EVENT OBJECTIVE
‘True Colours’ is a DayZ team PVP event using in-game voip only. Players organically meet and form groups as they move around the map with no one knowing who is on their team when they start.
To win, you’ll need to survive and be the last team or individual standing after playing across different areas within Livonia. If you die, you are out.
Weapons are Vanilla but I have a custom loot spawn table tailored for this event so you will find more guns and in locations maybe you’re not expecting (Tundras, Blazes in Barns, VSS in Military areas for example).
EVENT DETAILS
COMING FEB 2020
6 teams of 8 players will be drawn randomly before the event and players will be informed which team colour they will be representing via a Discord DM. Players will not know who is on their team in advance. Please make sure you have joined the HappyBombs Community Discord prior to the event.
Players will spawn in at random locations along the coast as soon as the server opens shortly before the event begins.

Players must wear their team bag until the bitter end. Do not swap backpacks – you can carry another alternative backpack in your hands should you want but that is super risky. Maybe you could take it in turns to be the pack mule for the team and carry ammo and supplies!?
Players will not have prior knowledge of who is on their team and will have to find them as they make their way to the play areas.
DO NOT SWAP COLOURS DURING THE EVENT!
If an admin sees you have changed to another team’s colour, you will be disqualified. If your backpack gets ruined, do not take it off as you will not be able to wear it again.
If for some reason you take a ruined backpack off accidentally, type in game that you need admin help and they will come and assist you as soon as they can. Make the mistake twice and you’ll be disqualified.
IMPORTANT – DO NOT MOVE OR START LOOTING BEFORE THE EVENT OFFICIALLY BEGINS! WAIT FOR THE SERVER MESSAGE.
WHERE YOU NEED TO BE AND BY WHEN
Players should start to log in from 3.45pm GMT with the event starting at 4.00pm GMT. If you are outside of the UK, please check your time zones to ensure you are there on time! All loot, individual team backpacks and armbands will be automatically spawned on you once you join the server. Sit tight and wait for the event to begin.
I will need everyone to log in to the server prior to event day to make sure their backpacks and armbands are automatically assigned.
An event server password will be put into the Discord channel here at 3.45pm for the players taking part so you can make sure you have all the necessary mods loaded before it starts. It is advisable to be subscribed to the following mods on the DayZ Steam Workshop before event day so only potential updates are required to download:
- Airdrop-Upgraded
- CF
- HappyBombs True Colours
- DayZ-Expansion-Notifications
- BadgersBarriers
- Community-Online-Tools
- Navigation
A server message will inform all players when the event has started – please wait for this before starting your loot run.
Each event is split across specific play areas at 3 specific times:
5.30pm – 5.45pm GMT
TOWN TO BE DETERMINED
Pistols only (Smoke Grenades & Flash bangs permitted)
5.30pm – 5.45pm GMT
TOWN TO BE DETERMINED
Pistols only (Smoke Grenades & Flash bangs permitted)
6.45pm – 7pm GMT
TOWN TO BE DETERMINED
All weapons and grenades
8pm GMT – LAST TEAM STANDING
TOWN TO BE DETERMINED
All weapons and grenades
The routes have all been checked and there’s plenty of time to make it to both of the first zone locations within 90 mins.
You can loot wherever you want in between the above times and following the first pistol phase, all guns are allowed to be used so be careful leaving the town.
You may use any means necessary to deal with the zombies, just don’t kill any players before the first PVP phase starts.
ZONE MARKERS
Players need to be in the above play zones during those times. Look for the edges of the play areas as indicated by these orange poles below.
Admins will be checking that you are in these play areas and will ask you to move should you not be in the right place.
(NEW FEATURE)
TEAM BARRELS / AIRDROPS
Somewhere within the phase 1 town play zones there will be a crashed heli surrounded by team barrels. Once phase 1 begins, the barrels will contain an Airdrop Flare per team that can only be looted during that phase. Once the phase is over, the flares and barrels will be removed. Its up to the team if they choose to go for their flare or not.
Admins will be watching to make sure that players are not looting other teams barrels.
If you manage to loot your AirDrop Flare, you can call that in once phase 1 finishes. Once the flare is lit, a plane will will fly over your position, dropping a loot crate.
The crates have a chance of spawning high and mid tier guns, magazines, ammo, suppressors, clothing and consumables. Because its random, some will be better than others so it’s up to the team whether to risk the attention or not. It can take anything from 30 seconds to 2 minutes for the plane to reach you depending on your position on the map.
IMPORTANT – if you see in the in-game messages that an airdrop has been called in by another team, its advised that you wait a few minutes before calling yours in. During tests, the plane seems to get a little confused if more than one drop is called in at the same time.
If a team takes out another team/player and they find an unused flare, they can choose to take and use it.
REMEMBER – FLARES CAN ONLY BE LOOTED DURING PHASE 1 AND USED AFTER PHASE 1 FINISHES.
(NEW FEATURE)
BROWN BEARS
Be careful of forest areas as you could be confronted by DayZ’s newest foe – the Brown Bear. They can roam into towns also so be on your guard.
RULES OF PLAY
The first 90 mins of play before phase 1 starts has a no player kill rule.
Server messages will be displayed during the event giving players an update on how much time is left before the phases start – keep an eye on these. Unfortunately, these messages have white text so will be a little tricky to see on the snow. Nothing I can do about that I’m afraid as you can’t change the colour.
Groups will naturally start to form across the map when players bump into others with the same backpacks and armbands.
Players do not have to team up as they may want to loot and fight on their own but they will be safer in numbers.
Do not use a lockpick to contain players in a building. This could take teams out of the game and wouldn’t be in the spirit of things.
Do not use TeamSpeak, Discord, etc, for voice comms. In-game voice chat is the only thing permitted to make it more immersive.
Once you die, you will be required to leave the server. Well played, survivor.
THE END
When one player / team remains, a server message will declare the event over.
SPECTATE MODE
If HappyBombs dies, he will live spectate the rest of the event on his Twitch stream so make sure you tune in to see how the event concludes! Its really cool to watch it all unfold (examples below).
EVENT KILL FEED
A kill feed will be published here at some point after the event:

PLEASE NOTE: Admins and event cameramen may be in the play areas to help keep an eye on the proceedings. Admins will be wearing red camo and red berets with ADMIN written on the backs of their jackets. Cameramen will be all in black with no backpack or armband. Just ignore them and let them do their thing!
Event Admins: Micropitt2 & Shropshire

THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE EVENT
Before joining the server on the day, players should change their names to [COLOUR] [Twitch Name] in the DAYZSALAUNCHER settings – so for example: [RED] HappyBombs
This is important so we know who is who and so we can spectate the teams accurately.
Secondly, please have your GAME and ADMIN MESSAGES turned on so you can see event messages throughout the day. Turn off PLAYER MESSAGES.
And finally, as mentioned above – It is advisable to be subscribed to the following mods on the DayZ Steam Workshop before event day so only potential updates are required to download:
- Airdrop-Upgraded
- CF
- HappyBombs True Colours
- DayZ-Expansion-Notifications
- BadgersBarriers
- Community Online Tools
