"DayZ" Receives A Brand New Patch Adding Gear And Fixes
Bohemia Interactive released a brand new patch into DayZ this week, adding a bunch of new content and fixing some bugs along the way. We have notes for you below as they were sent out with the announcement for the patch, along with some quotes from the companies involved. But basically, the 1.04 update will improve the game a bit and add in some new toys for your survival pleasure across all platforms.
This version of the game adds some major features that players have been asking for, the biggest of which is private servers for the console versions.
Allowing players the sort of reliability and control needed to help brave the wilds of Chernarus, private servers are being provided by Nitrado. "It's a privilege to be the exclusive provider of DayZ private servers for Xbox and PS4" said Nitrado CEO Marcel Boeßendoerfer "We look forward to reaching a new level in our long-time partnership with Bohemia Interactive."
Other Patch Features:
- New weapons, grenades and throwing mechanic
- Improved medical game play
- Fixed key issues such as duping, server hoping, frame-rate issues
One things players should note though as they head back into DayZ, is that a patch of this size did require a complete server and character wipe, so you'll have to get back out there and scrabble out a whole new life among the infected.
To coincide with this patch, the game will also be launching physically on Xbox One and PS4 with the support of Sold Out Games. 'We're so excited to be bringing the PS4 & Xbox One versions of DayZ to physical retail following its phenomenal success digitally," said Garry Williams CEO Sold Out. "Survival games don't get much more intense than this.".
