Join Black Hawk on PS5

In DayZ, open Play, then the Community tab, and search for "Black Hawk". Check the map says Nasdara, then add it to your favourites so it is always one tap away. New restarts can take a minute or two to show in the list.

Yes. Black Hawk runs on Nasdara, the desert map from the DayZ Badlands expansion, so you need Badlands on your PlayStation account to join.

Black Hawk is a PlayStation community server, and PS4 and PS5 share the same DayZ servers. To play on Nasdara your console needs the DayZ Badlands expansion, so check it is available for your console on the PlayStation Store.

No. DayZ has no crossplay, so Black Hawk is for PlayStation players only.

Black Hawk is hosted on Nitrado in the UK, so UK and European players get the best ping. Players from anywhere are welcome.

PvP, with vanilla loot and a starter kit to get you off the coast. Bases can only be raided during the weekend raid windows on the rules page.

Yes. Factions are set up through the Black Hawk Discord, with their own role, colours and a shared faction bank. They fight over territory across Nasdara. Solo players are welcome, but the desert is kinder to a squad.

Faction dollars run through the Black Hawk Discord. You earn them in the field, check your balance in Discord and can pay into your faction bank. Faction balances show on the factions page.

Yes. Weekly, monthly and season rankings for kills, K/D, longest shot and survival time. Sign in with Discord to see full names; visitors who are not signed in see them partly hidden.

Only signed-in Black Hawk players see full PSN names. Everyone else, and search engines, see them partly hidden. Your dossier is only shared through your own private link, and you can switch that off or remove your link entirely in your settings.

Restarts run on a schedule with in-game warnings, and the next one is on the server status page. Wipes are announced in the Discord well ahead of time.
