I was just thinking about is there official statement for DayZ achievements and trading cards coming with Beta state or after releasing from early acces program.

"Steam Community Integration" has been mentioned as part of several past road maps, and 2014's mentioned achievements specifically. The older that information gets however, it becomes less relevant and less useful as a gauge of development progress. That being said, I'll copy below what I said recently on Reddit about this particular topic:

DayZ is a game that certainly doesn't need achievements to compensate for a lack of organic fun, but if done right I think there is still the potential to add value to the game for some -- if not many -- players in the community.

They tell you more about how a person spends their time playing the game than a few simple statistics can, for one. For others, particularly when there is a great level of difficulty, timing, or luck involved, they can serve as badges of honor or monuments to long-term accomplishments.

Perhaps most importantly of all, don't forget that this game will include a single player mode as well. I imagine that a well-thought-out set of achievements would go a long way in making that mode feel worthwhile, especially with achievements specific to that game mode.

Whether we want them or not, DayZ WILL have achievements. It's a requirement for PlayStation and XBox, which are both platforms that this game will eventually make its way onto. Since Steam supports achievements, it would make little sense to have them present on consoles but not PC. Also, ArmA III has them, so there's a precedent from Bohemia for supporting them.

Thank you Tatanko for informatic answer. And yeah there might not be good reason for achievements but maybe for 10 or some small amount.
