Channels

Various communications channels are available within DayZ. Note that whether or not these are actually enabled depends on the current server’s settings.

Direct communication channel

Whatever is written in this channel is displayed to all players in the direct vicinity of your location (specifically in a 150m radius)[1]. Therefore, this channel is especially useful to communicate your intentions (e.g. by yelling “Get down on the ground you dumb fuck!”) to players you have just spotted.

Side channel

This channel acts as a broadcast to all players [2]. It is disabled on many servers to prevent spam. In case it is enabled, only use VOIP communication in this channel, it is great company for other players and will make them feel awesome. Be sure to play adventurous or inspiring music constantly.

Group channel

This channel allows every player within your group to hear you. [2]

Vehicle Channel
