Recovery Vehicle Recovery Cone Recover the last vehicle you drove when it is close enough to the cone.
Overview
Driving around? Got stuck? I think we've all been there before... lol
Good thing is you can recover the vehicle yourself! (Hopefully)
How It Works
- The cone will look for the last car you were the driver of, it will then pull that car from its location, to right on top of the cone (if it is within 50m of the cone) .
- Make sure you walk away after you start the cone (you will hear beeping and even get a notification).
- ALL vehicles come with a free cone upon purchase. If you were to lose that cone, they are available at the Vehicle Parts vending machine for 1 ruble.
- If the cone does not work then # create-a-ticket 🙂
Vehicle Keys Vehicle Keys Garage-spawned keys are assigned when you pull vehicles out and removed when you park them.
How It Works
You do not need to buy a key when trying to use your vehicle.
When you pull a vehicle out, the garage will assign a key to it and place it on you. When you park a vehicle in the garage, it will take that same key.
You can also use that key to lock and unlock the vehicle while you are out looting.
Be sure to keep that key on you until the vehicle is parked again.
Key Drop Warning
There are random cases where the key drops to the ground at the meter. PLEASE double check before driving away.
Events Auto-Events Discord bot-run events with map-specific signups and one active entry per player.
How It Works
Auto-Events are Discord bot-run events. When an event goes live, the Auto-Event role will be pinged so players can review the event details.
If you want to participate, click the Count me in button on that server's event.
Only one entry is allowed. You cannot join Chernarus and Alteria simultaneously, so choose between the two.
Switching Maps
If you want to switch maps for the event, hit Remove my entry, then hit Count me in on the other server's event.
Switching Wipes Results
KEEP IN MIND THIS WILL WIPE YOUR RESULTS CLEAN.
First-Time Entry
The Count me in button will automatically accept you if you have participated before.
If not, you will be asked to hit Count me in again to provide your in-game name and SteamID.
Rule 2.11

Craft Bench Craft Bench Use the Craft Bench for supported upgrades and recipes, but empty item contents first.
Before You Craft
Any items you put into the Craft Bench need to have empty contents.
If an item has storage inside it, clear that storage before placing the item into the bench for crafting or upgrades.
Craft Bench Picture
Base Building Bunker Base Building Build an underground-style tunnel base with a ground hatch and protected sky base space.
Want To Build A Bunker Base?
What Is A Bunker Base?
The Bunker Tunnels system lets you dig underground-style tunnel bases.
Your base is deployed extremely high in the sky.
- Your base does not render unless you enter it.
- Less world clutter.
- Reduced map load.
- Better overall server FPS.
You get a full custom base without hurting performance.
How It Works
- Place a hatch on the ground with a Bunker Shovel.
- Enter your tunnel system.
- Build freely inside your own space.
- Requires a FlagPole on the ground and in the base.
- Attach a CodeLock so your base is secure.
Repairs Collapse Repair Boxes Repair clothing and tools faster as you upgrade the box tier.
Repair Box Tiers
Collapse Repair Boxes repair gear faster as the tier goes up.
Upgrading
T1 boxes are found in the world. T2 and T3 boxes come from upgrading at the Craft Bench.
All repair box tiers can be sold at Advanced Trader.
Impound Vehicle Impound What happens when a vehicle is left out too long and how to get it back.
What Happened?
Out looting and now your car is gone?
We apologize, but your car was more than likely impounded.
Impound Rules
- If you are outside of 50m from your car for more than 2 hours, it will be impounded
- Don't worry, it goes to the last garage it was parked in
- It can be retrieved from any garage for a small fee
Why We Use It
We use this system to help so that cars aren't left out for hours on end. It also improves server FPS when less cars are out
Container Control Inventory Sort Mod Use stack, mass move, and clear buttons to clean up containers fast.
DayZ Inventory Guide: Stack, Move & Clear
Managing your inventory just got a whole lot easier. Use these three handy UI buttons to instantly sort, transfer, or empty your containers and clothing.

