Starting out can feel tough, but here are the basics to help you survive and thrive on the server, assuming you have your Vanilla DayZ basics down.
Tip: Always carry spare supplies — canned food and drinks are lifesavers early on.
Open your book with B and select
Party Invitesand accept a chosen incoming invite.
Open your book with B and select
Party Manager.

If you are not in the group,
Create Groupprompt will pop up,

It is important to verify that your party is created succesfully before attempting to invite anyone to your party.

Inviting players to the group is just as easy as double clicking their name from the
Party Managerlist.
Player you want to invite needs to be less than2 metersaway from you.

How to create a party and how to join a party
2‑hour cooldown if you are added to a territory.
Appears at the bottom of the respawn list after death.
1‑hour cooldown in standard towns.
No-raid is often misintepreted as "welcome to the care-bear land". Here on The Enclave we have slightly different view how things should be.
As part of No-Raid rule there is no destruction of structures or dismantling anything on the other player territory.
If an enemy player will enter your premises you are responsible for damages they do (like throwing out items from unsecured storage on the ground)
Players can try to find a way to enter your base. It is important to build with that in mind!
Do not get killed by the mines at your door and close that airlock every time!
You are responsible for making it grief proof.
Guessing a code or using leaked information to open the doors, gates and other objects is not considered raiding.
Farming food is great but in vanilla setting it is easy to get a lot of food that way. This is why growth of plants is slowed down 8x
Fishing lets you catch food, rare fish, and sometimes even strange junk from the water. Different fish live in sea or freshwater, and each one has its own rarity and required fishing method. Some species are very common and easy to catch, while others are extremely rare trophies.
You can use Bamboo Fishing Net to catch
Minnowsthat can be put on the hook as live bait!
Not every cast brings a fish — sometimes you pull out old boots, pans, or other junk left behind by survivors.
Use the tables below to see what you can catch, where it lives, and what gear you need.

AI groups can be encountered across the entire map. Their behavior varies depending on their type and location. Some appear as regular survivors moving through villages and looting buildings, while others operate as organized military, police, or NBC patrols assigned to specific zones. NBC units are commonly found around toxic areas such as Pavlovo, Rify, and dynamic gas drops or bombings.
Most likely you will find AI armed in pistols or low tier weapons.
You can find (small chance) roaming AI that behave like players in villages and towns, they behave quite like players - loot, run around, and know how to fight.
AI presence is higher around key points of interest. Expect increased activity in and around:
- Castles
- Police Stations (Police AI patroling the area)
- Prison Island
- VMC
- NWAF
- Kamenka
- Grozovy
- Tri Kresta
- Tisy
These locations have elevated patrol density and a greater chance of encountering armed groups.
Most AI have a small chance to drop a Protective Case. These cases may contain keys for high‑tier loot chests.
Standard AI can drop cases containing keys up to Tier 3.
AI that spawn in Tri Kresta and Tisy have a chance to drop cases containing Tier 4 keys but the droprate is decreased.
Most AI are intentionally poorly equipped. They are not designed to be high‑difficulty combat encounters. Their purpose is to add ambient activity, noise, and unpredictability across the map without overwhelming players.
- Limited ammount of Toxic Patrols
- Hard difficulty
- Considerable loot from patrols
- Chance to loot
Toxic Key- Toxic chests in this zones contain attractive loot like silencers, helicopter parts and more...
- NWAF or Tisy AI Heli Crash Patrol
- Extra loot on the ground around the heli
- Can include helicopter parts, keys and mmg storage
Map is not pixel perfect - If you can stick your flag = You can build.

AI can be found in various location on the map.
All AI have a chance of dropping a
Protective Case
It can contain various items but most commonly you will find Keys inside.
How to recognize a gas event
When a dynamic gas strike is about to happen:
- A flare lights up the area (especially visible at night)
- Sirens sound, warning that contamination is imminent
- If you see or hear this, you’re on a timer
Behavior & difficulty
In short: if you survived the gas, they are there to make sure you don’t get out easily.
Required preparation
To engage Toxic AI safely, you should have:

There is a high chance that heli crash site will be guarded by an AI Patrol.
They can drop Protective Case just like other AI of the same type.

