Projektleiter Dean Hall hat für Anfang Februar einen neuen DayZ Standalone-Patch angekündigt, der neben Fehlerbehebungen zahlreiche Neuerungen mit sich bringt. Dazu gehören neue Waffen und Zombiearten.
DayZ-Spieler dürfen sich schon bald auf einige Neuerungen gefasst machen. Wie Projektleiter Dean Hall im offiziellen Forum angekündigt hat, wird zwischen dem 5. und 7. Februar ein neuer Patch erscheinen. Bereits jetzt ist dieser als Beta-Version verfügbar und kann über die Steam-Optionen aktiviert werden. Wie gewohnt werden zahlreiche Fehler ausgemerzt, doch auch Neuerungen finden ihren Weg in die Standalone-Version.
Dazu zählt das halbautomatische Gewehr SKS sowie eine Machete. Außerdem verursachen die Angriffe von Militärzombies in Zukunft mehr Schaden. Für mehr Waffen wird natürlich auch mehr Platz im Rucksack benötigt – aus diesem Grund dürfen sich Spieler mit dem Update auf einen neuen Rucksack freuen. Unfaire Spiele die Server häufig wechseln um besseres Loot zu finden, so genannte Server-Hopper, werden fortan bestraft müssen nach mehrmaligem Server-Wechsel einige Minuten in der Lobby warten.
Doch auch das Bewegungsrepertoire wird durch neue Gesten erweitert. Darüber hinaus können zerstörte Gegenstände ("ruined") nicht mehr länger benutzt werden. Findet ihr also fortan eine Konservendose mit der Bezeichnung 'ruined', so ist der Inhalt nicht mehr länger genießbar. Unterhalb dieser Meldung findet ihr sämtliche Patch-Notes. Wir teilen euch mit, sobald Bohemia Interactive den Patch offiziell veröffentlicht.
