How to join BUNKER 13

Joining BUNKER 13 takes a couple of minutes. You need DayZ on Steam and a launcher: the official DayZ Launcher or DZSA Launcher. The launcher downloads the mods on your first connect, 24 of them and over 5 GB in total, so the first join takes longer than usual. Below: how to connect, what to do in your first half hour, and what to do if the server will not let you in.

Connect via SteamDZSA Launcher

Works on a PC with Steam and DayZ installed: the DayZ Launcher opens with our server preset, just hit Play. Missing mods get subscribed and downloaded automatically. The DZSA button opens the launcher site, search for BUNKER 13 inside it.

01

Via DayZ Launcher

Start DayZ from Steam and the official launcher opens. In the servers tab open the Community servers and type BUNKER 13 into search. When you connect, the launcher shows which mods are missing and subscribes you to them in Steam Workshop. Wait for Steam to download them, then connect.

02

Direct connect by IP

If search does not find the server, connect directly. The DayZ launcher has Direct Connect: IP 194.147.90.244, port 2302. The port is required. Same fix if your favourites still hold an old address.

03

Via DZSA Launcher

BUNKER 13 is also listed in DZSA Launcher. Search for it by name and connect: the launcher subscribes to the missing mods and downloads them by itself.

Which mods download

20 mods, about 7 GB together. The heaviest: the Harald's Armory weapon pack (2.3 GB), MMG military gear (1.1 GB), our BUNKER 13 mod (1 GB: cars, music and toxic zombies inside), Windstride's civilian clothing (0.9 GB) and the RM base pack (0.7 GB). Nothing to install by hand: the launcher subscribes you in the Steam Workshop, and Steam downloads and updates the mods itself.

Your first half hour

  • ›You start with 50 marks in cash. Bunker marks are the server currency: notes of 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100.
  • ›Treasury 13 stands on top of Green Mountain, north-east of Zelenogorsk, map marker «Kazna 13». The trader is there: walk up to the keeper and press F.
  • ›Four ATMs stand at the Treasury. Put your cash on your account: it is tied to Steam and survives death, restart and wipe, while cash stays on your body.
  • ›The Treasury has a safe zone around it: damage is off, but nobody guards items on the ground or in cars.
  • ›The newcomer voucher adds 100 marks: 50 on your first join and 50 after an hour of play. Redeem it on the site with a Steam sign-in.
  • ›Groups of up to five are set up in the Expansion book. The game will not accept a sixth.
  • ›Z switches chat between Global and Nearby. Mechanics tips are on the loading screen.

The server will not let me in

  • ×An error that a PBO «is not part of the server», or a kick after an update: update the server mods in the launcher or resubscribe in Steam Workshop to BUNKER 13, B13 Code Lock and B13 Palisade.
  • ×Still failing: restart Steam and the launcher, then Repair the mod in the mod list.
  • ×Server not found or an old address in favourites: connect directly by IP and port.
  • ×The first join is slow, that is normal: the launcher is downloading mods.
  • ×Then open a ticket in Discord: your in-game name, what happened and when. The Radio Operator always answers.

Discord and the «In game» role

The server has one Discord: news, rules, tickets, the morgue and the events calendar. Link it to Steam in your cabinet on the site: Settings, Discord, «Get code», then type /link CODE in any Discord channel. The code lives 15 minutes. While you are on the server, your name glows green in the «In game» group.