The AI Helicopter Patrol is a dynamic airborne encounter featuring a fully armed Apache helicopter that roams the skies above NWAF and Tisy.
It is one of the most cinematic and high‑intensity PvE events on the server.
A map marker shows the current live position of the helicopter at all times.
Requires 10+ players online to spawn
Spawns maximum 5 minutes after conditions are met
Respawns only after the wreck despawns
The helicopter does not despawn during patrol.
It remains active until destroyed by players.
The helicopter currently patrols:
It continuously loops through these areas and does not vanish unless shot down.
The helicopter uses a mix of turret fire and missile attacks.
If it loses sight of the player for 300 seconds, it disengages.
The helicopter crash event can drop:
Category Items Top‑Tier Weapons G36, AWM Assault Rifles M4A1, AK101, FAL, AS VAL Sniper / DMR SVD, SV98, M1A Special Weapons VSS, MP5SD Gear Plate Carrier Vest, Tactical Helmets, NVGs Ammunition & Explosives Grenades, Tracer Ammo, Rare Magazines Attachments High‑tier Optics, Suppressors, Rails Utility & Supplies Repair Kits, Codelocks, Nails Special Drops C4 Parts, Helicopter Parts (Battery, Hoses, Fluid, Igniter Plug)
The King of the Hill system introduces rotating high‑value objectives across Chernarus. Each event creates a temporary hotspot where players compete to raise a flag, hold the area, and secure rare loot.
When a KOTH activates:
Smoke color reflects the current capture state:
- Yellow Smoke — No players are inside the capture radius; the flag is idle
- White Smoke — At least one player is inside the radius; the flag is rising
- Green Smoke — The flag has reached the top; the event is complete
Each additional player inside the capture radius increases the capture speed, allowing coordinated groups to secure the objective faster.
When the flag reaches the top:
Players must loot quickly — the area will be cleared of all items after a short cleanup period.
KOTH reward crates can contain a wide variety of high‑value items, including:
Each KOTH spawns a limited number of items from the loot table, ensuring variety and replayability.
Each KOTH location spawns a selection of infected drawn from a large civilian, police, medical, and special‑unit roster.
These enemies create pressure and prevent uncontested captures.
KOTH events rotate across several curated high‑value zones:
Each location offers unique sightlines, cover, and tactical challenges.
After a KOTH concludes:
60-90 seconds from the first sound gas will drop and hold up for 15 minutesYou can find Keys and Cigarettes (Zdzichu The Builder will exchange them for random MMG Storage, the can be useful elsewhere too, worth keeping)
Every Vehicle can be despawned after 3 days.
Vehicle covered withCamo Netwill despawn after 14 days.
We have a wide variety of vehicles available. Almost all vanilla vehicles spawn in working condition, though some may occasionally be missing parts such as a battery, radiator, spark plug, or—more rarely—wheels.
Note: New vehicle spawn points have been added across the entire map.





You can use a
Car Keyto lock any vehicle (Boat, Car, Helicopter).
Just take it to your hands and look at the vehicle you want to pair it with.


Every vehicle can be lockpicked, it might take a lot of tries but is possible.
Take aLockpickin your hands and look at the vehicle you want to open. Good luck!

Use
Screwdriveron OPENED CAR withCar Keyassigned to remove a lock.

The Land Rover is considered the best vehicle on the server.
- Commonly found in dark colors
- Equipped with 6 speed gearbox
- Can extend storage with wooden crates and sea chest
- Excellent off-road performance
- Seats up to 4 passengers
- Rare color variants (other than green) can occur

Helicopters are the fastest means of transportation available and require the most skill to operate.
Sometimes time is critical so being able to afford risking your helicopter to engage in activities like KOTH, Airdrops, Prison Island, Tisy, Bunkers makes you not only efficient but also everyone sees that you have balls to do this.
Parts required for their maintenance and repair can only be found at:
- When helicopter receives damage, yaw control (
qandedefault keys) becomes more challanging for the pilot (more damage, more difficulty)- A skilled pilot can control even a spinning aircraft
- Fixing your helicopter with Pipe Wrench adresses the tail rotor damage as well
Requires: Vehicle Hangar Key
Location: Elektrozavodsk Docks – Restricted Hangar

