Create your camp

1. Find a MediumTent_Orange. It is rare and is found in the Rify and Pavlovo toxic zones.
2. Deploy it to bind that tent to your Steam account.
3. Keep it standing and repaired. You can have only one active camp, and deploying another tent does not replace a valid camp.

Return after death

1. Respawn at a normal DayZ spawn point and watch for the Campbound HUD message.
2. Stay near the spawn point and go prone before the timer ends.
3. If the camp is ready and the area around it is safe, you are moved inside your tent.

When it will not work

• Moving too far, going prone too late, or having enemies near the camp cancels the return.
• Each use has a cooldown and damages the tent.
• Packing, ruining, deleting or losing the tent removes the camp record.

Claim a vehicle

1. Put one non-ruined Combination Lock in the vehicle cargo.
2. Open every installed door, hood and trunk panel.
3. Use a Wrench on each open panel. It closes when that step is complete.
4. Finish every required panel to claim and lock the vehicle. A lock sitting in cargo by itself does nothing.

Lock, unlock and share

• The owner or a trusted player uses a Lug Wrench at a wheel to lock or unlock the vehicle.
• When locked, doors, hood, trunk, wheels, battery and cargo are protected where DayZ allows it. Unlock from a wheel before trying to use them.
• To trust someone, unlock the claimed car, sit in the driver's seat as owner, and have the other player use a Wrench on it.
• Trusted players can use and lock the vehicle, but they cannot transfer ownership or manage its lock.

Raid and alarm

• Raiders can attempt an engine hack with an Electronic Repair Kit or a hotwire with a Screwdriver.
• After a successful hack, the hood opens. Bypassing the battery and then using a Lug Wrench on a wheel gives a chance to open the trunk and storage.
• Failed hacks and raid mistakes can sound the horn alarm.

Claim and protect

1. Attach a flag to a completed flag pole and raise it all the way to the top.
2. Keep the flag raised. If it falls too low, territory protection switches off.
3. Owners and trusted players can build, place and dismantle, open protected tent doors, and add, remove or pick up protected storage.

Add or leave trust

• To trust a player, the owner lowers the flag once and the player being added raises it back to the top.
• Trusted players cannot add other people.
• To leave a territory, lower the flag once and raise the same flag back to the top yourself.
• A player can belong to only one territory, whether as owner or trusted member.

Territory raids

• Raiders can lower and remove the flag.
• Removing it starts a 10-minute countdown.
• The owner or a trusted player must replace and fully raise a flag before the countdown ends or the territory is lost.

Create and activate

1. Sign in with Steam and create a loadout from Empty, Server Default, or a copy of your active loadout.
2. Choose your survivor model and blood type.
3. Name, copy, delete and manage saved loadouts from the loadout page.
4. Set one loadout active. Your selection is used on the next Deathmatch spawn.

Build your inventory

• Drag an item from Available Items into its equipment slot, an attachment slot, a cargo grid, Hands or the hotbar.
• Drop an item on the survivor to place it automatically: its natural equipment slot first, then the first cargo space that fits, then empty Hands. If none is valid, nothing moves.
• Hold Ctrl while dragging to rotate a cargo item, or Shift to duplicate it.
• Drag a carried item back to Available Items to remove it.

Hands, hotbar and saving

• Whatever is shown in Hands is what you spawn holding. Only one item can be in Hands.
• A container must be empty before it can be placed in Hands; its cargo is unavailable while it is held.
• Hotbar space comes from the equipment in your kit. Drag items onto numbered slots to assign them.
• Changes save automatically. Check the save indicator before leaving the page, and use Save now if you want immediate confirmation.
