Helix Zomboid

This is how you died

July 1993. Knox Country has been sealed off and the dead walk its streets. The broadcasts have gone quiet. The New Knox Administration has declared a state of emergency, and operators have been sent into the exclusion zone to establish order. Reports are travelling between survivors of CDC scientists setting up camp in search of a cure, a criminal syndicate taking hold and a black market forming. Sooner or later Washington will cut the power and water to the zone, and nobody is saying when. Pick a side, or play them against each other. Who you work for, what you trade and what you fight for will shape what Knox Country becomes.

Helix is built for long-term play. PvE spawn towns give new players a place to find their feet in the apocalypse, and expanded vanilla systems keep the game fresh. Survival journals keep your progress safe, and a digital currency drives the in-game economy and rewards trading.

Our mod list has been painstakingly optimised over months of testing, custom patches have been applied, and our hardware has been tuned to support these new systems. Our creative team is working on new contracts that progress the server's story and reward the players who help shape a living, breathing world.

Server rules

1. Be respectful to other players and follow staff instructions. Staff follow a common-sense approach, and their discretion is final.
2. Rosewood and Riverside are PvE; PvP is encouraged everywhere else. Be careful out there, not everyone is friendly. Claimed areas are always protected; items, construction, vehicles and animals not kept in a claim zone are fair game.
3. No obvious and intentional griefing of other players in PvE zones. PvP zones are dangerous, lawless places. Be prepared for the worst.
4. Only residential buildings are claimable by players. Non-approved claims will be revoked without notice.
5. One character and account per person. Exceptions may be made for players sharing a connection. Characters must be linked to a Discord account; non-linked characters may be wiped without notice.
6. Knowingly exploiting mods, gameplay systems, bugs, or duplicating items will result in a temporary or permanent ban at staff discretion. We log all item interaction and duplication is monitored.
7. Logging out while engaged in PvP combat is a bannable offence. Repeat offenders will receive a custom mark of shame.
8. Follow the Discord guidelines while communicating in public spaces; we are an adult gaming community. Advertising other servers or spamming the Discord may result in a temporary mute or a ban.
