DayZ: Badlands

DayZ Badlands thrusts you into the sun-scorched wasteland of Nasdara province, where survival is a brutal struggle against the elements, infected horrors, and desperate factions. As one of the last survivors in this war-torn desert, every drop of water and bullet counts in your fight to endure.

Gameplay

Navigate the largest official DayZ map—a 267km² desert expanse filled with abandoned cities, military ruins, and treacherous terrain. Scavenge for scarce resources, adapt to extreme droughts, and engage in tense firefights with both infected and hostile players. Utilize region-specific weapons, gear, and survival tactics to outlast the harsh environment and rival factions.

Story

Nasdara is a land ravaged by endless proxy wars before the outbreak turned it into a lawless wasteland. Walk through crumbling Soviet bases, oil refineries, and Middle Eastern ruins, uncovering the scars of geopolitical strife. Now, with civilization in ruins, you must carve your own path—whether as a lone survivor, a ruthless bandit, or a leader rebuilding from the ashes.
