But the tides have turned. With the latest hotfix and experimental branch update, The Fun Pimps have officially announced:
In the brutal, ever-evolving sandbox of 7 Days to Die , survival is never guaranteed. Between the blood moon hordes, the scavenging runs in the radioactive wasteland, and the constant threat of structural collapse, players have learned to expect the unexpected. However, even by the game’s merciless standards, the Titan Infernal Hound was a nightmare unlike any other. For weeks, this flaming, oversized canine terrorized the community, breaking servers and shattering the will of even the most hardened veterans.
Initially introduced as part of an experimental and a hidden trigger within the Tier 5 Infested Quests , the "Infernal Hound" was supposed to be a rare, elite variant of the standard zombie dog. But due to a scaling error in the entity spawning XML files, things went horribly wrong. The "Titan" Bug The bug triggered when a player with a high Game Stage (over 180) entered a city biome during a Blood Moon while a "Horde Night" and a "Screamer Horde" overlapped. The game’s spawning algorithm would attempt to apply the "Titan" tag—reserved for dire wolves and mutant bears—to the "Infernal Hound."
