BANOV EXPERIMENTAL
The experimental development branch of Banov by KubeloLive.
Banov Experimental is the testing version of the original summer Banov map for DayZ.
This branch is used to test upcoming map changes, new locations, script improvements, gameplay systems, compatibility updates and other features before they are released to the main Banov Workshop version.
Banov is inspired by the landscape of Slovakia and offers a large 256 km² environment filled with towns, villages, forests, military areas, industrial locations, rivers, hidden places and extensive underground AREA facilities.

Experimental Build
This is NOT the stable version of Banov.
This version is under active development and may contain bugs, unfinished locations, temporary assets, experimental systems and features that can be changed or removed at any time.
Frequent updates may occur while testing is in progress.
Server owners should expect that mission files, scripts or configuration files may occasionally require changes after major Experimental updates.
Use Banov Experimental only if you want to participate in testing upcoming Banov features.
For the normal stable experience, use the main Banov Workshop version.
Explore Banov
Banov offers a large open world inspired by real Slovak landscapes.
Explore cities and villages, travel through dense forests, discover military and industrial locations, cross rivers and reservoirs, investigate abandoned areas and search for hidden locations scattered across the map.
Deep underground you can also discover the four major AREA complexes:
- AREA 01
- AREA 02
- AREA 03
- AREA 04
These locations are an important part of Banov and contain unique environments, secrets, dangers and valuable loot.
Experimental updates may introduce new content and changes to these locations before they appear in the stable version.
