DayZ

About The Game

This is Your Story DayZ is a hardcore survival game where players strive to endure a post-apocalyptic world teeming with frenzied infected and other survivors. The game features the original Chernarus terrain and the Livonia terrain. Chernarus: The iconic DayZ terrain, set in the post-Soviet state of Chernarus, spans 230 km² of hand-crafted environments based on real-life locations. Livonia: A dense 163 km² map where players can test their survival skills in a new environment. The unfamiliar land of Livonia presents a deadlier-than-ever world, challenging players to see how long they can last. Meet Others Up to 60 players struggle to survive by any means necessary. Make friends, kill on sight, build a base, or risk betrayal over a can of beans. Use VOIP to interact with others however you see fit. Every encounter is meaningful when your life is always on the line. Be wary, stay alert, and trust no one. Survive Chernarus The infected are not your only concern—wildlife and the elements also pose significant threats. Evade packs of wolves and frenzied bears, find shelter from punishing rain, and search for light in the darkness of night. Master complex survival mechanics, including managing hunger, thirst, and body temperature. Loot Up Ensure your gear is always ready. Patch up damaged clothes, craft improvised items, and scavenge for valuable resources in deceptively dead cities. Fix a car and hide it in your secret base, protected by well-placed traps. Enter contaminated zones if you dare, but remember to bring a full hazard suit and gas mask for the precious loot inside. Take Your Shot Intense PvP action can erupt anywhere, especially in hotspots like abandoned military bases, where firefights are common. Some survivors want your loot, others hunt for sport, and some fear you’ll shoot first. Learn when to fight and when to flee—one bullet can change everything. Always watch your back.

Follow the Bear Livonia’s food supply is scarce. To survive, learn to hunt, fish, and forage in the unforgiving wilderness. The land appears more alive now than it ever was before the apocalypse. Discover the Secret Venture south to find the hidden entrance leading to a mysterious underground complex. Bring a friend and some supplies, especially a flashlight, to navigate the darkened maze of corridors awaiting those who enter.
