search around it for much-needed materials and items. However, players will also need to protect themselves heavily, especially since zombies will attack a base regardless of whether a player is inside or not. It's smart to also be prepared for the Blood Moon phase within the game, which will cause even more monsters to appear.

Remember that while a weapon's level may require more in-game knowledge or more materials, it can be extremely important to have a higher level weapon to take down enemies quickly.
