Nasdara doesn't care if you live. The water's gone, the infected aren't, and the guy on the ridge has been watching you for ten minutes.
Coming soonDayZ the way
it was meant to hurt.
We run the new Badlands map close to the base game. No shops, no loot boosts, no gear handouts: you wake up with a bone knife, one can of food and a drink. First person only. A few quality-of-life mods, fair admins and a community that plays for the long haul.
Day 3. Found a well outside the oil fields. Dry.
Second one had water, and a guy with an M4 sitting on it. Didn't wait to find out if he was friendly.
Down to half a canteen. Heading north toward the ridge. If anyone finds this, don't trust the guys in red armbands.

FAQ
Do I need the Badlands DLC?
Yes. The server runs the Nasdara map from the Badlands expansion, so you need to own it on Steam to join.
First-person or third-person?
First person only. No third-person camera, no peeking over walls or around corners. What you see is what your character sees.
When are the wipes?
Only when a major DayZ update requires it. Every wipe is announced on Discord well ahead of time.
What do I spawn with?
Vanilla Nasdara clothes, a bone knife, one random can of food and a soda. Every life, already in your pockets. Everything else you find, craft or take.
Why no traders?
Because finding that one rare rifle should mean something. DayZ Mania is about survival, not shopping.
Is this an official DayZ server?
No. DayZ Mania is an independent community server and is not affiliated with Bohemia Interactive.
How do I report a cheater?
Open a ticket on Discord with the time, location and any clip you have. Admins review every report.
