Guide To Building Callouts In Chernarus

A guide to the most common names given to the buildings in Chernarus.

Introduction

The idea of creating this guide originated in our squad where everyone had different names for the same buildings and sometimes those names would overlap with other buildings. This could end up being confusing, therefore we've tried to give a proper name to each building while taking into account what people originally called these buildings, what they actually are and what makes sense. We hope this guide helps our new squad members and DayZ players in general. I recommend using the top entries, but for the sake of completeness other names have been added too. The buildings are sorted according to their principal loot spawn types.

Of course you might call any of these buildings differently, however this guide is simply a collection of the most common names given to these buildings, save for the ones that could cause confusion.

If anything is missing it's either because I've forgot to add it or because we, or DayZ players in general, didn't have a specific callout for that particular structure, probably because it simply wasn't necessary.
