Community support helps fund hosting, maintenance, development, artwork, and new content. Playing on the server does not require a contribution. All players follow the same server rules.
A voluntary donation is a gift with no reward in return. Payments linked to the Supporter Gear Retexture Program or CSR Insurance Program provide benefits and are paid supporter purchases, not no-benefit donations under Bohemia Interactive’s rules.
The program provides tier-based customization for eligible gear. Higher tiers include the lower-tier rewards shown in the program poster. Staff do not spawn the base gear for this retexture program: players must obtain the eligible base item in-game, obtain a Custom Spray Can, and follow their private conversion instructions. Spray cans alone do not unlock supporter retextures.
$5 — Private: large and small custom FOG patches and a custom flag.
$15 — Private First Class: reinforced/armored FOG top and bottom retextures.
$25 — Corporal: FOG Armor Reduction helmet and vest retextures.
$35 — Sergeant: custom FOG pouches, belts, med kit, and holster.
$45 — Staff Sergeant: custom FOG backpack retexture.
$55 — Sergeant First Class: Secure Beta Container, as listed in the poster.
$65 — Master Sergeant: custom SNAFU gun textures.
$75 — First Sergeant: custom SNAFU suppressors, buttstocks, scopes, and weapon accessories.
$85 — Sergeant Major: custom EDO gun retextures.
$100 — Lieutenant: custom EDO suppressors, buttstocks, scopes, and weapon accessories.
$120 — Captain: custom BUCA gun retextures.
$130 — Major: custom BUCA suppressors, buttstocks, scopes, and weapon accessories.
Tiers last for the current season/quarter and reset at the scheduled quarterly wipe. Same-quarter upgrades cost the price difference. Personal designs require staff approval and technical compatibility. Original creators retain ownership of their assets.
Custom supporter gear cannot be sold to CSR traders. Normal looting is allowed; legitimate looters may keep and use gear but do not receive private customization instructions. Gear can be lost on death or taken by AI or other survivors. The retexture program does not automatically replace lost items. Private instructions must not be shared, and customization must not be used for mass production, resale, duplication, or exploitation.
The supplied insurance poster describes a paid emergency backup equipment program. It is separate from the retexture program and provides physical backup gear.
$5/month — Cosmetic Insurance: eligible custom non-armored reinforced clothing, FOG helmet and vest, backpack, and patches already unlocked and physically owned. The poster excludes armored clothing, weapons, weapon attachments, and magazines.
$10/month — Full Gear & Weapon Insurance: eligible custom clothing and armor, backpack and patches, one primary weapon, one secondary pistol, eligible attachments, and one magazine per insured weapon, subject to ownership and supporter-rank eligibility.
Staff must physically verify eligible equipment before issuing a backup; screenshots do not replace verification. Coverage starts from the individual coverage date. There is no retroactive coverage. One monthly period permits at most one backup loadout, and only one active emergency backup may be held. Unused benefits do not accumulate, and renewal does not automatically issue another kit. Using any part of the backup counts as use of that period’s benefit.
Insurance equipment is for replacing the owner’s eligible losses. It must not be sold, traded, given away, farmed, duplicated, or stockpiled. Additional accounts or characters cannot be used to bypass limits. The poster above contains the detailed eligibility and use rules.
This page documents the supplied programs; it does not establish Bohemia Interactive approval or endorsement. Paid cosmetic benefits require prior monetization approval and appropriate mod-author permissions. Benefits affecting gameplay are prohibited by Bohemia’s published rules.
Program review needed: paid backup equipment, particularly weapons and armor, appears to conflict with the prohibition on gameplay-affecting rewards. A paid Secure Beta Container also needs clarification about whether it provides an item or storage advantage rather than a cosmetic retexture alone. Calling these payments donations does not remove those concerns.
