A lot of new players have asked about the function and reason of the debug zone. I have been there a few times (moving freely), Mostly because of a glitch or idiot hackers warping me there.
It is advised to not try and find these places as people do get kicked or banned (from the server or if reported, the entire game by battleye).There are three debug zones in Chernarus, One is in the ocean, One is in the forest to the north and the other is to the east in the plains. All of them are outside of the map but it doesn't stop people from stumbling on it since the game has no boarders.
Unlike games like world of Warcraft, where your character is slotted to only one server in Arma 2 your character can go to server to server. When you load in the game, you can some times see an empty field, an ocean or a forrest and you may see some green triangles before spawning in your last location.
In the debug zone is where the server places you until it finds the coordinates where you originally were and the gear that you are carrying.
What you see is all players right next to each other, holding weapons and looking like a bunch of NPCs (none Playable characters) but i assure you, they are all players.
Question: Where is the debug zone spawn areas?
Answer: Sorry, I am not giving the coordinates or the map location to avoid trolls going over there, You can find it by googling it if you are that desperate.
Question: What happens if i kill those players?
Answer: You get their sweet loot but you also most likely get banned from the server or the game it self.
Question: What if i was killed while loading into the game?
Answer: Report the server, DayZ/Battleye will check the logs and ban the player. Sadly you will not get your stuff back.
Question: Can I steal stuff from their backpacks?
Answer: Sadly yes, I remember logging in once and having my blood packs stolen. I couldn't figure it out at first until one of the admin was cussing at some kid and then banned a player for stealing in the debug spawn area.
Question: Can they see me?
Answer: Only for a split second between loading screens.
Question: Can they hear me?
Answer: Yes, They can hear your gun fire while loading in the game and they can hear you moving.
Question: In one of your other blogs, you mention about swimming in water will make you lose items.
Answer: That is true but in Debug Ocean you are not meant to lose any gear but i have heard complaints of gear vanishing when loading in.
Question: What if I am bugged and spawned at the debug spawn area.
Answer: Well if you are in the water, you are screwed. if you are in the debug forest or plains then I hope you have either a compass or a map. Debug plains (just pure grass) head west. Forest (I believe south west).
Question: What happens if I just keep going off the map.
Answer: Map just keeps generating.
Question: Apart from players, what else is there?
Answer: Birds, sky, floor and well animals.
This is the video I was looking for about going off the map.
