Server rules

These rules apply in Discord and in-game on Dead Country #1 and #2. Breaking them in one place can get you punished in the other. Staff rulings are final. Rules are subject to common sense.

1. Conduct

1. Treat everyone with respect: staff, players and the community.
2. Zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, racism, discrimination, slurs, attacks on religion, bullying or targeted harassment.
3. Trash talk is fine while it stays in-game and about the fight. Personal attacks, real-life insults or inappropriate topics will get warnings or bans.
4. No self-promotion (servers, Discords, streams, YouTube, communities, products or services) unless staff approve it via a ticket.
5. No spam, no NSFW, piracy or otherwise dodgy content, and don't post other people's personal information.

2. Staff, tickets & disputes

6. Admin rulings are final, including base and structure disputes. Admins may remove any structure that hurts gameplay or performance.
7. Disagree with a decision? Open a ticket and keep it respectful. Public arguments, drama or harassment toward staff will be punished.
8. Open a ticket for help, player reports or disputes. Don't @mention or DM staff for these.
9. Staff don't moderate private DMs between members. Report those to Discord Trust & Safety and block the user.
10. We don't reimburse lost items. Gear can be lost to glitches, crashes, restarts, combat, griefing or technical issues. Play at your own risk and keep important gear secured.

3. Cheating, exploiting & combat logging

11. Exploiting, duping, third-party software or hacks, glitch abuse or any other cheating = permanent ban, no appeal. We actively monitor logs.
12. Combat logging is prohibited. Don't disconnect during combat or within 5 minutes after an engagement. Combat logging = 24-hour ban + gear wipe.
13. Don't glitch into bases and don't duplicate items. Report suspicious behaviour.
14. Persistence is enabled. Don't intentionally abuse persistence systems or server mechanics.
15. Meta-gaming and stream sniping are heavily discouraged. Play the game properly and keep immersion intact.

4. Safe zones

16. Safe zones are for resting, trading and regrouping, not for living in.
17. No ambushing, camping or following players out of a safe zone to kill them. Safe-zone camping may result in admin action or world bounties on your faction.
18. No stealing, no combat of any kind and no damaging other players' property inside a safe zone.
19. Don't park vehicles in a safe zone for more than 24 hours. Long-term parked vehicles are removed with no refund.

5. Bases, storage & building

20. One base per group or player.
21. Maximum 6 safes and 4 storage boxes per player (to prevent server lag and FPS drops).
22. You may set up a small garage on the coast for quick vehicle access.
23. Respawning at your base is limited to once every 60 minutes (to prevent RTB abuse).
24. Keep bases reasonable in size and complexity. Excessively large or lag-inducing builds will be reduced or removed.
25. Bases must be structurally realistic: no floating, sky or unrealistic builds.
26. Storage (safes, boxes, lockers, etc.) must be visible and raidable. Hiding storage inside terrain, rocks, walls or water is not allowed. Light concealment (bushes, behind objects) is fine.
27. Structures decay after prolonged inactivity. Refresh your base regularly.

6. Vehicles

28. Maximum 10 vehicles per player.
29. Vehicles left in the open are "in the wild" and can be taken, looted or destroyed.
30. Keep only a limited number of vehicles physically at your base. Store the rest with garage plans (found in T4 areas).
31. Vehicles are used at your own risk. No compensation for crashes, disconnects, lag, desync or driver error.

7. Raiding

32. Raiding is allowed and part of the game. Boosting teammates is permitted.
33. All standard raid methods (explosives, vehicles, etc.) are fair game unless specifically restricted.
34. Don't raid purely out of spite, and don't destroy a base unnecessarily once you've taken what you need.
35. Don't log out inside a base you're actively raiding, or with high-value loot during an active raid.
36. A raid ends when all raiders have left the area or are no longer alive on site.
37. During Raid Weekend you may raid a given base only once every 24 hours. Breaking this = 24-hour ban.
38. Serious conflicts get settled in-game, on the map, not with Discord drama.

8. Compensation

39. Compensation is only considered when gear or vehicles were lost to a confirmed server bug or crash, or another player clearly broke the rules.
40. Clear proof is required (video clip preferred: Medal, ShadowPlay, console capture, etc.). No proof = no compensation.
41. No compensation for scheduled restarts. Restart times are posted in Discord and in-game chat; log off before the warning to keep your position and vehicles.

9. Accounts & verification

42. New members must verify in ✅｜verification (quick Discord login) before they get access. Nobody is banned automatically; unusual accounts are reviewed by staff.
43. One Discord account per person. Alt accounts, and accounts linked to banned players, are not allowed and will be reviewed by staff.
44. VPNs, proxies and Tor are not allowed for verification. Turn it off and verify again. If you can't, open a ticket. Household and mobile-carrier shared IPs are fine and are judged case by case by staff.
45. Ban evasion with another account = permanent ban on all accounts involved.

By playing on Dead Country you agree to these rules. Staff may update them at any time; changes are announced in Discord.
