7 Days to Die Update Removes Game-Breaking Perk, Fixes Vending Machines & More

A new 7 Day to Die update is live on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The new patch has removed the game-breaking perk, “Run Forrest Run,” which could be abused in game, breaking the stamina structure. In addition to removing the broken perk, the developers have fixed an issue with rented vending machines. Bundled items would often get stuck when in use. The vending machines will now no longer disappear after the rent has lapsed.
