    DayZ Admin Commands – Introduction

    While adventuring through a DayZ server, you and your friends will encounter different challenges. From the undead to other fellow players, you’ll need to fend them off to advance. During your fights for survival, it can often be difficult to gear up enough to stay alive which can lead to frustration. You can help this by using DayZ admin commands on your server!

    DayZ Admin commands - DayZ guide

    Admin commands in DayZ offer you the ability to take full control of your server and players. Whether you need to ban a rogue player off of your server or select a new mission for you and your friends. To use admin commands on your server, you only need your server’s admin password and a few seconds to type the commands on your server. In this guide, we’ll show you how to find that password, gain DayZ admin, and the commands you can use on your DayZ game server!

    Getting Started with DayZ Admin Commands

    How to Become a DayZ Admin on Your Server

    • Head to your DayZ server webinterface and stop your server.
