How to enable third-person view in 7 Days to Die

If you're looking for a way to enable third-person view in 7 Days to Die, you've come to the right place. The Fun Pimps' survival game has recently received a massive world update, incorporating some fantastic new features, and players are excited to get back to their world building once again.

This article will provide you with a detailed brief on how you can enable third-person view in 7 Days to Die. To know more about it, read below.

How to switch to third-person view in 7 Days to Die

The third-person view in 7 Days to Die can be enabled via a console command in the game. The camera model can be further tweaked using this command, providing you access to unique new perspectives, all of which can be used for a plethora of creative purposes. However, it must be noted that if you want to enable third-person in the game, it will disable the prospect of earning achievements in the game.

If you are serious about earning achievements, we urge you to not try on servers where you've built your main world around. You can initially try it out in creative mode, and if the prospect of earning achievements does not matter to you, you can go ahead and implement it directly in your main world.
