Community Standards
HeatPackBandits Community Server Rules
These rules apply to all HeatPackBandits servers unless otherwise noted on a specific server's page.
General Conduct
- Respect others — No harassment, racism, sexism, hate speech, or toxic behavior. We're all here to have fun.
- Don't be a jerk — Play fair, keep the community friendly, and don't ruin the experience for others.
- Unique Names — Change your in-game name from "Survivor." Don't impersonate admins or other players. ▶ Watch how to rename your character
Stream Sniping
- No stream sniping or relaying stream info — If you watch a streamer and then share information from their stream to influence play on the same server, you will receive an irreversible ban. No warnings.
- No in-server action while watching — If you are on the same server as a streamer and take action using stream info, you will be permanently banned. No warnings.
- If you want to play with a streamer, ask first. Respect the streamer and the audience.
Cheating & Exploits
- No cheating — No hacks, scripts, macros, duping, glitching, or exploits.
- No restart abuse — Don't use restarts to dodge death, reset loot, or escape raids.
- No loot cycling — Don't move or pick up items just to force new spawns.
Combat & PvP
- PvP is always allowed — Anywhere, anytime.
- No combat logging — Wait 10 minutes after PvP before logging out. If you disconnect accidentally, rejoin ASAP and inform an admin.
- No login abuse — Don't log in/out for unfair advantages. Avoid logging out inside high-tier zones (bunkers, Tisy, barracks, airfields, etc.).
- Fair raiding — Don't grief by despawning loot or destroying bases/vehicles just to troll.
- No indirect base griefing (loot entry ban) — Players may set traps outside a base. However, if those traps cause occupants to die, flee, or open gates, entering the base interior to take loot during non-raid hours is prohibited. You may loot bodies outside the perimeter, but not enter the defended interior until raid hours.
- No equipment destruction inside bases — You may shoot players inside their base, but intentionally destroying storage containers, tents, or vehicles during non-raid hours is griefing and will result in penalties.
Raid Times
Raiding is ONLY allowed from Friday 4 PM CT → Sunday 12 AM CT. That's a 32-hour window giving defenders time to protect their base and attackers time to plan.
- Raiding does not equal griefing — Don't grief by despawning loot or destroying loot/vehicles just to spite.
- No watchtower climbing — Don't build towers or use vehicles to vault over another group's walls.
- No exploiting access — Entering a base interior during non-raid hours is raiding and will be penalized.
Bases & Storage
- One base per group — No exceptions. Extra bases will be deleted.
- Unprotected loot stashes are OK.
Base Limits — Building in a Pre-Built Base
- Max 5 gates/layers leading to all loot
- Max 2 watchtowers per base
- Max 10 fences total
- 1 stone fireplace
- Max 1 flagpole per group per server
Base Limits — Building a Standalone Base
- Max 5 gates/layers leading to all loot
- Max 4 watchtowers per base
- Max 30 fences total
- 1 stone fireplace
- Max 1 flagpole per group per server
Building Rules
- Don't block or build inside key areas (military, medical, police, castles, gas stations, pumps, or roads).
- Build realistically — No floating bases, stacked towers, or edge-of-map builds.
Garages & Vehicles
- One separate garage allowed (vehicles only, no loot).
- Max 3 vehicles per base — only one of each type.
Storage Limits
- Max 30 combined sea chests, crates, or barrels.
- One backup stash per base (no underwater or glitched stashes).
Admin & Server Management
- Admin decisions are final — Disputes belong in Discord, not in-game chat.
- Reports — Screenshots or video evidence required.
- Server wipes — Happen approximately every 2 months, with notice when possible.
Play fair, have fun, and help make our servers the best DayZ experience out there.
