How Chernarus PvP works

First-person only, weekend raiding, 1PP coast-to-Tisy. This page has Chernarus numbers only — Sakhal is a different server.

The server

Chernarus PvP — 149.202.66.18:3002 — first-person only. News: Discord and updates. For the winter island, open how Sakhal works.

Raid window — a calendar, not the flag

Bases can be raided Friday 21:00 → Monday 01:00 CET. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the walls are safe. Thursday is not a raid day. Raising the flag is a different system (every 3 days, lasts 20) — it does not start the weekend. Full playbook: raid weekend.

Flags and groups

• Plotpole radius: 70 m.
• Flag spacing: 800 m from allied groups · 250 m from a hostile flag.
• Maximum 2 flags per group.
• Raise at least every 3 days · lasts up to 20 days.
• Groups: 3 by default → 4 (50k) → 5 (75k) → 6 (100k). Detail: Chernarus groups.

How a raid works

• Only doors, hatches and gates can be blown. Walls and windows cannot. Fully blocking every entrance is against the rules — the base must stay raidable.
• Time by building tier: 5 / 10 / 20 minutes.
• Your placed walls do not decay on their own — you still have to keep the flag raised.
• CodeLocks go on gates, not tents. Only the owner can dismantle them. There is no CodeLock minigame: use the raid tools.
• Locked MMG: mmg_raid_driver for 5 minutes, only in this window. Your CodeLock stays on the container afterwards.
• The cement mixer cycle takes about 4 minutes.

Underground bunkers

• Surface hatches must be at least 200 m apart.
• Keep the hatch 85 m from your flag. Goal: no un-raidable “2 bases in 1”. If placement is blocked, the shovel is refunded.
• You can expand the bunker under your own claim.
• Hacking a hatch: yes, raid window only, tablet range 15 m.

Raid Alert → Discord

Build an alert tower so you know when someone hits your base:

• 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

• Locked MMG pieces are opened with the mmg_raid_driver in 5 minutes, only during the raid window. Your CodeLock stays on the container afterwards.
• There is a per-base limit. If the server refuses placement, you have hit it — prioritise large lockables. Detail: Chernarus MMG.

DNA keycard rooms

Five Chernarus 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: Chernarus 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.
• Vehicle cargo is not saved when you store.
• Car keys are craftable and boats can be locked. Pick a car lock: 40% in 60 s (tool 50% damage).
• Used vehicle ~15 days · untouched ~5 days.
• 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. Max 3 at once.
• AI patrols hit from about 300 m. You can recruit 1 friendly AI — not guards.

Printer and cannabis

• 3D printer: full recipe list, including raid and PC-mining parts (12 categories, 218 recipes). DNA parts sit in the shared pool.
• 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 sends a personal Discord DM when your 50 m 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.
