If you’re looking to make travel quicker and safer in7 Days To Die, especially if you’re encumbered, you’ll need to make some sort of vehicle since everything you’ll find is broken. No matter what vehicle, you’ll need some Wheels to craft it, but these aren’t always easy to find.
They’re usually found in some of the more dangerous locations, like auto parts stores or auto garages, so you’ll have to fight plenty of zombies before you even look for them, but even then, they’re pretty rare. Your best bet is to craft Wheels yourself, but you’ll need some specific materials to make them.
