GhostEcho

Lore

After Livonia fell, a handful of survivors holed up in an old military listening post. They threw up barricades along the doors and got the long-range transmitter humming, desperate to reach anyone out there — anyone who could help.

But help wasn't what came. Raiders from the south, out near Nadbor, caught the signal and traced it straight to the gates. They hit hard, tore through the place, and left the southern wall in pieces. No one made it out. The raiders moved in, patched up the outpost using rusted shipping containers and sheets of metal, and made it their own fortress.

Then, just like that, they disappeared. No shots fired. No explosions. Not a word. Just silence. Now, the base sits empty, waiting for the next battle...

What Is GhostEcho?

GhostEcho is a custom DayZ event designed from the ground up for fun, chaos, and unforgettable moments. It's built around a King of the Hill format on a modified Livonia map, and it's what we call a streamer-forward event — meaning it's made to be exciting to watch and even better to stream.

Whether you're a seasoned survivor, a content creator, or someone who just loves DayZ at its most intense, GhostEcho is made for you.

How It Works

Players spawn on the north side of the map, near Gliniska or Brena, and must travel south to reach a heavily fortified military base. This base is the heart of the event — it's where teams will clash, regroup, and fight for control.

How Scoring Works

Every ~20 minutes, teams score 1 point per player who is within the walls of the base during scoring. The more teammates inside during scoring, the more points your squad earns. The team with the most points when the event ends wins.

Players must be within these walls to score.

Hold the base to win!

Strategy & Gear

You can rush straight to the base and try to hold it early — or gear up first at military locations for better weapons, armor, and explosives.

Loot Caches!

Easter Eggs

Hidden container keys are scattered near the base. These unlock special loot containers within the base, filled with powerful gear. Players can also expect supply caches, EOD loot caches, and HeatPackBandit-style easter eggs hidden throughout the map.
