## Raids and wipes

- Base raiding is enabled Saturday 08:00 to Sunday 20:00. EU servers use Central European time (Europe/Berlin); NA and Xbox servers use US Central time (America/Chicago).
- Full wipe every 6 weeks on a Wednesday (season anchor: Wednesday 9 December 2026, then every 42 days). The first weekend after a wipe has no raids.
- Containers are never affected by the raid switch.

## Fair play

- A custom bot reads every server log live and keeps a full record of every hit (weapon, distance, body part).
- Boosting into bases and mass dupe relogging are detected and banned automatically, with evidence for staff.
- Alt accounts of banned players are flagged to the owners; bans apply on every BLACKOUT server within a minute.
- Live anti-cheat numbers (upheld bans per 7 days / season / all time by type, active and permanent bans; no names): https://blackoutdayz.pages.dev/api/stats
