What is DayZ: Badlands?
DayZ: Badlands is a paid expansion for DayZ built around Nasdara Province, a 267 km² arid open-world terrain and the largest official DayZ map. Players must survive infected, other survivors, scarce resources, harsh heat, drought, sandstorms, and long-distance travel across a war-damaged landscape.
DayZ: Badlands expands the core survival sandbox with rebuilding mechanics, motorcycles, radio and Morse-code gameplay, underground facilities, regional firearms and clothing, and wildlife including dogs, desert monitor lizards, and mouflons. Nasdara is designed around resource planning and environmental survival as much as combat.

Explore DayZ: Badlands Guides
Work through the collections that matter most on Nasdara: beginner survival, the map, water and heat, rebuilding, weapons, motorcycles, wildlife, and sandstorms.
DayZ: Badlands Beginner Survival Guide
Start with the survival loop that actually kills new survivors in Nasdara: thirst, direct sunlight, dust, and long walks between water. This beginner route covers your first-hour priorities on the desert map before you chase high-tier loot.
DayZ: Badlands Nasdara Map and Locations
Nasdara Province is the 267 km² desert terrain at the center of the expansion, and the largest official DayZ map so far. Learn how the terrain, biomes, points of interest, and its position west of Chernarus near Takistan change the way you travel.
DayZ: Badlands Water, Wells and Heat Survival
Water is the resource that decides how long a Nasdara run lasts. This collection covers the fillable water truck, the Water Dam, the underground water tunnel, repairable broken wells, and the cooling tactics that keep your stats out of the danger zone.
DayZ: Badlands Rebuilding and Base Building
Rebuilding inverts classic DayZ base building: instead of fencing off a ruin, you repair the ruin itself and turn it into a home. Learn what changes, which structures qualify, and how code locks and the classic building system still fit together.
DayZ: Badlands Weapons and Gear Guide
Track the firearms, clothing, and regional loot confirmed for Nasdara. The Luger P08, Lee-Enfield, MP-18, and SCR-17 all appear in the current roster, alongside region-specific clothing and military loot concentrated in bazaar gun shops.
DayZ: Badlands Motorcycles and Vehicles
After more than a decade of requests, two-wheelers reach official servers with Badlands. The Jana moped and the Enduro dirt bike arrive with new leaning physics, colour variants, and crash ragdoll behaviour that changes how you plan long loot runs.
DayZ: Badlands Wildlife and Animals
Nasdara ships with its own ecosystem rather than a recycled one. Mouflons, territorial dogs such as Dobermans and German Shepherds, and desert monitor lizards all change how you move through military zones and the Dasht-e Sarman Desert.
DayZ: Badlands Sandstorms and Weather
Sand becomes a threat on Nasdara, not scenery. Dev Blog 6 footage shows localized, moving sandstorms with new dust particles and sound cues, which means a storm is something you route around, resupply through, or wait out.
