New Recruit Induction

Survival Manual

Welcome to Chernarus/Namalsk/Deer Isle. This guide will help you navigate your first hours and establish a foothold.

I. Initial Deployment

Upon spawning, you will find basic starting gear. Check your inventory immediately. Your first priority is securing a weapon and sustenance. Military zones offer better loot but higher risk from AI or rogue elements even in PvE (if enabled).

Pro Tip: Check for Safe Zones

Safe Zones appear as green circles on the map (Press M). No damage can be dealt or taken here.

II. The Economy

Earning Rubles

  • Sell pelts and meat to the Hunter Trader.
  • Completing high-tier loot runs.
  • Participate in server events.

Spending Rubles

  • Buy vehicles from the Mechanic.
  • Purchase building supplies.
  • Acquire high-grade weaponry.

III. Establishing a Base

Once you have resources, build a territory flag. This protects your area from despawning and other survivors building nearby. Use the custom building menu (default key: B) to access advanced structures.
