    DayZ Admin Commands – Guide

    DayZ Admin Commands – Guide

    While hosting your own DayZ server, you might need to use commands to perform various tasks or actions. Whether you need to kick a player or send a global message, knowing how to execute commands is an important part of being a server owner. You first need to become an admin, which enables your account to run these tasks. With DayZ admin commands, you take control of your own server!
     
    In this Nitrado guide, we’ll be showing you how to become an admin on your DayZ server and the various commands that you can use in-game. We’ll also be covering RCON commands, which are used in your remote console. We’ll showcase the full list of DayZ admin commands to get you started – but keep in mind that these only work for PC.
