FrozenPine: RedPine, Frozen Solid
FrozenPine takes everything we built for RedPine and drags it into the dead of winter. The familiar hills, coastlines, and tiny backroads of Chernarus are still here, but buried under snow and ice. Breath hangs in the air. Footsteps crunch. Campfires matter.
The land itself has shifted and frozen over. Treelines are dusted in white, fields are crusted with ice, and new structures still hide in the forest and fog. Permanent gas zones cut through the winter air and reshape old routes. Containers sit in dangerous frozen pockets of the map, waiting for someone bold enough — or desperate enough — to reach them.
Winter changes how you live. Food can freeze if you treat it like a normal Chernarus run. Wet clothing will chew through your body temperature. Fires, stoves, and heated interiors are no longer luxuries — they are the difference between a rough night and a final one.
FrozenPine is a true hardcore winter survival map. It rewards curiosity the same way RedPine does, but punishes carelessness even harder.
Quality of Life That Respects Vanilla — And the Cold
FrozenPine doesn't make DayZ easier. It makes it colder, harsher, and deeper.
- First-Person Only — Played entirely in first-person. Keeps firefights fair and makes trudging through blizzards feel genuinely claustrophobic.
- Earplugs — Boats and vehicles no longer punish your hearing. Long, freezing trips feel right instead of miserable.
- Inkpens & Notes — Leave warnings like "don't cross here in a storm," stash markers, journals, or messages. These scraps of paper become part of the world's story.
- 6-Digit CodeLocks — Faster and safer base access. Less time standing in the snow at a gate.
- Temperature-Aware Survival — Soaked clothing, wind, and bad decisions will chew through your body temperature. Food can freeze if you ignore it.
- DogTags: Your Life, Your Story — Every life on FrozenPine grows over time and your dogtag grows with it:
- 0–12 hours → Silver
- 12–36 hours → Granite
- 36–64 hours → Cobalt
- 64h+ → ???
A Busier, Snowbound, More Lived-In Chernarus
These are world changes you can see, explore, and get lost in — now with frozen roads, icy fields, and visibility that can turn from clear to whiteout in seconds.
- Permanent Gas Zones — High-risk pockets of military activity that cut through the winter air. Bring NBC gear or you won't make it far inside.
- Hidden Clusters of New Buildings — Extra structures tucked into the snowy landscape, rewarding explorers who step off the main frozen roads.
- Dynamic Locked Containers in Gas Zones — Color-coded shipping containers hidden inside frozen gas pockets. Keys from late-game military areas open them.
- Marked Chernarus Map — Rare weathered maps with hand-drawn circles, trails, and warnings. Some markings hint at hidden winter shelters and routes that stay usable when the snow piles up.
Organic Roleplay in a Frozen World
Roleplay on FrozenPine is not forced. It happens because the world gives players space to create it. No scripts, no predetermined characters, no required storylines. Just a cold, reactive world where a campfire, a snowstorm, and a single radio call can turn strangers into allies or enemies.
A voice on the radio. A note on a table in a half-frozen hunting cabin. A dogtag on a fallen survivor buried in the snow. These small details invite players to team up, trade, warn, deceive, rescue, or simply talk while the wind howls outside.
Roleplay Tools
Inkpens & Survivor Notes — Inkpens let survivors write journals, warnings, trade offers, jokes, or messages for strangers. A note tucked into a stash or stuck to a door in a frozen town can spark a story all on its own.
Survivor Dogtags — Dogtags track how long a survivor lasted. Finding one in a field, on a body buried in snow, or deep in the woods adds weight to every encounter.
Long-Life Radio Batteries — FrozenPine increases the lifespan of 9V and car batteries so handheld radios and field transceivers run for hours instead of minutes. Getting stuck in a storm without a voice on the other end can be a death sentence.
The People Still Out There
Winter didn't clear Chernarus. It just made the people who survived meaner and more careful. On FrozenPine, the AI is tuned for it. The result feels less like AI on a map and more like the world remembering what came before you.
- Drifters & Scavengers — Starting as fragile coastal wanderers, they slowly advance inland, picking through frozen towns and half-buried wrecks.
- Left-Behind Military Squads — Disciplined teams patrolling snow-covered bases, airfields, and key routes. They move intelligently and punish careless mistakes.
- Remaining Local Law Enforcement — Once protectors, now quick to react. They will not hesitate if you walk into their line of sight, even if you are shaking from the cold.
- Eastern & Western Detachments — Soldiers deployed on helicopters don't vanish when a bird goes down in the snow. They secure the crash and fan out.
- Bandit Camps — Outlaws who build temporary hideouts deep in the forests, then tear them down and relocate when the cold makes a camp too risky to hold.
🔴🟠🟡🔵 Dynamic Locked Containers
Hidden inside the permanent gas zones, behind left-behind military squads and walls of poison air, sit FrozenPine's most dangerous rewards. These containers require color-coded keys scavenged from Tier 4 military sites.
- Top-tier rifles — LAR, SVAL, AurAX
- M4 variants — including rare black and green versions
- VSDs — including the exclusive wooden-buttstock Sakhal VSD
- High-end armor — black and green plate carriers, pouches, and holsters
- Rare extras — long-range optics, ammo boxes, and military gear with minimal presence elsewhere
Claimable Bases: A Warm Home in the Wilderness
Across winter Chernarus you will find dozens of handcrafted bases — abandoned compounds, outposts, farmsteads, and hidden strongholds waiting for someone to rebuild them.
- Watchtowers — Overlook your perimeter and scout distant movement across the snow
- PA Systems — Broadcast messages to anyone nearby
- 3-Car Garages — Secure multiple vehicles with room for parts and tools
- Fireplaces — Two spaces for warmth, cooking, drying gear, and sheltering from storms
- Hidden Storage — Interior nooks perfect for stashing important gear
Claiming one is simple. Place a gate with a CodeLock and raise a flag. The moment the flagpole stands, the territory becomes yours — a rare pocket of safety and warmth in a cold world.
Raid Day: 32 Hours of High-Stakes Survival
Once a week, the walls of Chernarus stop being safe. Raid Day is a thirty-two hour window where base parts can be damaged, defenses breached, and the bold can take their shot at glory — all while watching the weather and the clock.
The event begins every Friday at 4:00 PM Central and runs until midnight on Saturday.
Raiding on FrozenPine is never simple. Other squads might be watching the same base you are, waiting for someone to make the first move. A raid can turn into a three-way ambush, a tense standoff in the snow, or a chaotic firefight where plans fall apart fast.
Restarts & Day/Night Cycle
FrozenPine runs on a four-hour restart cycle tuned to the rhythm of survival and the winter light. This rhythm creates a balanced mix of exploration, tension, and survival no matter when you join.
Server Wipe Schedule
FrozenPine wipes approximately every two months. Each wipe resets the economy, the people still out there, and base claims so both new and returning survivors begin on even ground.
Community & Events
FrozenPine is more than a server. It is a community built by players who explore together, trade, help strangers, and spark encounters that become stories shared for weeks.
We host large seasonal events like Ashfall and GhostEcho, where teams compete in high-stakes king-of-the-hill battles. We fold what we learn there back into how we design our survival maps.
