DayZ Update 1.09

Bohemia Interactive is happy to announce that Game Update 1.09 has arrived on all platforms (08/09/2020). It brings a lot of bug-fixes and also interesting new stuff. The long-awaited Revolver is making its return! This very cool looking gun is chambered with six rounds of the strong .357 ammo within an internal rotating cylinder. In addition to this, we’re also adding one more brand new gun to DayZ - the Deagle. This beast of a pistol is available in silver and rare gold variants, features a nine .357 round magazine and fits the re-introduced pistol scope, to engage targets over longer distances.

Developers have also been working on some balancing of the durability of individual firearms, mainly aimed at lowering the durability gap between chambered and magazine based weapons. With this, we’ve also increased the durability of suppressors and removed the ability to repair weapons with duct tape along with their attachments. Keep an eye out and hold on to those weapon repair kits!

A new structure for base builders has been added - the flagpole. It aims to make base management easier by continuously refreshing the lifetime values of items and structures around. Meaning that you will no longer need to run fence by fence to keep them alive once you build and activate a flagpole in your base. Just keep an eye on how low the flag is, because its position defines how many refresh cycles remain. There are 27 flag variants; we hope you find your personal favorite.

Summit1g trolled with Christmas trees after DayZ rant

A few days ago Jaryd 'Summit1g' Lazar complained about the trees in DayZ, and the internet does what it does best: trolled him. Following his tree related rant, modders added an abundance of Christmas trees into the game, with the firs literally raining down on Summit1g's character while he took a mini streaming break.

Summit1g had once been a regular player on the DayZ scene, but until his very recent return, had spent several years away from the game. Upon his return, he immediately criticised the trees, tweeting "DayZ needs to remove 50% of their trees and 80% of the Christmas trees," doubling down on his criticism as people defended the forest's density and realism.

Some were unhappy that Summit1g immediately began suggesting changes in a game he had barely started playing again, especially as someone of this stature in the streaming scene is more likely to be listened to than the average schmuck.

DayZ Update 1.08

Bohemia Interactive has added a new hunting rifle: the "Sporter 22". The rifle uses .22 ammunition (added to the game via the 1.05 update last year), comes with various magazines, and has the ability to mount a hunting scope. And speaking of long-range engagements, the Sway and Hold Breath mechanics have been adjusted, which should make distance shooting a bit easier.

New base building improvements focus on the balance-of-destruction of various structures, such as fences, watchtowers, and tent objects, and the update also includes the addition of the Canopy Tent, Indoor Fireplace (oven), and Direct Cooking Slots (fireplace grill for meat). Additionally, the update comprises general gameplay tweaks, bug fixes, and UX improvements.

Finally, 1.08 will bring an updated Saint Roman Ski Resort, Biathlon shooting range, and a race track to the ChernarusPlus terrain.
