How Sakhal PvE works

NoRaid between players. The island — cold, AI, toxic zones — is the threat. This page has Sakhal numbers only.

The server

Sakhal PvE — 149.202.66.18:5004. News: Discord and updates. For weekend raiding, open how Chernarus works.

No player raids

There is no raid window on Sakhal. Other survivors cannot blow your doors. The flag is still weekly upkeep (every 3 days, lasts 20) — that is the claim, not a PvP calendar. Chernarus Friday–Monday does not apply here.

Flags and groups

• Plotpole: 70 m open map · 30 m inside PvE safezones.
• Flag spacing: 150 m from any other flag (allied or hostile).
• Maximum 2 flags per group.
• Raise at least every 3 days · lasts up to 20 days.
• Groups: 4 by default → 6 (50k) → 10 (125k). Detail: Sakhal groups.

Building (no player breach)

• CodeLocks go on gates, not tents. Only the owner can dismantle them. There is no CodeLock minigame.
• Placed walls do not decay on their own — you still have to keep the flag raised.
• The cement mixer cycle takes about 4 minutes.
• BBP “doors / hatches / gates only” is the Chernarus raid rule. On Sakhal, players are not coming through your door.

Underground bunkers

• Surface hatches must be at least 200 m apart.
• Keep the hatch 180 m from your flag (not Chernarus 85 m). If placement is blocked, the shovel is refunded.
• You can expand the bunker under your own claim.
• Hacking a hatch: no. Tablets do not open Sakhal hatches.
• Goal of the 180 m keep-away: no stacked “2 bases in 1”.

Raid Alert → Discord

The tower works the same as on Chernarus. Nobody is raiding the door — plant it if you want the ping for AI or curiosity:

• Triggers in a 50 m radius · then a 2 minute cooldown.
• In-game ping + Discord DM + siren (heard from about 500 m).
• Place the Base → attach the Sender with pliers (~10 s) → insert a battery (required).
• A screwdriver takes ~10 s to dismantle it cleanly; a crowbar takes ~40 s to destroy it.
• Will not fire if an authorised group member is already in the bubble.
• Link Discord on the website profile or the DM never arrives. Low battery and a destroyed tower also send a DM.

MMG storage

• Same furniture as Chernarus. Player raiding is off — locked storage is safe from other survivors.
• There is still a per-base limit. If placement is refused, you have hit it. Detail: Sakhal MMG.

DNA keycard rooms

Five Sakhal rooms. Coloured Keycard icons — not extractions. Bring the matching colour. A strongroom will not reset while a player is within 500 m; then it waits 90 minutes. World crate auto-reset is off. GPS list: Sakhal DNA.

Garage and vehicles

• You do not need the key to park — a fresh key is created when you take the vehicle out.
• Store and withdraw are free. Max 2 personal garage signs and 2 group signs.
• Ground vehicles keep cargo when you store. Air / personal garage signs do not.
• Car keys are craftable and boats can be locked. Picking car locks is off.
• Used vehicle ~15 days · untouched ~1 day.
• You can start the engine without the key in the ignition. Towing is on.

Airdrops, quests and AI

• Map marker + 3D marker on the drop: on (the crate type is hidden). Cargo is hidden while the parachute is out.
• Plane at 450 m. Crate: 15 items · infected can spawn within 50 m.
• NPC quests: daily reset 08:00 · weekly reset Wednesday 08:00 CET. No cap on active quests.
• AI patrols hit from about 300 m. You can recruit 1 friendly AI — not guards.

Printer, cooking, cannabis

• 3D printer: slightly smaller pool (10 categories, 201 recipes — raid / PC-mining categories off). DNA parts still print.
• Cooking (CookZ) is a real survival tool — see the Sakhal cooking guide.
• A joint lasts 6 minutes. Drying a plant takes 30 s. The workbench needs a battery.

Discord

• Join: discord.gg/jMQWn8pNnH — announcements, tickets, events. English in global chat.
• Starter kit: claim it with the Discord bot in the dedicated channel.
• Server news also shows on the updates page.
• Raid Alert still sends a personal Discord DM if the bubble is hit — Discord ID must be linked on your website profile.
• Linking Discord also unlocks the Supporter role and staff DMs about your purchases.
