The Better Vanilla is a hardcore PvP DayZ server with a vanilla feel and slight improvements for a better experience. We use classic weapons, pre-1.26 clothing sizes, and a territory system where placing a flag grants 150m of build protection.

🔹 Base Raiding – Only possible through gates, not walls. Use breaching charges or traditional methods.
🔹 Custom Locations – Explore Tisy Toxic Bunker and Severograd Bunker for high-tier loot.
🔹 Expanded Scopes – More optics for better combat.
🔹 Grouping System – Team up, form squads, and strategize.
🔹 Frequent Events – PvP tournaments, loot hunts, and more.

Survive, build, and fight for dominance!

Custom Bunkers

🧱 Bunker System

Explore the depths and uncover powerful gear in our two unique bunkers:

🔹 Severograd Bunker
A standard underground bunker filled with valuable loot and hidden dangers. Accessible to all survivors willing to take the risk.

☣️ Tisy Toxic Bunker
Located deep within a contaminated zone, this bunker requires proper protection to enter. The danger is high — but so is the loot quality, making it the most rewarding bunker on the map.

💡 Bring gas masks, filters, and backup — the Tisy bunker is not for the unprepared.

Airdrops

Every 4 hours, a powerful Airdrop spawns somewhere on the map, delivering rare and high-tier loot for those brave enough to fight for it.

🪂 Spawn Locations

  • Krasnostav

  • Northwest Airfield (NWAF)

  • Tisy Military Base

⚠️ These drops are heavily contested, attracting both solo survivors and full squads. Come geared and ready — it's a high-risk, high-reward opportunity that can turn the tide of your journey.

🔥 Note: Airdrops will only activate when there are at least 20 players online.

King of the hill

Get ready to dominate the battlefield in our King of the Hill (KOTH) events!

A KOTH zone spawns every few hours at one of the following high-risk locations:

  • Krasnostav

  • Northwest Airfield (NWAF)

  • Stary Sobor Military

🕒 You'll have 30 minutes to reach the zone before it disappears. Once you're inside and activate the event, you'll need to hold your ground for 15 minutes to earn the reward.

💰 Only one KOTH is active at a time — fight off other survivors, secure the area, and claim your loot!

⚠️ These are PvP hotspots. Team up or go solo, but be ready for action.
