Zu der Standalone-Version zu DayZ ist am heutigen Mittwoch das große Update 0.44 offiziell erschienen. Neben zahlreichen Fehlerbehebungen bringt das Update den lange erwarteten Bogen, die Armbrust, Ferngläser und weitere Inhalte mit sich.
Bereits seit einigen Wochen befand sich Update 0.44 zu DayZ Standalone in einer experimentellen Testphase, doch nun scheinen die gröbsten Fehler beseitigt worden zu sein, weshalb bereits am heutigen Mittwoch der offizielle Release des Updates stattgefunden hat. Wie den offiziellen Patch-Notes von Steam entnommen werden kann, bringt das Update einige interessante Neuerungen mit sich. Dazu zählen etwa der Bogen sowie die Armbrust – doch auch ein Fernglas findet seinen Weg in die Standalone-Version.
Wie im Vorfeld bereits angekündigt, wird innerhalb des Updates auch ein Physik-System implementiert, welches allerdings zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt noch nicht fehlerfrei funktioniert. Dafür dürfen sich DayZ-Spieler über das neue Dorf 'Marmanovka' sowie über neue Spawn-Gebiete freuen. Außerdem ermöglicht das Update das Zuschlagen mit einer Pfanne und einem Kochtopf. Steam lädt das rund 370 Megabyte große Update automatisch herunter.
