Updates & server highlights

An independent H1Z1: Just Survive server — here's what makes it worth playing, and everything that's changed lately.

Clans

Group leaders can set a custom tag with /clantag — up to 4 characters, shown next to your name for everyone on the server to see.

Capture The Point

A recurring server-wide event. Hold the point when it closes and win extra casino rolls — solo, or as your group’s MVP.

Wandering Trader

A traveling merchant roams the map with limited stock, buyable with coins earned in-game. Find him before he moves on.

Boss & Elite Zombies

Random encounters range from tough Special Zombies to the BigZombie boss — hundreds of thousands of HP. Bring friends.

Virtual Casino

Coinflip, Dice, Mines, and slot machines like Wasteland Vault and Raider’s Airdrop — played entirely with virtual, in-game currency. No real money in or out, ever.

Heavy Weapons

Dynamite and the Rocket Launcher are both in the loot pool — raid a base or clear a horde with real firepower.
