Navezgane is a massive map with many areas for players to explore. From large cities to small hidden hideouts, there are countless places for players to find and loot. 7 days to die. Not only are there plenty of great places above ground to explore, but there are also a handful of bunkers scattered across the map that players can stumble upon.

Some of the underground locations are hard to miss, while others are difficult to find. Some experienced players already know where most of the underground locations are. But for those newer players, this guide will help them find some of the best and most interesting underground locations in Navezgane.

Bart’s rescue

• Location: 1176 West | 114 South
• Biome: Burnt Forest

Bart’s Salvage may seem like a pretty simple POI. It has a pretty big bunker that is home to lots of zombies and lots of great loot. There are several ways to get into the bunker. The first option is a hatch at the back of the junkyard. The second option is for the player to dig up a section of the metal floor in the main building. This leads to a staircase that leads directly into the bunker.

The bunker is spread over several levels. It is a good place for anyone who wants to live underground. However, for low level players, this location is not ideal. The bunker is full of undead, which makes it a pretty difficult place. If you want to clear this place, it is best to bring some good weapons, plenty of medicine, and if possible, a few friends to help you.

New Life Hope Hut

• Location: 1496 West | 95 South
• Biome: Pine forest

Just a stone’s throw from Bart’s Salvage, right on the edge of the pine forest, lies the New Life Hope Cabin. The underground portion of this POI is not as large and not as difficult to clear as Bart’s Salvage. There are several ways to enter this underground cave system. The first way is to go through the hatch in the shaft. The second way is a hidden ladder on the back left side of the garage on the left side of the property. The final way in is in the main building.

When you enter the above-ground building, the ground gives way and you fall into a large body of water in the cave system. While this is not the best place to create a base, it has the potential to become a reasonably decent mine.

Hidden Hollow

• Location: 2162 West | 723 North
• Biome: Pine forest

Hidden Hollow is very easy to miss. This area is located in the Pine Forest region in the middle of nowhere. There are no roads leading to it and no large buildings to indicate anything special in the area. The only thing players will see is an abandoned car. But if you look around, You will see a small hatch hidden behind some bushes. This hatch leads to an underground bunker.

While it’s not the largest bunker in Navezgane, it’s ideal for low-level players looking for somewhere to stay at night. There are a few zombies you’ll need to clear out before you can move in, but it’s a very easy place to occupy. Additionally, since there are no buildings around the bunker, it’s relatively easy to build a fort around it.

Prepper’s Den

• Location: 1392 West | 2029 South
• Biome: Wasteland

Prepper’s Den is located in the middle of nowhere in the wasteland. In the middle of the rubble there is a hatch that leads down to a small bunker the size of a shipping container. With only one or two zombies inside, this is the easiest underground location to conquer. There is some loot inside, but it’s nothing special.

This bunker is not really well suited to convert into a base as it is very small. Also, as it is located in the wasteland, you will encounter stronger zombies on horde nights should you decide to make this place your home. It is an interesting place to visit, but it is not worth occupying.

Canyon Mine

• Location: 702 East | 1236 South
• Biome: Desert

The Canyon Mine is located very close to Trader Bob in the desert biome. Although it doesn’t look like much from the outside, Canyon Mine is, as the name suggests, actually a pretty large underground mine. Keep in mind that there are a lot of tough enemies to take down during your visit to the mine, but the loot is worth it.

Not only that, but since it’s a mine, there are also plenty of great resources for players to harvest. The mine has several large oil shale deposits that can be used to produce gas. To get into the mine, you can either destroy the floor in the building or descend into the large ravine next to the mine where there are a few more entrances.

Aranea Caves

• Location: 1034 West | 1760 South
• Biome: Wasteland

High-level players may want to visit the Aranea Caves. Located south of Trader Joel in the wasteland, Aranea Caverns is a fairly large cave system with plenty of good loot and valuable ore deposits. While it’s a great place to loot, it’s a challenge to clear. Zombies are hidden throughout the mine, so proceed with caution.

Unfortunately, it’s not a particularly good base as its walls are not well fortified. But it’s a great place for keen adventurers who enjoy exploring the more challenging POIs that Navezgane has to offer.

Lazy Cave

• Location: 1486 West | 742 South
• Biome: Wasteland

Rotten Cavern is a massive network of caves that lead deep underground into the wasteland. It’s very easy to get lost in this area, so be sure to bring a light source and put down a few blocks every now and then to help you find your way out.

The Rotten Cavern is home to many tough zombies hidden everywhere. Rotten Cavern is not for low level players. You will need to be well armed to traverse this place and come out the other side alive. Since it is a large cave, there are plenty of ore deposits to mine. There is also a decent amount of loot, especially if you work your way to the bottom of the cave.

End of the journey

• Location: 2108 West | 2108 North
• Biome: Snow

At the very top of the map, on the other side of the Perishton Tunnel, there is a fairly modern retirement home on the snow-capped mountains. This place does not have an underground bunker. Instead, it has a really nicely decorated basement that can easily be converted into a player base. Since the place is on a mountain top, It’s a great vantage point for those who want to take out the zombies one by one as they approach during Horde Night.

The whole building is a pleasantly warm area, apart from the undead guests! But the enemies that appear here aren’t that difficult to take out. Since the whole area is quite remote, there is a lot of open land where players can expand and grow their base over time.
