7 Days To Die Auger
AUGER
Overview
The 7 Days To Die Auger is one of the best tools to use if you’re going to be mining, but it can also be used to destroy things much faster, except for wooden items. It can also be used as a melee weapon but deals very little damage.
The auger can be both looted and crafted. If you’re lucky, you can usually find augers inside working stiff crates or garage storage crates. To use an auger, you will need to fuel it with gas. There is also an assortment of mods that can be attached to improve performance and increase resource yields which you can find below.
Warning
Using an auger will generate heat on the Heat Map, meaning you will attract screamers which will in turn bring more zombies to your location if the heat map gets hot enough.
HOW TO MAKE AN AUGER
To make an auger in 7 Days To Die, you must find and read 60 Tool Digest Books. This will allow you to build a LvL 1 Auger. If you wish to build a better quality Auger, you must read more Tool Digest books. The more you read, not only will the quality go up, but so will the resources cost.
MODS
