AfterDawn

“The night ended — but the story didn’t.”

“Born in the light of what remains.”

PS4 & PS5 Console Server

This is AfterDawn

When the last fires burned out and silence fell, a new light broke through the ruins. Afterdawn is that fragile moment — when survivors look to the horizon and see not the end, but a beginning. The Awakened are those who chose to rise, rebuild, and reshape what comes next. This is not the old world reborn… it’s the new one finding its breath.

Console Optimized

PS4 & PS5

Built and optimized for a smooth, stable experience on PlayStation consoles. No PC required.

PVE / PVP Focus

Interaction Focused

This is not a hopeful RP server. It's PVE/PVP, but we still heavily encourage interactions. We provide the tools for conflict and cooperation.

Recruitment

Join The Awakened

We are always looking for mature, friendly, and active players to join our ranks. Whether you're a hardened veteran or new to the game, you'll find a home here.

Custom Chernarus

50 Slot Server

The classic map, reborn. We've added custom locations, POIs, and balanced the loot for a challenging but rewarding journey.

Active Leaders

Here to Help, Not Play

Our leadership team is active, engaged, and dedicated to the server's success. We maintain an open-door policy for all suggestions, feedback, and concerns.

Dynamic Events

Weekly Lore & Challenges

Engage in server-wide stories. From supply drops to bounty hunts and faction conflicts, the world is always evolving.

Loot Economy

Balanced & Rewarding

We've fine-tuned the loot tables to make survival challenging but fair. Finding high-tier gear feels like a real achievement, encouraging trade and conflict.

Player Stories

Forge Your Legend

Your actions matter. Start a faction, become a lone wanderer, a notorious bandit, or a helpful trader. The story of AfterDawn is written by its players.

The AfterDawn Accord

To build a new world, we must agree on its foundation. These rules protect the community and the story we're building together.

Community & Respect

Be Respectful: No racism, sexism, homophobia, or bigotry of any kind. We have zero tolerance.
No Griefing/Trolling: Don't intentionally ruin another player's experience. This includes spawn camping, mic spam, or stream sniping.
Value Your Life: This is an RP server. Act with self-preservation in mind. Don't be reckless without a story reason.
No KOS (Kill on Sight): Interaction is required before combat. A simple voice line ("Hands up," "Stop," etc.) is enough. If they run or aim, they are hostile.

Building & Raiding

Raiding Window: Base raiding is only permitted on weekends (Friday 6 PM EST to Sunday 10 PM EST).
No Glitching/Exploiting: You must not use game exploits to enter a base (e.g., wall glitching, ghosting).
Destruction: You may only destroy one gate to gain entry. Do not level a base just to be destructive. Take what you need and leave.
Base Building: Do not block high-value military loot spawns, police stations, or hospitals. Your base will be removed without warning.

This is a summary. All detailed rules and consequences are in the Discord.
