Hello survivors! We kicked off the new year with the release of Game Update 1.11. While the update might not be packed with new features and content, it did allow us to focus on our backlog of issues and provided us with enough space to prepare this year’s schedule. As mentioned in our previous DayZ in 2020 article, we are committed to supporting DayZ through 2021 by releasing regular game updates, just like we did in 2020. Support will come in the form of new content, features, balancing, and continual bug fixing. This article will outline part of our focus for this year. One thing we’ll continue introducing to the game is new firearms. Unlike previous years, we intend to mix things up more by introducing weapons which weren’t present in the legacy version of DayZ. You can already see evidence of this with the brand new SVAL rifle, which we introduced in the last game update. Another area of focus that’s important for us this year is balancing the damage system. For example, we intend to look at how we can improve melee (mainly against infected), including a more consistent way of landing stealth kills (rewarding players for a stealth approach). We would also like to look into differentiating more individual firearms, as well as increasing the chances of PVP encounters ending in an unconscious state (rather than instant death). Along with our efforts to improve melee with the infected will be a larger focus on Infected AI reactions to their surroundings. This includes balancing existing noise sources and adding new ones (such as light or doors opening). We’d also like to experiment with some new capabilities for the Infected AI. To spice up your adventures, we’ve begun looking into introducing a new type of environmental threat to both of our maps. We intend to improve feedback to players on the state of their character. This could include various states like bleeding, hunger, thirst and more through post-process sounds, effects or particles. Also being considered is further iteration of the in-game respawn menu. We want to focus more on seasonal events, mainly by introducing additional events throughout the year, as well as enriching the events themselves (mostly through new in-game assets). Last, but certainly not least, we will continue to support our creative community (i.e. modders and server owners). Our plan is to release four more game updates this year. And in an effort to breathe fresh air into the official hive, we’ve also decided to incorporate semi-regular wipes of character and server persistence files (bases, vehicles, etc.). We won’t be doing these wipes with every update, but we do want to make sure there’s an ending (and a new beginning) every 3-4 months. We already started with Game Update 1.11 and we expect to do two more this year. While these wipes will always be synchronized with game updates, the reasons are purely balance-related and not of a technical nature. We remain committed to providing backward compatibility between updates, so none of these wipes will be forced on community-run servers. Rest assured that all wipes will always be announced a few weeks ahead of schedule. During that time, we might spice things up a bit on the official hive, like we did with 1.11 and the increased occurrence of helicopter crash sites. In order to achieve all of the above (and more), we're continuing to expand our development team. If you happen to be interested, or know someone who is, check out our website for available positions. On behalf of the DayZ team, Adam

Dear Survivors, couple of our servers might be temporarly unavailable due to maintanance. Date: 3.8.2021 between 9:30 CEST - 13:30 CEST The downtime of each server will be approx. 15 minutes during that 4h window. List of affected servers: PC PS4: Xbox Thank you for understanding.

Dear Survivors, July has been nothing short of a busy and productive month! We released the much anticipated 1.13 update that introduced the first ever firearm with burst fire mode (the M16-A2), as well as new types of infected. Likewise, the community has been firing out great content and projects, which were made with the wildly infectious passion that can only be found in the DayZ community. Read the full article here.

Hello survivors! We kicked off the summer by entering into the experimental phase with Update 1.13. As mentioned in a previous article at the start of the year, Update 1.13 will come with fresh Loot spawns on Official. That means we’ll be conducting wipes of both character and server persistence files (bases, vehicles, etc.). Read the full article here.

Hello Survivors, It's been a while since we last made a proper blog post for the state of DayZ. Thus, I would like to give you a brief summary of the development of DayZ that happened this year. DayZ in 2020 The core work for our team in 2020 was founded on four major updates to support the game and expand on its content. We are happy to see that, although this year presented us with significant challenges due to the pandemic, all updates except one could be released within our schedule. They featured new and returned weapons, the M3S truck, and features such as the cold survival, broken legs, or the rework of the fireplaces. DayZ 2020 in content 5 new/returned weapons Returned broken legs Returned the M3S truck Massive upgrade to the cooking and cold survival Upgrades to Chernarus New base building flags for easier base persistence Continued modding support While 2019 was a year of releases for Xbox, PlayStation, and our Livonia DLC, 2020 was aimed at providing new content for you, as well as stabilizing the game, and giving meaning to survival features. Basic balancing elements of DayZ like cold and hunger finally got their deserved attention, to make the game tough, but still fair and encouraging towards new players. We continue to empower modders and server owners to the best of our possibilities, to allow them to create and shape their own worlds and adventures in them. Modders have had time to get to know the tricks of DayZ Modding, and we have been seeing major additions to the Workshop, with our very own Adam Francu releasing his anticipated Namalsk mod to the public earlier this month. DayZ 2020 in numbers Major Updates: 4 (1.07-1.10) Top peak of concurrent players on PC: 40,545 in February (highest since Feb 2014) Top monthly average of concurrent players on PC: 20,700 over the last 30 days (highest since Feb 2014) from January to November, DayZ saw 4.1 Million new users, with Xbox leading with 2.5M Top viewers on Twitch: 107,352 in August (all-time record) BattlEye bans: 24,000 and counting (in comparison to only 10,000 over the previous 4 years combined) 9,000+ mods created by players DayZ 2020 Year in Review video The Journey continues - DayZ in 2021 2021 is coming in hot, and we want to be ready. A roadmap for the new year is being finalized, and we are looking to expand our team. We are just beginning to check out the next-gen consoles' hardware, which will hopefully allow us to overcome some of the major frame-drops that console players have been fighting with since our initial releases there. With support from new additions to our team, we hope to resolve our ongoing weaknesses regarding some of the synchronization issues and physics-related problems with vehicles. We are ready to explore the depth of what DayZ can become when it fully unfolds its potential. Stay tuned for early 2021, when we will share more about our plans for the new year. The DayZ Team wishes you Happy Holidays

Hey Survivors, Nitrado servers are currently not available. They are working on the fix. Thank you for your understanding. The servers are coming back online!

That page is being regularly updated. The response is very much like "those are frequently asked questions, please check that page". I am sorry you feel that way.

Its a survival game and finding the friend is part of the experience. You can use the iZurvive map for finding the friend faster. Hi, its scheduled for a fix. ( I can actually see it being scheduled in the dev stage) 🙂 Happy you like it! Have you guys created a ticket for it? I didnt see anything like that reported so far. I will check within the team.

We actually implemented most of the feedback given during the Experimental phase. I noticed a lot of feedback regarding the axe and forwarded it to the devs. The current state regarding the melee fights is what actually players asked for but we will monitor it and tweak it if needed.
