Vanilla DayZ, sharpened for PvP
First person only
No third-person peeking around cover. If you want to see over the wall, you stand up and take the risk like everyone else.
Boosted loot that works
Around 3x vanilla, weighted so rare guns multiply and junk doesn't. Gear spawns in usable condition instead of near-ruined, so what you find is worth carrying.
Bases and raiding
Vanilla base building, locked down with the new vanilla code locks. Breaching charges get you through walls and gates. Abandoned bases decay on their own, so there are no scheduled wipes.
Modded arsenal
Morty's Weapons and Advanced Weapon Scopes, both in the world loot pool. The DayZ Launcher installs the mod set for you when you join.
Airdrops
Scheduled drops plus flares players can call in themselves. Either way, expect company at the smoke.
Raiders on the map
AI patrols hold the military spots inland. A few scavengers with melee weapons work the coast, so fresh spawns have something to fight that won't shoot back. They only turn up when someone's nearby.
How to connect
Use the DayZ Launcher
Open the standard DayZ Launcher, go to Servers, and search VortexGamingHQ. Or add 135.148.151.157:27018 to favorites. The launcher downloads the mod set automatically on first join, so give it a few minutes.
Pick a spawn town
Fresh spawns choose one of six coastal towns, Chernogorsk to Svetlojarsk. Pick near your friends or near a fight.
Check your map
Your starting kit has a map, a knife, bandages, food and water. Open the map and it shows where you are.
Read the rules once
Press PAUSE in game for the full server panel: rules, features and server info. Short version: no cheating, no ghosting, no spawn camping, raid for loot not for spite.
Server rules
It's PvP, so most things go. These don't, and staff are on the server to back that up. You can also pull the rules up in game on the PAUSE panel.
- No cheating, hacking, duping, or exploiting.
- Be respectful. No harassment, slurs, or hate speech.
- No ghosting.
- No spawn camping the coastal spawn towns.
- Raid for loot, not for spite. Raiding is allowed, leveling a base for fun isn't.
- Listen to staff and follow their direction.
Restarts at midnight and noon Eastern. No wipe schedule.
