The Fun Pimps announced the release of the V2.5 Apiary Hotfix EXP for 7 Days to Die via their Discord server. You can shamble on over to their website for a look at the official patch message, here. This hotfix sounds like preparation for the larger V2.6 update coming in a few weeks.
It also appears to address some issues with the Hellreaver DLC for 7DtD as well.
My, it has been some time since I’ve hopped into 7 Days to Die!? I’m honestly a bit in shock with just how long it has been over all. Steam reports I haven’t played it since April 11, 2025!?
I won’t fret though, I suspect I’ll be back into the scavenging game of the zombie apocalypse eventually! Until that time, be sure to smash (shoot, stab, or maim) some zombie skulls for me, will ya?

V2.5 Apiary Hotfix EXP
Howdy survivors!
We are pushing a very quick V2.5 experimental hotfix today to address a few issues before a much larger V2.6 update coming in a few weeks.
This will include many improvements to the Apiary, but most importantly a fix for some chunk corruption issues.
Also note that the bee swarms have a chance to spawn when the Apiary is closed instead of when opened.
This will allow players to add flowers or tool mods without having to worry about being in the window.We have also have a fix for the Hellreaver cosmetic console spam and the shin guards not showing on the female version.
Here is what else made it into V2.5 b27:
Added
- CloseEvent XML property in blocks.xml for use with the Apiary
Changed
- Reworked loot lists and quality templates to allow Quality 6 (Purple) clothing to spawn in loot
- Increased the chance to find clothing items in loot
- Updated English Apiary to inform the player that the bees will now spawn when closing the Apiary instead of when opening it
Fixed
- Apiaries could cause NRE resulting in chunk write errors and reset on dedicated servers
- Errors when zombies went into destroy area mode near bedrock
- Twitch Integration Error on Dedicated Servers
- Gift subs with multiple subs only counted as one gift sub
- Apiary honey progress indicator was not updating properly
- Apiary mod visuals were not showing when returning to the chunk
- Honey was producing in the background while Apiary slots were full
- Cloth Shader for wasteland assassin’s cloak was causing issues
- Female Hellreaver boots were not displaying the shin guards properly
- Tree Hat DLC was clipping through ears, chin and/or back of the head for Native 03
- Pirate outfit eyepatch was clipping on some characters
- Lumberjack Gloves were invisible in first person view for female characters
- Camera no longer stutters when driving a vehicle (Note: This issue still applies to passengers – we are actively working on a fix)