What it does: Instantly organizes the container's contents and automatically combines loose, stackable items like ammo or resources.
How to use: Click the Stacked Squares Icon in the top-right corner of the container window.
Example: Turning multiple loose piles of ammo into one neat, full stack to instantly free up slots.
2. Mass Move / Collect All
What it does: Transfers every single item from that specific container directly into your personal inventory, or the other way around if transferring into storage.
How to use: Click the Green Arrow Icon next to the container's name.
Example: Emptying a storage cabinet or looting clothing in a single click without dragging items one by one.
3. Mass Drop / Clear Inventory
What it does: Instantly drops everything inside that specific item's inventory directly onto the ground.
How to use: Click the Red Arrow Button next to the container name.
Example: Stripping down a piece of gear or quickly dumping loot on the floor for your squad to sort through.

The Speed Loader is one of the biggest quality-of-life items you can own!
How It Works

- Place a magazine into the mag slot.
- Press one key to instantly load the magazine.

Exploration Diving Guide Walk underwater to explore shipwrecks, underwater bunkers, and submerged loot spots.
What It Does
Diving gear allows players to walk underwater.
It is good to use for shipwrecks and underwater bunkers.
Where To Get Gear
- Diving gear can be found while looting.
- Diving gear can also be bought at Advanced Trader.
Reference Video
Exploration Underwater Bunker Enter with diving gear and a Punch Card, then use the teleport exit after looting.
Requirements
- Requires Diving Gear.

Become the Collapse Chef
Want to up your game and become the Collapse Chef?

Where To Fish
Some fish are saltwater. Some fish are freshwater.
Here is where you can go to catch certain fish.
Freshwater

Keyed Crates Lootchest Guide Use found keys to open restart-based lootchests around the map.
Found Some Keys?
Found some keys? Great! You'll need those.
- You'll find 8 keys that are of use.
- The key name & description will tell you where to go look.
What's The Loot Like?
Each location is slightly different but for the most part you will get:
Key Drops
I heard zombies & monkeys drop keys.
Restart Rule
Lootchests spawn shortly after server restart and can only be opened once per restart.
Quick Tip
Try a crowbar or sledgehammer on a crate, it may work!
Keycards Extreme Zone Card The card has two possible uses, but the second use is not required to leave.
How It Works
- The Extreme Zone Card has two uses.
- The first use is at the door to enter.
- The second use is somewhere inside the zone.
- You do not have to use the card both times to leave.
Quick Note
If you only use the card at the door, you are not locked in. The extra use inside is optional.
Compensation Recording For Compensation Set up Medal, NVIDIA, SteelSeries, or AMD recording before big runs.
Why Record?
Use gameplay recording for trader runs, high-value sales, vehicle transfers, stash moves, or anything that may need proof for compensation.
If items, money, or vehicles are lost due to a server crash, restart issue, bug, desync, vehicle despawn, or another valid server issue, staff may need video proof.
Choose Your Recorder
Open the recorder you use below and follow that setup. Medal works for almost everyone, while NVIDIA, AMD, and SteelSeries depend on your hardware or installed software.
How To Use It
Before starting a trader run, make sure replay capture is enabled or manually start a recording. If something goes wrong, save the replay/recording right away.
Compensation Ticket Requirements
Your clip must clearly show:
Important
Compensation is not guaranteed without proof.
Screenshots may help, but video proof is strongly recommended.
Clips that are too short, blurry, heavily edited, missing context, or only show the aftermath may not be accepted.
No clear video proof = compensation may be denied.

What To Look For
See the image below, that's the shed you are looking for to get your ass outta there! (This is just a template, not the actual location)
Red Trader Protocol Collapse Protocol How red trader trigger spawns scale around solo players, groups, and Collapse guns.
What It Is
Collapse Protocol is our in-house mob spawner system. It is only active at red traders.
Active Locations
- Drug Trader
- Advanced Trader
- Collectibles Trader
- Black Market
How Spawns Roll
When you enter a trigger point, the system rolls spawns based off of you.
That means if you go in solo, it is meant to stay manageable. You are only dealing with the mobs that were rolled for you, not everyone else's on top of yours.
Groups Hit Harder
If you go in with a group, every player who walks through the trigger will roll their own spawns.
So, for example, a group of 5 can naturally create a much heavier fight because each person is bringing their own spawn roll into the area.
The Twist
If you have a Collapse gun anywhere on you, you are automatically bumped out of the regular spawn pool and placed into a separate spawn pool designed around Collapse guns.
