🔎🧟 7 Days to Die V3.4.0 is out: search and filters for backpack and containers

Less digging, more surviving: find items in seconds.

On 26 October 2026, The Fun Pimps released version 3.4.0 of 7 Days to Die as a stable update. The experimental phase ran from 23 October. It builds on the backpack system from V3.3.0: if you are digging through a full inventory in the middle of a horde, you now get some help.

🔎 What is new

  • Search bar and filters: in your backpack and containers you can type an item name or filter by category.
  • Recover lost drones: if your drone gets stuck or goes missing, you can ask a trader to recover it.
  • Adjusted for the new inventory: Night Stalker Vol. 4, Steroids, Chicken Nuggets and the completed Fireman’s Almanac set were updated to match the changed backpack capacity.

🔧 Fixes (according to the patch notes)

  • In multiplayer, the “boosted” icon no longer appears on items that are not actually boosted.
  • The 10th hotbar item can be sold again.
  • The game launches on macOS with Easy Anti-Cheat enabled again.
  • Drones no longer circle the player when placed.
  • Shift + left click moves items into dropped zombie bags and airdrops without errors again.
  • The update also fixes a rare issue where linking a Discord account could lock you out of logging in.

⚠️ Hotfix for multiplayer crashes

Shortly after release, multiplayer games could crash when shared quests that were started before V3.4.0 were still active. According to The Fun Pimps, a hotfix (build b9) resolves this. It also fixes locked inventory slots resetting after you close the inventory. The remaining known issues are listed in the official announcement (link below).
