DayZ's next six months to bring vehicles, bases and more

4.7
Vehicles, camping, hunting, base building and an improved stamina system are in the works for Bohemia Interactive's survival game, DayZ. Creator Dean Hall recently took to Reddit for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, where he revealed the upcoming additions to the game.

The new features are expected to be available in-game sometime within the next six months. "Vehicles will be done based on the architecture we are doing for items/weapons now (i.e. attachments)," Hall wrote. "So it's in progress really. We are replacing the physics system for items (throwing, etc...) and this new middleware will be used for vehicles also."

For those less inclined to murder their fellow humans, Hall also teased more PvE content such as hunting, camping, and base-building. Bases, Hall noted, will take longer to achieve. Barricades are expected to be the first step toward their eventual full implementation.

Hall wrote on Twitter that there will be "experimental" patches for the game regularly, and that updates will be moved to stable status once per month.

grunt987654 I hope they fix the physics of the zombies and other players. Right now its as if nothing has "weight". Zombies hit you through walls and in close quarters, enemy players lag a bit. I know it's in alpha, I just hope they address these issues before they add anything else.


Well with time they are going to make a lot of thing balanced and the game stabile.

I agree, hopefully with the addition vehicles it will add a new flare to the game.

Tanya This standalone version sucks compaired to the Original ARMA 2 Mod!


Keep into consideration that the standalone is in the alpha stage.. it will get much better later in the development cycle.

These new updates for DayZ sound great. Can't wait for them to be implemented into the game.
