# How to Configure Unlimited Stamina in DayZ

> Disable stamina limits on your DayZ server using native configuration files or community mods so players can sprint freely with heavy gear and weapons equipped.

## Fast-Paced Survival & Combat

While the native DayZ stamina system provides an immersive and realistic survival experience, many PVP-focused or high-loot communities prefer a more dynamic movement model. By implementing unlimited stamina, you allow your players to sprint indefinitely and eliminate the movement penalties associated with heavy combat gear and weighted backpacks. This significantly shifts the gameplay toward high-speed tactical engagement.

## The Native Technical Method

Since the introduction of the modern engine branches, you can manipulate stamina logic directly through your mission files without requiring external modifications.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Locate Mission Files">
    Navigate to your active mission directory (e.g., `/mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/`) using the [Game Panel](https://games.freakhosting.com) File Manager.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Modify Gameplay Logic">
    Open the `cfggameplay.json` file and locate the `StaminaData` object. Update the variables to eliminate decay and penalties:

    ```json theme={null}
    "StaminaData": {
        "sprintStaminaDecayErc": 0.0,
        "staminaWeightLimitThreshold": 10000.0,
        "staminaKgToStaminaPercentPenalty": 0.0
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate the Override">
    Open your `serverDZ.cfg` file and ensure the engine is instructed to use your custom gameplay file by setting:
    `enableCfgGameplayFile = 1;`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize Changes">
    **Restart** your server via the console tab to apply the new movement physics.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Alternative Mod-Based Solutions

If you prefer a standardized "plug-and-play" experience for your community, specialized mods are available on the Steam Workshop.

* **Implementation:** Install a reputable **Unlimited Stamina** mod. Ensure you add the `@ModName` to your server startup parameters and copy the associated `.bikey` into your root `/keys/` directory.
* **Advantage:** These mods often include additional social features, such as stylized stamina bars or integration with custom UI frameworks.