The Vodnik Vehicle Quest is a light‑risk, high‑reward event that allows players to obtain a fully operational Vodnik by locating a Vehicle Hangar Key and using it to unlock a secured hangar in Elektrozavodsk.
This event is designed to reward active gameplay in Airdrops and KOTH without forcing players into high‑conflict scenarios. Once the key is obtained, the objective is straightforward: reach the hangar, unlock it, collect the vehicle and parts, and leave the area before anyone else notices.
The Vehicle Hangar Key can be found while participating in:
The hangar remains locked until a player uses the key. Once opened, it becomes accessible to anyone nearby for 2 minutes, so timing and awareness matter.
Inside the hangar, players will find:
No additional puzzles or combat mechanics are involved. The challenge comes from reaching the location safely and avoiding potential ambushes.
Whenever a vehicle is outside of the basic map, Central Economy is entitled to remove it from the game.
- Flag pole kit creates a complete flag for you. No other items needed - ever
- Recipe: 1 Rope + 3 Short Sticks
- Note: Place your flag wisely, Make sure your territory is created because it also acts as a respawn point (every 2 hours)
- Note2: Flag cannot be interacted by people not assigned to the territory

We are using Vanilla Tier mechanics to determine what tier of Loot Crate you will find.
According to the map below you can identify 4 basic tiers.
- Green -
Tier 1- Blue -
Tier 2- Yellow -
Tier 3- Red -
Tier 4
All Tier 1 and Tier 2 Loot Crates are open and do not need a key but their loot can sometimes be far from satisfying (and sometimes can be quite good!)
You will need a Tier 3 Key to open Tier 3 Loot Crate, and Tier 4 Key to open Tier 4
- Keys can be obtained from
Tier 1, 2 and 3CratesProtective Casesdropped by AI.- Also thru dynamic events like airdrops and as ground loot.
Additionally you can find more advanced keys inside the game like NBC Key that opens special crate in Rify and Pavlovo.

The idea here is that you roam military sites around Green (Tier 1) and Blue (Tier 2) military zones and open crates as a "boost" to ground loot.
Some tiers (list below) of loot crates are openable by tools or lockpick.

When you will be holding an applicable item - an inviting message to destroy or pick the lock will appear.

Each Tier of the Loot Crates contains different class of gear.
There is a chance that inside the chest you will find a key that is one tier higher and hopefully adjacent to your current location to enchnce your adventure.
Pro tip: You can use your
Whetstonesto sharpen crowbars to open more low level crates in one go.
But be carefull! You can get hurt while operating the crowbar.

Basebuilding crates are around the coast in the Industrial Zones.

Jump to Vehicle Quest for more information
The server offers tens of various tasks that are not needed to enjoy the game.
There are multiple types of quests:
Different types of replay:
More types like VIP Extractions or Gun Runs are in development.
There are 4 Basic Quest Givers types:
- Sister Jenny (In Blue medical buildings)
Killing civilian infected forMedical supplies- Hunter Thomson (In Hunting Camps)
Hunting certain animals or delivering trophies forKeysandRed Tip .308 Ammo- Deserter Peter (In Castles)
Hunting military infectedKeys!- Builder Zdzichu (On Building sites)
Bringing him beers and cigarettes forNailsandMMG Storage
Those 4 NPCs allow you to pickup a quest from
Sister Jennyin one town and turn it in toSister Jennyin another, mitigating the risk of being camped but be careful.
Helicopter Pilot is a specific quest NPC. You can find him on each of 3 airports on the map:
Balota (Round roof barracks)
NWAF (Airport Control Tower)
Krasno (Kitchen of Airport Control building)
You can bring either a Hydraulic Hose, Helicopter Battery or Igniter Plug to the pilot and he will exchange it for one of the following items (your choice):
Hydraulic Hose
Helicopter Battery
Igniter Plug
Hydraulic Fluid (full can)
To perform the trade you must have 500 reputation, and each exchange will take away 500 reputation from your account.
This allows you to convert duplicate helicopter parts into the one you are missing, or obtain Hydraulic Fluid which is otherwise very rare.

You do NOT get reputation by killing other players.
If you manage to get in to the base in a legal way - you are allowed to steal from it but admins will not help you with getting out if you are trapped and logging off at someones base after raiding them might be consider a more serious offensive towards the third point of PvP Rules.
Small Airport Key is your best friend here but there are more ways to find it:
- Check heli crash sites
- Kill Toxic AI (sometimes they have it in their backpacks)
- Open Small Airport Loot Crates
- Check Wiki
