CUSTOM LOCATIONS
NWAF
- Re-created after the original NWAF back in Alpha Dayz. One of the best PVP was fought here. With most point of interest center along side the north side, you will most definitely run in to enemies here.
BALOTA
- With some inspiration from Alpha Dayz – Balota offers a few more lootspots compared to vanilla – ensuring you can get kitted with atleast some basic gear for your journey inlands.
NEAF
- Bringing a more military use of a otherwise empty Airfield. But watch out for the dynamic gas!
OIL RIG
- Inspired by the Oil Rigs from Deer Isle – out to sea in the southwest you can stumble across the Oil Rig just a bit off-shore from Rify. Expect high tier loot and PVP – don’t forget your NBC!
DEEP LAKE
- For those venturing far up North – near Deep Lake we’ve built a smaller village – for you to house your base and live in peace and quiet – if lucky.
