Vanilla DayZ

The standard DayZ experience with weather changes suitable for a 4-hour restart cycle. Dynamic but generally not locked into one extreme state.

Temperate & Balanced

A pleasant and mild climate with frequent, gentle shifts. More sun than vanilla, with lighter rain and fog. A good "fair weather" setting that still feels alive.

Gloomy & Rainy

An oppressive atmosphere with almost constant overcast skies. Expect frequent rain and a high likelihood of dense, lingering fog. Sunshine is very rare.

Sunny & Dry

A near-perfect, arid climate. The sun will be out almost constantly with very few clouds. Rain, fog, and snow are completely disabled.

Harsh Winter

A cold, unforgiving winter. The sky is perpetually overcast, with frequent, heavy snowfall and strong winds. Rain is replaced by snow for a challenging experience.

Wild Weather

Completely unpredictable. One moment it's sunny, the next it's a downpour, which could turn into a blizzard. For a chaotic server where the weather is a constant surprise.

Dynamic Day

Designed for accelerated time. Weather changes are fast and frequent, ensuring players see multiple conditions in a single session. Perfect for 2-4 hour cycles.
