Survivors, 
It’s that spooky time of year, and we’re bringing a bit of Halloween spirit to DayZ! Halloween event returns for a limited time, running from October 29th to November 12th. 


October has been a busy month with a primary focus on the release of DayZ Frostline. With priorities shifting, we had limited capacity to expand the Halloween event, so this year’s festivities will be a bit more scaled back. Here’s what you can expect across the maps: 

• Livonia will feature the full Halloween experience, including decayed player characters, spooky zones, demon goats, seasonal infected, and fan-favorite seasonal loot like witch hoods, Day of the Dead eye masks, cauldrons, and more. 
• Sakhal will include select seasonal loot and some Halloween themed infected and animal, but not the full event. This is to preserve a fresh experience for new players exploring the Frostline DLC. 
• Chernarus will not feature Halloween events on official servers, though community servers can freely modify their maps. 

Feel free to hop between maps to collect seasonal items and check out the infographic below for more details. 

We hope this clarifies our plans, and we wish you a fantastic trick-or-treating season! 
On behalf of the DayZ Team,
