No pay-to-win
Hacksaw does not sell weapons, ammunition, vehicles, in-game cash, housing, discounts or any other gameplay-affecting advantage.
Monetisation & fair-play policy
Transparent support.
No gameplay advantage.
Hacksaw uses approved server monetisation to fund hosting, development and administration while preserving equal gameplay access.
Approved DayZ server monetiser
Hacksaw is listed on Bohemia Interactive's approved DayZ server monetisers page. Approval allows compliant monetisation. Hacksaw remains independently owned and operated and is not a Bohemia Interactive service.
Verify Hacksaw on the official listCosmetic scope
Paid benefits are restricted to cosmetic crafting access, cosmetic HS Tokens and non-gameplay conveniences such as priority queue.
Clear classification
Payments that include benefits are described as digital support purchases, not no-benefit donations.
Cosmetic virtual credit
Hacksaw Tokens
HS Tokens are server-bound virtual credits used only for eligible aesthetic crafting. They are not money, cannot be withdrawn, transferred or sold, and do not provide weapons, statistics or gameplay power.
- Support purchases award 100 HS Tokens per £1 paid.
- Tokens may also be obtained through in-game loot, events and community activities.
- Cosmetic crafting uses the standard in-game crafting system rather than a pay-only combat vendor.
- Token awards and redemptions are recorded against the verified player account.
Visual distinction only
Rank ID Cards and custom skins
Rank ID Cards unlock ranked reskin crafts. Ranked reskins are intended to alter appearance only and must not change armour, storage, damage, speed, durability, insulation, camouflage statistics or any other gameplay value.
- Each cumulative rank threshold unlocks its corresponding Rank ID Card.
- Previously unlocked cards remain available while the net Lifetime Support Total remains above their threshold.
- Personalised skin work is cosmetic and subject to technical, licensing and content approval.
- Hacksaw may correct or withdraw any item found to affect gameplay or breach monetisation rules.
Non-gameplay convenience
Priority queue access
Priority queue changes connection order only. It does not reserve loot, prevent death, alter server mechanics or provide an in-game advantage after joining.
Equal core gameplay
Community access
Playing Hacksaw does not require a support purchase. Core gameplay systems remain available to the community without payment, and relevant cosmetic content may also be made available through events, drops, giveaways or ordinary play.
Creator permissions
Third-party mods and content
Third-party content used in connection with monetisation must be covered by appropriate creator permission or licence terms. Hacksaw maintains internal records of permissions and removes content where the required permission cannot be verified.
