These are the main Deadly Horizons server rules. Players should review these first.
Raiding is only allowed during the official weekend raid window.
Raid hours are Friday 8:00 PM EST through Sunday 8:00 PM EST. Outside that window, bases are off limits.
All raids must use intended DayZ mechanics and remain fair.
Door raids only. No boosting, wall glitching, toe peeking, forced interactions, or other unintended entry methods.
Defines footprint, wall height, storage, and code-lock limits.
Maximum base footprint is 3x4. Maximum wall height is 3 walls high. Limits also apply to storage and code-locked doors.
Bases must not block map flow or be too close to major server areas.
Do not build within 300 meters of major event areas, KOTH, airdrops, hacked crates, black market, main trader, or event zones.
Respect protected trader areas and other players inside them.
Stealing, tampering with property, harassment, and other abuse inside safezones is not allowed.
Deadly Horizons is a hardcore PvP server outside of safezones.
All PvP is allowed outside safezones. Stay alert, trust carefully, and expect danger once you leave protected areas.
Unintended mechanics and exploits are strictly prohibited.
No clipping, boosting where not intended, terrain abuse, broken animation abuse, or any other exploit-based advantage.
Cheats, scripts, duping, and unfair third-party advantages are banned.
Cheating accusations must go through the ticket system with evidence whenever possible. Confirmed cheating leads to punishment.
Play the game as intended and keep the server competitive for everyone.
Any unfair advantage may lead to warnings, base removal, character wipes, temporary bans, or permanent bans.
Admins enforce the rules and ticket reports should include proof.
Admin decisions are final. Use the ticket system and bring clips or video evidence whenever possible.
These extra posters cover important server guidance for fresh spawns, bitcoin rig limits, and base raiding behavior.
Fresh spawns deserve a chance to leave the coast and gear up.
Do not kill fresh spawns or spawn camp the coast. Give new players a fair chance to survive and move inland.
Sets the limit for bitcoin rigs and keeps economy progression fair.
Maximum of 2 bitcoin rigs per group. Rigs must be secured in your claimed base. Abuse or economy exploitation may result in rig removal and penalties.
Raid the base, not the vehicles. No popcorning or ruining vehicles.
Players may raid for loot, but may not strip, sabotage, or intentionally ruin vehicles simply to grief a team.
