Five steps. Five minutes. Then you're on the coast with the rest of us.

  1. 01

    Buy DayZ on Steam if you haven't already. We require the base game — no DLC needed for our main servers.

    Subscribe to required mods

    Open the Steam Workshop links below. Hit Subscribe on each. Steam will download them automatically.

  3. 03

    Open DayZ Launcher

    Launch the game. The DayZ Launcher opens. Go to the Mods tab. Make sure all required mods are checked and in the correct order (Community Framework first).

  4. 04

    Servers tab → Direct Connect → paste a connect string from below. Or search "OutbreakDayZ" under the Community filter.

  5. 05
