DayZ Gets Patch 1.08 With New Locations
New update for DayZ adds a ski resort and shooting range to the game, as well as another rifle and several other items. The creators have also introduced changes in the game mechanics.
IN A NUTSHELL:
- The new patch for DayZ adds a ski resort and shooting range to the map;
- The patch also introduces a new weapon and a number of other items;
- The update modifies the system for shooting and destroying objects.
DayZ received patch 1.08, which introduced a number of novelties. The Saint Roman Ski Resort and shooting range appeared on the map. We also received a new weapon - the Sporter 22 rifle, which can be equipped with a scope, making it ideal for eliminating distant targets - and several other items such as a lighter, a frying pan, another type of tent or a stove.
Developers have also modified the shooting mechanics (more specifically, holding breath in order to limit the movement of the weapon while aiming), as well as the destruction system - for example, we can destroy tents so that they cannot be used as an indestructible blockade. At the same time, the destruction of various objects requires more effort than before.
A full list of changes can be found here. Below we will also find a short teaser presenting the new features.
