The goal of DayZ is to stay alive and healthy during the conditions of the zombie outbreak that have befallen the in-game world. The player spawns in a random area usually near the coast, equipped with only simple clothes, a glow stick, a bandage, and a piece of fruit, and must begin exploring the large 225 km2 (87 sq mi) landscape of the fictional former Soviet Republic of Chernarus to investigate locations such as houses, barns, and apartments to scavenge supplies.[4][5][6] These supplies include food and water, which are vital to prolonging the player's life.[7][8] Beyond the basics of survival, players can find various forms of clothing, which allow customization, extra storage space for supplies, and warmth.[9] Also scattered around the map are a variety of weapons, allowing players to protect themselves from zombies, and other players if necessary. These are largely focused on a range of melee weapons, but a number of firearms are present, along with attachments such as suppressors and telescopic sights. The game features dynamic events such as randomly spawning train wrecks, police situations, military convoys and helicopter crashes that contain rare equipment and firearms that cannot be found elsewhere in the world. Additionally, random gas attacks can strike areas of Chernarus and Livonia at random intervals. Remaining in affected zones will afflict the player with a disease that causes constant bleeding, coughing up blood, and vomiting blood, resulting in unconsciousness and death unless they leave the zones and find suitable medical treatment.[10] The gas resulting from a random strike will last for 20-40 minutes before fully dissipating. Players may use an NBC suit and gas mask to prevent damage. There are two permanent contamination zones on the Chernarus and Livonia, each containing rare high tier equipment and firearms exclusive to permanent gas zones. Player interaction is a major part of DayZ gameplay. The game provides proximity voice chat and text chat. It also provides in-game gestures, such as waving, or putting hands up to indicate surrender.[11]
