Vehicle Upgrading System[ | ]

Many of the vehicles in DayZ Epoch can be upgraded to increase their utility. When you upgrade a vehicle you will notice that the vehicle description will change by adding a "+" to the name. Each upgrade will add one extra "+" to the vehicle description. Ex. Old Jeep (Jeep before upgrades), Old Jeep+ (Jeep after one upgrade), Old Jeep++++ (fully upgraded Jeep).

If a player has all required materials (listed below) in their inventory, they can face the vehicle, open gear, and right-click the appropriate upgrade manual to perform the upgrade.

Upgrade vehicle

The upgrade manuals are obtained by examining Documents. Right-clicking a document in your inventory and selecting "examine document" will reveal the contents.

Examine document

Upgrades must be performed sequentially following the order of the documents indicated by roman numerals.

If a player is missing a required tool or material they will receive a message in system chat that lists the requirements.

Parts needed

The required materials can be obtained by looting buildings throughout the map or by purchasing the items at a trader city. Note: not all items may be available at the traders.
