    Project Zomboid is a very engaging game with many surprisingly deep elements; sheet rope and its uses are one of those remarkably realistic easter eggs in the game. It is a handy item that can help you escape from or enter into an overrun building. This guide will first show you how to make sheet rope in Project Zomboid and then how to use it to get around the world. Let’s get started!

    How to Use Sheet Rope in Project Zomboid

    Sheet rope allows you to enter or exit a building by climbing down the cloth. For it to remain fastened at the top, you will need to use a hammer and nail to pin the sheet rope in place. From there, you will need to add as many lengths of sheet rope as is necessary to reach the ground.

    How Many Lengths of Sheet Rope Do You Need?

    You will need to use one length of sheet rope for every floor you want to travel past, including the starting floor. Thus, two lengths are required to exit a two-story building. For a three-story installation, you will need three lengths of sheet rope and a single hammer and nail.

    Can You Use a Sheet Rope from the Ground?

    If the sheet rope has already been placed, you can climb up it to reach the upper story window. If, however, you have not secured the sheet rope to the floor you want to climb to, you will be unable to attach it from the ground floor. This is because you need to secure it using a hammer and nail from the upper story.

    How to Make Sheet Rope in Project Zomboid

    To make sheet rope in Project Zomboid, you will need some cloth items. The most obvious is a bed sheet, given the name. However, you can make sheet rope from several cloth-like items in PZ. Here are the things that you can currently turn into sheet rope:

    • Sheet
    • Vest
    • Blouse
    • Sweater
    • Pants
    • Skirt

    Project Zomboid players can convert all of these items 1:1 into a length of sheet rope.

    Tips and Tricks to Using Sheet Rope in Project Zomboid

    Sheet ropes are one of the most valuable tools for players looking to make a secure safe house or base. Most simply, it can provide a means of alternate escape in case your base gets overrun.

    Yet, you can use the sheet rope in Project Zomboid even more effectively. You can board up all windows and doors to prevent easy entry and rely only on the sheet rope to get into your base.

    You can actually go one step further to secure your base. If you find the sledgehammer in Project Zomboid, you can use it to demolish any stairs on the bottom floor. In that way, zombies will have no route up into the upper floors of your base.

    While this is one of the best ways to secure your home base, it also makes for a slow entry/exit time. If you do not need to secure your base this effectively, especially if your base is in a very tall building, it may be better to use only the sheet rope from the 2nd story rather than the top floor.

    Note: Zombies can destroy your sheet rope while you are out of your base or while you are sleeping in Project Zomboid. Therefore, you should have more than one sheet rope setup to enter/exit in case your rope gets destroyed. You should also have two or more sheet rope segments inside your base, or you will have difficulty getting back out if your ropes are all destroyed by zombies.

    The Weight of Sheet Rope

    Sheet rope, made from bed sheets or other strips of cloth, is relatively light. It only weighs 0.8. However, the weight can add up since you need two lengths of rope per story. If you want to make a daring escape from a very tall building, you will need to look like you came from a toga party and be covered in bed sheets.

    Other Common Questions Players Have about Sheet Rope

    Can You Close a Window with a Sheet Rope Coming Out of It?

    The simple answer is yes. Project Zomboid likes to be as realistic as possible, and realistically, you could close (or very nearly close) a window with a single, thin cloth coming out from under it. This helps to reduce the noise you emit from your dwelling or safe house.

    Can You Find Sheet Rope Anywhere in Project Zomboid?

    In Project Zomboid, sheet rope is an item that must be crafted by the player(s). You will not find it available pre-made anywhere. That being said, it is a fairly simple item to craft. Even relatively new players to Project Zomboid should be able to make sheet rope.

    How Can You Attach Sheet Rope in Project Zomboid?

    To attach sheet rope, interact with a window while holding onto the necessary components (sheet rope, nails, and a hammer). You can attach it to the window from there.

    Can You Attach Sheet Ropes to Anything Else in Project Zomboid Besides a Window?

    Many players don’t realize it, but you can attach sheet ropes to other wooden surfaces in Project Zomboid as well. For instance, wooden railings, like you’d find on balconies, are also great anchor points for your sheet ropes.

    The Bottom Line on Using Sheet Rope in Project Zomboid

    Sheet rope is a very versatile and valuable item. It allows you to exit quickly from danger, avoid unnecessary risks, secure your base, and more. It is also straightforward to make from several abundant resources, so you should not have trouble making and using sheet rope in game.
