DayZ Leaderboard Guide: Survivor Cards and Ribbons

The leaderboard ranks survivors across Chernarus, Livonia and Sakhal by AI kills, infected killed, hours survived and longest shot. Every name on it opens a survivor card: your stats, the medals you've earned this season, your rank, and your ribbons. Here's how all of it works.

What counts

AI kills come from the in-game kill feed, so they're counted from the start of each season.
Infected killed, hours survived and longest shot come from the servers' own stats. Longest shot is your longest AI kill, or a new personal best the server records.
PvP kills aren't ranked. Not now, not ever. Is Dead is about surviving, not hunting each other.
Play on any of our servers and you're tracked. Your numbers show up within about half an hour of logging off.
The board shows all three servers together, or one map at a time.

Seasons

A new season starts with each wipe. Season stats start from zero, so a new player has the same shot at the top as a veteran. All-time stats keep counting in the background, and you can switch between the two at the top of the board.

When a season ends, its final standings stay on the leaderboard for good. Pick it from the same switch (All time, Season 1, Season 2 and so on) to see who ran it.

Medals reset each season, but the ones you earned stay on your card under that season's name. Your rank and ribbons never reset.

Your survivor card

Tap any name on the leaderboard to open that survivor's card. To find yours, type your name in the search box.
The card shows this season's stats and ranks, your all-time numbers, the medals you've earned, what you're closest to next, your ribbons, and the medals from every season you've played.
Save card as image makes a picture you can post in Discord. On a phone it opens your share menu.
Copy link gives you a link that opens your card. It doesn't contain your Steam ID.

Season medals

Earned with this season's numbers only. Each type shows your best tier, so hitting 1,000 infected swaps Infected Slayer for Horde Breaker. Gold is about what the top survivors reach in a season. Diamond is beyond anything anyone has done so far.

silverPodiumTop 3 in any stat

goldChampion#1 in any stat

Season crowns go to the Top 10, the top 3 (Podium) and #1 (Champion) in any stat. They unlock 14 days into each season, so the wipe-day sprint doesn't decide everything. When a season ends, your final placing becomes stars on that season's ribbon.

Ranks

Your rank comes from your lifetime hours across all three servers, and it never resets. It sits in the top corner of your card with a bar showing how close you are to the next one.

Ribbons

Ribbons are your history on Is Dead. You earn them once and keep them forever. Tap or hover a ribbon on a card to see what it's for.

Season ribbonOne for every season you play. The center stripe is your best medal that season. A crown adds stars: 3 gold for Champion, 2 silver for Podium, 1 bronze for Top 10.

Exterminator5,000 / 15,000 / 30,000 infected killed, all time. The clasp goes bronze, silver, gold.

Bot Breaker1,000 / 2,500 / 5,000 AI killed, all time.

Season VeteranPlayed 2 / 4 / 6 seasons.

Long RangeLand an 800 m+ shot. Once is enough.

CartographerPlay Chernarus, Livonia and Sakhal.

VoterVote for our servers 10+ times in a month on Top-Games, with your in-game name (see the vote page). One star for each month in a row, up to 3. The stars turn silver at 3 months in a row and gold at 6.

Staff ribbons

The stats can't see everything, so staff hand most of these out, usually with a short note about what you got it for. Win something twice and the ribbon gets a number on it. There's no need to ask for these, but if you've supported Is Dead and your card doesn't have the Supporter ribbon yet, open a ticket.
