7 Days to Die has gotten plenty of new content in its official 1.0 release. Arguably the best thing that developer TFP have added is Machete, or should I say Manny, a character extremely similar to the iconic character played by Danny Trejo.
7DTD version 1.0 has an extensive character creator which you can adjust to your desires. I have had the same exact character for around four years now and I know I'll be making her again, same hairstyle, color and everything.
However, if you want to look cool while exploring through the wastelands of Navezgane but don't want to put in the effort of making your own character, there are plenty of presets, old and new to choose from. One of them is the Manny character, that even the developers have admited looks quite a bit like Danny Trejo.
And honestly, I don't blame them for making a character that looks like Machete. His character would fit perfectly in the zombie world of Navezgane. Not to mention that there are machetes you can use as a weapon in the game. Machete using a machete to take out zombies holds a lot of appeal.
Danny Trejo himself has tweeted about the new character addition to the game. While many are wondering if this could mean legal action against 7DTD characters (which could be a real possibility considering the likeness), it doesn't seem to be the case. He would have probably tweeted something harsher than just 'Machete don't', a callback to the popular 'Machete don't text' line.
The official 7 Days to Die account has commented underneath the post asking for Danny to play the game. I would honestly love to see a developer stream with the Machete playing as the (alleged) Machete character in the game. Fingers crossed that we do get to see it some time in the future.
