ZombieCooKie · DayZ PvE main server
Chernarus, buried by the sand
Sandgrave is ZombieCooKie’s main DayZ PvE server: Chernarus transformed by desert and jungle, with AI convoys, PvE operations, a custom dungeon and an extensive quest system. Explore and build together instead of fighting other players.

Sandgrave / Main server
Sandgrave does not simply tint Chernarus brown. Desert and jungle regions, custom locations, threats, missions and player systems turn the familiar map into a deep PvE world.
Desert Chernarus, jungle regions and extensive custom mapping reshape familiar routes and locations.
An extensive quest system, AI convoys, PvE operations, hordes and a custom dungeon keep expeditions unpredictable.
Build a base, buy a house, trade with players and develop production chains in a connected economy.
Move by road, boat or helicopter, then visit the casino or take a vehicle onto the racetrack.
