I'm Bench, the creator of DayZ Nerd Squad and BenchBot.
DayZ Nerd Squad started from a simple belief: learning DayZ modding should be accessible to everyone.
When I first began exploring the technical side of DayZ, I realized that a lot of knowledge was difficult to find, scattered across countless resources, or simply overwhelming for newcomers. I wanted to create a place where people could ask questions, learn new skills, and build incredible projects without feeling intimidated.
I wanted to create a place where people could ask questions, learn new skills, and build incredible projects without feeling intimidated.
So I created DayZ Nerd Squad.
From day one, the goal has been straightforward: provide as much knowledge, assistance, and support as possible—for free.
Whether you're opening DayZ Editor for the first time, learning JSON, creating your first server, writing mods, or you're an experienced creator looking to refine your skills, there's a place for you here.
I believe knowledge grows when it's shared. The more people who understand how DayZ works, the stronger the community becomes. Better servers. Better creators. Better experiences for everyone.
DayZ Nerd Squad is more than a Discord server or a collection of tools. It's a community built around collaboration, education, and helping one another succeed. We encourage questions, celebrate learning, and believe everyone has something valuable to contribute.
None of us know everything, and that's what makes communities like this so valuable. Every question asked, every tutorial written, every problem solved, and every bit of knowledge shared helps move the DayZ community forward.
If you've learned something here, helped another member, or simply stopped by to ask a question, you've already become part of what DayZ Nerd Squad stands for.
Thank you for being here.
Let's build something worth sharing.
