Military zones
Expect organised resistance at the most valuable locations.
Hostile survivors and military bandits patrol the frozen ruins of Chernarus.

Every shot leaves a trace. Player and AI encounters from the running server arrive here as they happen.
The feed will update when the next event reaches Dead Winter.
01 — The world
The winter is here and the infected are gone—but Chernarus is far from safe.
Hostile survivors and military bandits patrol towns, roads and valuable locations. Major military areas are particularly dangerous. Other encounters are unpredictable, while the forests and countryside remain quiet and isolated.
Expect organised resistance at the most valuable locations.
Human patrols can turn an ordinary supply run into a fight.
Quieter and isolated—but exposure is a danger of its own.
02 — Survival
This server uses an advanced medical system. Even a small untreated cut can become infected and eventually turn septic.
Sleep is your best friend.
A sleeping bag will help you recover and rebuild blood. You won't start with one, you'll need to buy one at Green Mountain.
03 / Survival systems
Survival is shaped by what you carry, where you travel and how your character develops. These systems make preparation matter.
Weight, terrain, movement, temperature and sleep affect your endurance. Sprinting remains valuable, but it is no longer unlimited.
Powered by InediaStaminaSome locations require protective equipment, detection tools and medical preparation. The deeper you travel, the greater the exposure.
Powered by Terje RadiationDevelop abilities including medicine, immunity, athletics, strength, survival, hunting and fishing as your character gains experience.

The server traders are gathered at Green Mountain. Make the climb, trade your finds and prepare for what comes next.
A small welcome gift is waiting inside.
Field notes
Development notices and live server changes, all in one place.
A full RPT and Central Economy audit confirmed the server is performing extremely well. Green Mountain weapon stock and pricing have now been rebuilt around proper scarcity, while the heaviest WLC fog patterns have been reduced without changing rain, snow, wind or seasonal behaviour.
All updated files passed validation. Vehicles, clothing, medical supplies, building supplies, trader positions, P2P trading and persistence were left untouched.
Ready to survive?
Your progress matters. Persistence will only be wiped if a major update or technical failure makes it unavoidable. If that ever happens, players will receive advance notice whenever possible.
